Santa's List, & Q goes TDY

Aloha everyone!

Well, looks like the Christmas season is in full swing! We've got our Christmas tree up and trimmed, our Holiday decorations are out and we even got a little holiday shopping done! Did anyone go Black Friday shopping? We weren't going to go, but Kevin said he wanted to, so off we went! It was actually not bad! Of course there was a LONG line outside of ToysRUs. But they were super organized and everything ran smoothly and quickly. Our Black Friday experience here was WAY better than in El Paso, TX. EVERYONE out there was pushing and shoving and trying to grab things from you. It was INSANE! But here, people of course were in a hurry, but didn't try to run you over with their carts or shove you out of the way or pull things from your hands. I actually enjoyed it! Glad the ALOHA spirit was apparent during the holiday frenzy!

Speaking of Christmas, I thought I'd share a link to show you that Tranq made Santa's list. You can check it out here. This is so cute & I couldn't pass it up to share with you all!

As you all know, this is Kev's first of 3 TDY's to Korea. This one is only for a little over a week. He will be gone for 2 1/2 weeks in January, and then for almost a month end of February/beginning of March. Which by the way he will be gone for our 5 year anniversary. *sighs* But what can I do right? That's the job of an Army wife! So I take it with a grain of salt and try to smile. Anywho.....I was going to post some LOs, but I'm having problems with GottaPixel and can't show you yet. So hopefully I'll get some to you all soon and maybe some photos when Josh comes to visit. Did I forget to mention that? Yes Josh will be coming in for the Holidays. He gets here a couple days after Kevin comes back and leaves a couple days before Kevin leaves again. LOL Okay, until next time! ALOHA!

Happy Anniversary and some new LOs

Aloha everyone! Well, first and foremost, I'd like to wish my parents a HAPPY 33rd ANNIVERSARY! So Nay & Dad, this is for you:


With that being said, I've made some more LOs and the first one I'd like to share is of M&D. I created this LO for the Quote This Challenge at GottaPixel. The quote was: "Getting Old Ain't For Sissies! ~Bette Davis~" And this is what I came up with. I believe the then photo is from 1977 and the now photo is from 2008.

Vote for The Cute Kid Halloween Contest!

Aloha everyone!

Well, I've been talking about it and talking about it, so I finally did it. I've entered Tranq into the Cute Kid contest. One in the Halloween costume & the other in the Monthly contest. Well, here's another favor I am asking of you. Please vote for Tranq HERE I think voting ends on November 15th. I believe the prize is $500. But I also entered him in the monthly contest. If he wins, HERE is a list of prizes he's eligible for. If he DOES win *crosses fingers* the monthly contest then he will be entered into the 2008 Cute Kid of the Year contest w/ a chance to win a $25,000.00 college tuition fund! There's soooo many applicants, but I'm hoping he'll get something! LOL Alright, there's my plug for Tranq. Oh...in case y'all are wondering, here's the photo I submitted for the Halloween contest:
