visitors

we love it when people are able to come and visit us. since we dont get home often it helps break up some of the time away. and last week we had a few great friends come and visit! matt and wally were first. they flew in on sunday and then headed out to maui monday morning for some fun. when they came back on thursday they had boxes of krispy kreme's in hand! since we cant get them on our island it was very much appreciated.....unfortunately sara and i managed to eat almost the whole dozen by ourselves. we got to take them to a few of our favorite places to eat, show them around the town, and take a much needed trip to the beach. since they were flying stand-by the goal was to fly out friday night to start heading back to atl....but that didnt happen. after spending all day saturday in the airport we picked them up to bring them back to our house. since sunday nights flights looked better they just stayed at our house for the day instead of spending all day in the airport. they got to see a little bit more of the island, shop at the stadium swap meet, watch me play soccer, and eat at yet another one of favorite places :) little miss had such a blast this week with them. she especially loves it when visitors come because she always manages to wrap them around her fingers. she talked them into playing outside with her, watching dora and the disney channel with her, and she would pick them to hold her hands instead of us. she really is such a sweet kid when she wants to be :) on our trip to the beach she talked wally into making a sand castle with her....i cant decide who had more fun on that one :)



during matt and wally's visit we also had another friend visit. he was stationed with us when we lived in virginia and we havent seen him since (its been about 6 years). adam actually has a really cool job, he is the 3rd seat on a flight team and gets to travel all of the country and has been to quite a few foreign places flying the commandant and the heads of homeland security around. not a bad job, wish josh could get one like that (although i cant complain...ny and hawaii have been awesome places to live). adam was actually the one who first taught josh how to surf...if thats what you want to call what they did in virginia beach. and it actually worked out really well, they were able to get a few boards and since matt wanted to try his hand at surfing, they all went out to play (one of the guy's from josh's work also joined them). wally, little miss, and i happily stayed on the beach :)

so anyone else who wants to come and visit, just let us know. thats what spare bedrooms and blowup air mattresses are for! it also gives me an excuse to do some heavy duty cleaning that i dont normally have the motivation to do :)
