April 22nd-Hanging out with Krista & Kids

Krista picked me up around noon and took me to her house where her son Josh was making Doughnuts for a class project. We hungout at her house until the other kids got out of school then we picked them up and went to the Air and Space Museum...
...When we first started looking around, we found some people from the Air Force that had a plane set up outside with steps leading up to the cockpit so that people could see what it looked like. Then when we got inside, they had people that would let you try on their uniforms & backpacks and see the guns they use... Then we found a Bed of Nails...you laid down on a flat bed and when someone pushed the button a bed of nails would lift you up...it didn't hurt at all!!...actually it reminded me of the needle things that you can play with and make imprints of your hands etc...
Next we found some Firefighter Uniforms and tried them on...Here they found a Coin flipper thing-you push a button and it flips the coin inside a little bubble thing like in the game Trouble, and they have little beads for you to keep track of how many times it lands on Heads or tails...
...here's another fun thing we found there-notice the floor makes it look like you're actually walking over the City Street...It was a FUN day!! ~Thank you Krista & Kids for an enjoyable day!!

Around 10:00 in the morning on April 18th, I walked Daniel out to the car to say "goodbye" and send him off to North Carolina for Temporary Duty and Field Medic Training...He will be there until Mid-July, however, he is going to try to come visit on a weekend or two if he can.
...There goes my Hubby...
After Daniel left, I went back to the apartment to study Lesson 31 in the Joseph Smith-Teaching of The Prophets Manuel for Relief Society (I was asked to sub-teach for Sunday the 19th).
After studying for awhile, I called Stacie and invited her over. When she got here we decided to walk over to the Ferry and take it across the River over to Norfolk so we could go walk around the Mall for awhile. Before heading back, we got a couple of Smoothies-and they were Gooood!!
It was a beautiful day and we had fun visiting while we walked around. It was Sooooo nice to get out of the Apartment for awhile!!!

That evening around 6:00 pm, my friends Racheal and Brandon picked me up and took me to Virginia Beach to go Mini Golfing. We played 18 holes and Rachael came in 1st with 45 points, Brandon got 57...and I came in last...lol, I don't remember what I got, but it was "Up there!"
When I golf I usually manage to get the Highest score, and when I play games that you're supposed to get the Highest score, I claim it as 'playing golf,' since I usually get the least amount of points!! LOL...my Game Point System must be wired backwards!!
Here are a few pics that I got with my Cell ph-(I forgot my camera):
"...Hey.. You... Guy..."
When we were done Golfing, they took me to a movie called "Dragonball." I never really saw the TV Series, but the Movie was good.
~Thank you Stacie, Rachael & Brandon for a Fun Filled Day!!

Mickey came to Town!!...

It was around 11:30 pm that we found ourselves anxiously awaiting at the Airport in Norfolk, on Thursday, March 26th, as one of our good friends from Utah was coming to visit... Her name: Mickey, a.k.a Michelle (but really it's vice versa...we just like to call her Mickey).
As the story goes and the weekend unfolds- after picking Mickey up at the Airport, we returned Home and Daniel went to bed while Mickey & I stayed up visiting/watching a movie until just before 3:00 am (Eastern Time)...
Friday Daniel ended up getting home early, which was nice, because he got home just in time to meet the guys who where delivering OUR BED!!! heehee, that's right folks!...We got a BED!!...Queen size...box springs & mattress!!! HOORAY for Real/Big Beds!! heehee :-) ...ok now back to the story...
...Oh, wait, first here's a pic of our NEW bed!!...
...note: The Awesome Quilt covering Our Bed was Made in Utah ~heehee~
...My Granny Hawkins made it for Us as a Wedding gift!-And WE LOVE IT!! ;-)
After we got the bed put where we wanted it and got ready-(Mickey and I got "all dolled up")
we all went for a walk Downtown. While we were there, we found a cute little Shop called, "The Queen Bees." There's a sweet Grandma lady that runs the Shop and we had fun visiting with her as we looked around at all the fun things she had...Mickey found some cute Hats to try on as well...
...Here is one of them...
...and it suits her too!..all the Hats looked gr8 on her!...

When we were done looking around the Shop, we went over to The Commodore Theatre to get some movie tickets but had to run home and get cash because they only took cash-lol-So we walked home, got the car and went back. Daniel parked across the street from The Commodore and told Mickey and I that we could go check out The Kitchen Koop Shop down the road and he'd catch up with us after he got the tickets.
...Here's a pic of Mickey and I sittin' at our table inside The Commodore...
On Saturday, Daniel sent us "Girls," out while he stayed home and did the laundry (I know...he is SOOO awesome like that!! Such a sweetheart!!-heehee)...Mickey and I went walking Downtown checking out the different little Shops again, and decided to go back to The Queen Bee's because Mickey wanted to get a Hat...and she did...and it's a cute one too!!... OH, and as I said earlier, about the hat's all looking good on Mickey, I think that the Cute Grandma lady was having just as much fun watching/having Mickey try on the different Hats as Mickey was putting them on/wearing them!...It was FUN indeed!!
...Mickey & I out on Our walk...
After Mickey got her hat, we decided to take our "stuff" (hat & jackets) back to the Apt because it was a nice warm day...While we were at the Apt, we talked Daniel into walkin' with us to the Ferry to ride on it with us. ...Funny thing about leaving our jackets home, after we left the Apt and headed to the Ferry, it cooled down...lol!!
...While we waited for the Ferry we walked over to the Light from an old Lighthouse and got a pic of us in front of one of the Ships that are being worked on, then we went into the Shop there next to it and looked around. Daniel road on the Ferry with us over to Norfolk but had to head back so he could pick up the Missionaries & Stacie, and meet Jake, Bell, Brandon & Rachel at our place for F.H.E.(sorry didn't get a pic at F.H.E) ...Mickey and I got off the Ferry in Norfolk and walked over to the Mall and walked around there for a bit, then caught the Ferry back to Portsmouth and walked home...it started raining on us on our way home lol!! heehee...After F.H.E, Mickey made us Guacamole and Fajitas!!!...they were SOOO good!! (She told us before she came out here that she planned on doing so, I'm addicted to her guacamole and she likes to make it, so...she spoils me)-heehee.
On Sunday, Jake met us at the Apt and we all went to Church. The meetings all went very well...and after Church we drove through the City Park so Mickey could see how nice it is, then took her to the Airport.
We had a Wonderful weekend and it was a Blast having Mickey visit...and we look forward to more visits, both of having company visit us Here and visiting Utah again!
...Until next time, Keep Smilin'!! Life's Gr8!!
