Who Knew?

I'm very sorry that I haven't been keeping up with my posts. I'd like to tell you that I've had a ton of stuff going on, and simply didn't have the time to get on and write. But that would be a lie. The truth is that I don't have a computer readily available, so I have to go to the local library and use their internet. It's irritating considering I've never really had to leave the house to connect to the outside world, and because I have no privacy. People on the surrounding computers seem to think it's ok to look on as I check my email, myspace, facebook, twitter, etc. NOT COOL. If you've ever done that to someone, well, just don't. It's extremely rude. Anyway, I have a lot of information to share, but I can tell you right now that I won't get through half of it at the moment. But I will give you an idea of what's been happening.
Shortly after arriving, I realized I had desperately missed many a thing I never thought possible. Things I'd taken for granted while living here in the states for the past 16 years.
I'll name a few of them:
-Restaurants. (Like Apple Bee's, good MacDonald's, Ryan's, Cracker Barrel, and Shoney's)
-Bridges. Yes bridges. Guam has little ones that go over streams, but I actually miss the site of the huge structure hanging over feet and feet of rushing, (or slowly moving) water. I got an amazing picture passing under one a couple weeks ago.
-Fireflys. I used to love catching and releasing these ever famous "butt-light bugs", as my dear brother used to call them. I saw them flying around a few nights after arriving at my grandparents house. I'd forgotten all about them, and they actually startled me, before realizing what they were.
-Stores. (Target, Wal-Mart, Deb, Sears, Aeropostale, American Eagle. All that I used to shop at, but haven't been inside for over a year and half. Needless to say I went a little crazy the first time we went to Wal-Mart. We've spent at least $200 each time we've gone in since we've been back. Hmm, maybe I should try and control myself so I can get stuff later too... Just a thought.)

Well, there is so much more that I wan to say, but I have to wrap this up because these computers have a time limit, and mine is almost up.

I hope you all are having a safe and wonderful summer!
God bless.
