Weekend in Saipan

Well, the Ordelheide, Pierson and Fly clan was at it again. We had jammed packed weekend that included diving, eating, golf, brunches and very little relaxation. We really had a great time enjoying the $1 tacos at Olies on the beach. Mmmmm, tasty, cruchy tacos! Anyway, here are a few quick pics from the time on Saipan. P.S. We got 4 new Nudibranchs.

Kites for Wishes

Today we stopped by the Kites for Wishes extravaganze at Asan Park. Although it caused a huge traffic jam it was still a lot of fun to see all the kites. There was also a kite surfer doing tricks in the bay. Although it was really hot, it was about perfect with the breeze under the palm trees. Enjoy the pics.

Happy Valentines

.

Sho got her flowers a day early this year. Guam floral shops have a set "Menu" like the restaurants. I didn't want their overpriced roses that last 1 day so I had to do a little fandangling. She loved the bouquet and then we had dinner at our favorite Mediterranean restaurant. Happy Valentines.

Renovations #2

Now were have also started to remodel the little laundry room. The room only had cement so we decided to try our hand at a little tilling! Anyway, as you can see were not quite done. The man we purchased the tile from was a Shady Korean dude. Halfway through the second line we found out he gave us two sizes of tile. As most people know, tiles won't look that great after a few mis-sized ones are placed. Anyway, after convincing the lame guy that we needed the same size tiles they got us new ones. We'll try again next week!! We also started to make a mess around the vanity. It needs a power socket... Who wouldn't put a plug in a vanity area???? Have a great week.

Renovations!

In the Kitchen: The opening was about a foot lower. Making you feel like you were in a cafeteria. I had to cut down metal studs and push everything up which was a pain. At least now you can look out; or in without ducking!!


In the master bedroom there was a large wasted space above one of our closets. What you see framed now was just drywall. We demolished the old wall, removed metal studs and chipped out cement gun nails. As you can see its now on the way to giving us quite a bit of storage space!!

Keep an Eye out in the near future for the Caribou of the week photo.

Faces from Home.. :-)

Hello.......

It's been a long time since we've posted a blog. Our internet has been on the fritz. While we were at home we didn't get around to posting anything but now were back. It was great to see everyone while visiting the states. Thanks a million to everyone! Especially those who went way out of their way to see us. You really made our trip worth while! Anyway, the first work weed back is over so I guess you could say I'm back in the saddle. That also means the politics of the clinic is up and running again. Anyway, here are a few pictures of our friends from home!

Walla Walla was cold outside but warm inside!! We had a great time relaxing and enjoying your company! I'm not sure about your Salsa though Edwardo ?#@

Christmas was a blast hanging with the family. We just loved lounging around and being up to our ears in Carcazone, Settlers, Trains, Bobs crazy cards and whatever else we did. It was just nice being with you all. Miss you lots!

Too much fun with the Mundy, Munson, Ordelheide Clans. We wish we could all be a little

closer together!!! Thanks again for all the good memories!!

Miler, it meant a lot that you drove all the way from Idaho to see us!! Wish we could see more of you. Best of luck in your new pratice bro, I'm sure it will be a success!!!!!

Allison Gooch, it was great seeing you in San Fransisco. Good luck in the world of Law. Thanks for hanging out with us at Yoshi's!

Clarks, thanks so much for dropping by Walla Walla. We had a blast with you guys. Don't Forget to put Guam on that To Do List some time!

Mallory...you just make me smile!!

Of course it was great to hang out with the Hilliers in good old Oakdale!!

We love you Tawney & Mallory. We wish we could have brought you back to Guam with us!

Skyla, you are just too cute. Keep to the men in you life...they'll always like that... at least I did ;-)

Bono!!

Here's one for you U2 Fans. In Honolulu I was taking a nap on our 4 hours layover when I heard my wife say something about Bono. As I woke up a nearby lady said he had just walked by. So, I grabbed my camera and walked down the terminal, and there he was. Nice guy, we had quick conversation and a here one photo later!!

The Final Ride of the Harley Boys

Well, it's almost time to head home to California and Walla Walla... But before we head off into the wild blue yonder, I had to take one more ride! Thanks to the Generosity of Dr. Vercio letting me use his bike, we cruised the whole island. It was a great day, blue skies, ocean vistas and wind in our hair. We cruised from Tamuning, to Ritidian Point along the east side, past Cocos Island and up the west side. A few windy roads through grass coverd hils made for some extra excitement as well. As it goes, it's only one more day of work before we get a little vacation so hope to see you all soon!!

Today we finally had a little...very little blue sky! So, since I had bought a nice little helmet I decided to drive downtown to get a tuneup! That didn't exactly pan out but it was fun being on the road. (Thanks to Dr. Vercios generosity!) Gotta love the scrubs, I'm a mean man!! ;-)

Our Crazy Cat

Here is a little clip of how our cat loves to hide in boxes...she just loves to be in stuff ;-)

Name that picture Update!!

No new pictures from this weekend. I just wanted to let you know what the "Eye" photo was. It is actually a Breather hole of a Giant Clam...not an eye at all. It just really looked like one when I was editing it!! Anyway, I'm sure you were all waiting with baited breath for that answer!! Ha...our weekend is almost over. We went down south to Agat to start a "Possitive Choice" seminar! I might be getter roped into yet another thing! We'll see how it all pans out! Hope everyone has a great week. Congrats to the Pierson clan with little Briana!!! Talk to you all later!!

SDA 9/11 fun run!! (5K)

Last weekend there was the 9/11 memorial fun run. We had to get up around 5:00AM and head down to the wellness center. As you would guess...at 5 oclock it didn't seem like such a good idea. Anyway, once we were there with everyone it was a lot of fun. The morning was a little rainy which turned out to be a godsend. At 5 oclock it was still warm and humid. Anyway, I'll have to check to PDN for our times. Have a great week!!

What am I

Ok, here is a little challange for you all. Lets get some guesses of what this picture is all about! Thats right...
Try to Name Me!!!
Get as spacific as possible & place you answer in the comment area!

Happy Diver & New Nudibranch!!

This Sunday Shoshanna, Eric & I went out with GTDS to do some diving. It was great weather and beautiful water. At Blue hole we saw an Eagle Ray, Turtle and a NEW NUDIBRANCH!!! Then we went to Gab Gab where we saw giant trevalies and the local tourist submarine...I'm sure I'll be in some Japanese's photo album as the "Waving diver" they saw on the submarine!! Anyway, great times and here some photos!!

New Nudibranch - Roboastra gracilis

Spotted Eagle Ray

Falco Hawkfish

Eric with Anemonefish

Octopus

China Picture Framed

Well, we went down and got a really nice frame for our Changdu picture. It look very nice and matches the livingroom great!! You can't quite tell, but he frames is bamboo which matches the painting!!

Goodbye to Wendy

Well, Wendy's (Shoshanna's Mom) one month in Guam has already come in gone. It went awefully fast. No more already cooked lunches and dinners for a while!!! We had a great time, and she help spruce up our home a little. I'm pretty sure she is on a first name basis with everyone at Ross!! I hope she had a good trip home.

On Sunday the weather cooperated very nicely so we decided to do a little diving!! Here are a few Nudies we saw while blowing bubbles...bubbles, my bubbles ;-) I also had a great picture of Shoshanna playing in the grass with her scuba gear on...but I would rather not sleep on our couch for the next week. Cheers
