No post since January!

Its crazy to think that I have not written a blog post since January! Its not like we have not done anything fun. We do stuff every week! I always say that I want to blog about the things that we do but then I never do. Procrastination sure is an awful thing! Hopefully once my Facebook account is gone I will be wasting less time on-line so that when I do get on I sit and write a blog. While the kids are napping or having quiet time is the perfect time! So I just need to DO IT! 

We officially have less then a year here in Okinawa. We are supposed to be leaving May 2013. So this year we are trying to make sure to get out and do even more! Every week I am planning multiple outings/play dates for the kids and plenty of family outings as well. I love getting the children out of the house! They both love to be outside so much! If only it did not get so awfully HOT and HUMID here! I personally do not do well in the heat! 

A lot has been going on with our family over the past 6 months. We have been working hard and playing hard! For now I will give you an update on each member of our family! Starting with the head of the house and working my way down. 

Cameron is working on finishing up his Associates degree. He is almost there! Just 3 more classes! I am proud of him! We have also been trying to figure out our next step in the military. Whether he cross trains, goes postal or stays AGE. Where we would like to try to be stationed? All of those lovely questions that come up with military life. We have both been praying about what we should do. I know that we will come up with the best solution possible through prayer. 

Ever since Cameron and I have been married I have told him that he needs to find a hobby. I always felt like I had stuff to keep me busy and entertained on my own that he should have his own. He fell in love with photography! He can take some great pictures! Also in the post year he has fallen in love with Scuba Diving and Nudibranchs. He also incorporates photography into this. He goes diving a few times a week. It seems that he just can not get enough of it. He has even found a group of dive buddies!

While diving he loves to take pictures of Nudibranchs (Sea Slugs). Him and his friend Randy have started and run a group where they are trying to identify all of the different ones around Okinawa. So far he has personally photographed 76 different species of them! The group as a whole has found over 150! The Nudibranchs can be as small as a pen prick to as big as a sheet of paper. Occasionally even bigger then that! It's fun to see pictures of all the different kinds! I am glad that he has found somethings that interests him so much! Its nice for him to have things he loves to do that can also help reduce his stress!

What he really loves though is when I can go diving with him! But it's not always easy to find a sitter so that I can go with him! I do try though. I am trying to go at least 2 times a month! I feel like it is important for me to experience diving with him since it is a love of his! We are torn we would love to leave Okinawa in a year like we are supposed to so that we can dive around Okinawa more but at the same time we really want to leave Okinawa. Oh, well! We will just have to enjoy all the time that we do have to dive and make the most out of it! I am sure we also have some dive trips coming up in the future. Who know when that will end up being though!

Look forward to the next update on another family member in the next few days! Thanks for stopping by!
