#2 Hike up a mountain

Well, I DID IT, with the company of my good friend Jessica!  It was the Mokapuu Lighthouse hiking trail.  It wasn't a very steep one, and it was paved. But it was definitely a work out... it was a little over two miles and was quite steep in areas.  I could feel it in my legs and butt.  The views we had were gorgeous!  I have a picture of me at the top it will be posted soon.  I must admit... I felt accomplished. The trail also had some old WWII bunkers and what not.  I want to do it again in the "winter" months so I can see the whales.

I am looking into prices to go to Maui now- looks like when we get our deposit back from the old place it will be paid for! It's going to be our 1 year/pre-deployment vacation.

get my tattoo, teach Barney 5 new tricks (1/5)

I GOT MY TATTOO! yup it looks awesome if I must say so myself. The design I had would not load onto the computer so he designed one instead... IT LOOKS AMAZING and so much better than what I did. I got it on my shoulder blade.  It honors my Italian heritage and since I wanted a hibiscus flower- you can say it honors my new home...or flowers we saw on our honeymoon.

 I am happy with it. And will post a better picture once I am healed. I must say (or type, I guess) I feel kind of bad that I went without Drew because he wanted to go with me, but since I was already there while my friend got her piercing, we decided that we should go for it and I should get my tattoo. I told Drew he seemed kind of upset I didn't wait for him. This means I get to scratch off another thing on my challenge.


after color-it's blurry cause it has the stuff on it


before coloring










Barney also learned a new trick... to give one paw and then the other. Oh my little demon, when he's good he's the best dog ever. When he's bad- I want to take him out behind the barn like "Old Yeller".

WE MOVED!!! oh and 2/10- Kahunas!

So we moved into our place yesterday! A nice decently sized 3 bedroom house! Not gonna lie, I pretty much love it. Barney is adjusting well to his new home also.

Oh and I ate at Kahuna's last night... its a place on base- Taco Tuesdays. Not too bad and decently priced. It's cheaper than going and getting a meal at a fast-food joint.

watch a movie starting with each letter of the alphabet that I have never seen before. eat at 10 new restaurants

A is for American Psycho

Talk about a Psychotic movie (guess the title fits it well).

R is for Rachel Getting Married

This movie sucked. Poor acting (minus Anne Hathaway), the filming looked like they gave the camera to a 5 year old, oh and it was just a lot of weird random parts of different cultures in the entire wedding that seemed to have no place there. It was hard to sit through.

S is for Semi-pro

Will Ferrel never lets me down in his comedies. I was cracking up the entire movie.

Eat at a 10 restaurants that I've never eaten before (1/10)

Drew took me down to Waikiki last night for a date night before he leaves for training. We ate at a restaurant that we have never been to before. Called Duke's Station. They had a band there and the prices weren't too bad either. It was a good time and the food and band were great.
