We have been in Guam 1.5 weeks! The families from Chris' command gave us a very warm welcome at the airport. We spent the first week attending to details that come with moving, but we took many breaks to enjoy the island.
Here are two maps to help you place where in the world we are! By the way, the island is the size of Dallas.
Our temporary house is lovely....this is our backyard! We watch the sunset and feed fish on that little dock jutting into the water. The water is warm, clear, and offers great snorkeling. Unfortunately, we are a bit too far from the Navy base so we are looking for a closer home.
Enjoying the Guam winter!
I don't have pictures of it, but Chris has already cut down and opened two coconuts from our backyard tree. He's becoming an expert :) He also gathers mangos daily from the yard!

One afternoon, Chris brought me to a really neat mountain river near our house. It creates lots of little pools and waterfalls in its descent.
After 10 minutes, Chris convinced me to climb in this tiny hole of water. It can literally fit one body, and you cannot see what might be at the bottom. I stayed in for this picture and then scrambled out faster than lightening... still getting used to sharing water with unknown creatures!
As you can tell, we are settling in well enough to this island life! Thanks for visiting the blog and keeping up with us! As soon as we have a permanent house, we will responds to requests for our address. It may be a few more weeks.
'Til next time! We love and miss you all!
