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.

Summer equals Sports

Baseball, Hot Dogs and Apple Pie Ultimate

Summer is upon us, and yes, it's always summer here. But apparently softball is still a "Summer" sport on Guam and NAVFAC certainly has the go getter's. When the email came out letting everyone know it was time to sign up we had more than 40 people wanting to play! There are so many softball players in this command that we had to create two NAVFAC teams - one and too!. Last night was game 5 of the season against the Marines and it was a real nail bitter up to the very end with a final score of 20-21. We may have lost but we sure played hard. Phil is our pitcher and doing a great job. I am a part of the cheering section and ahem- doing a great job with that if I may say so myself. :-)  It feels so good to be out at the field (both on and off) and we are having a great time spending evenings with friends. We will have to update you on the team(s) and how they are doing as the season progresses.

But wait there is more!
If snorkeling, diving and softball aren't enough Phil also plays Ultimate Frisbee a few nights a week. This past weekend MWR had it's Grand Opening of the new Gym and Football field. First Ultimate game was there this week and boy oh boy did the guys like that! No holes to twits and ankle in, Turf run on rather than knee high grass and painted lines to show the boundaries rather than guessing. A huge thanks to MWR for giving us an awesome place to run and play!
