Hafa Adai - Welcome!
Phil and I have been very fortunate to be given the opportunity to learn about a new culture and area of the world. We are so greatful for this gift and are looking forward to all the new adventures that lay ahead. I have started this blog to help document our experiences and explorations during out time on Guam. My goal is to make a weekly update to help us stay in touch with our family and friends and to share some of our thoughts and experiences that we encounter along the way.

A Reminder of Home

It's amazing how the smallest surprises can bring the greatest sense of pleasure.

While driving home the other night we couldn't help but notice the bright stadium lights illuminating the night sky. The stadium sits along the coastline of the harbor and the lights beckoned us to come.

We enjoyed a slow drive around the stadium watching the softball games, listening to the people having fun. When out my window I saw bright lights shining near the shore. I wondered what it was for. Curiosity got the best of us so we parked our car and walked down an illuminated path leading to a statue by the shore. There at the end of the path was the most beautiful sight of all.. Lady Liberty in all her glory! She was white and smaller than her counter part but oh how she glowed against the dark sky for all to see. It felt good to see her. We had a sense of pride and a reminder of home and why we are here doing what we do. To protect the rights and freedom of all.

This has been our best find of all!

COOL! I've never seen her. For some reason, I can't see your blog on my dashboard. I "followed" you and see me as a follower..... I am so computer challenged!

Okay, SERIOUSLY...... I still owe you money!
I keep thinking that I will see you at this and that events, but we keep missing each other I guess.

Let me know a good time to drop it by!
