Haputo Beach 2
















More pictures of when we finally got to the beach! It is so peaceful and instantly makes you relaxed and feel refreshed! We were the second family there on this day. The boys picked up sea cucumbers or sea slugs and we saw fish. Wonderful day!

Haputo Beach
















On Sunday, we decided to take a hike down to a beach that plenty of people have spoke about. We haven't had the time to go to the beach lately, so we were more than ready! This particular beach is located on the smaller Navy base about 10 minutes away from us. Alot of people we have met considered it their family favorite beach spot. That made me even more intrigued to visit! As I mentioned, it is a hike to get down there. If we had younger children, I do not think we would be able to visit. The boys had a blast with the hike and the fun once we got down. It is so secluded and calm that it is now our favorite beach so far! Take a look at the pictures and you will understand. It is just beautiful!
The first picture is of the opening to the beach after the hike, and one of the water is from up high, close to where the hike started.

Update

It has been a few months since I have visited and blogged! First off, I apologize. As some of you know it was a hard adjustment moving here for me. The family did great. I, on the other hand am just now coming around.
I got my school thing figured out. That was a huge stressor lifted off my shoulders. I have met some really nice ladies through the PTO. I just recently joined an excercise group that meets on M-Th-Fr at 7:30 am after the children are off to school. We walk to the track which is about a mile then we do circuit drills rotating legs, arms, legs, and abs everyday. I have found it to be a great way to keep yourself motivated since there is accountability! One Saturday a month we do a 5k. I love it! My goal is to run the next one. Yesterday I walked with a friend to help her through it. Now, since she knows she can do it, I will run next time and then run back to her to help her finish up.
The boys were busy with soccer 4 days a week. Now we are awaiting the first season of tackle football for both of my boys. They will be apart of the Yigo Jets. We have the meet and greet with the coaches on Wednesday. We have already gotten them their football shoes and will start shopping this week for pants and practice jerseys. We had Nana send us thermos coolers for them. I couldn't find them on island anywhere!
Daniel has already went on one TDY to Japan for 3 weeks. He says his shop is very high stress. On Monday, he will start on the mid-shift 11pm-7am. I hope it works out!?
Other than that we are all doing fine and enjoying life on Guam. School is out on June 11, then we will start seeing more of what the island has to offer. So be on the look out...
