Displaced Beachbums

Last week, the elementary school had Career Day and FG was thrilled to go to work with FM. She readily woke up at 3:45 am for “PT”, which luckily for her, was swimming at the Navy Pool. Don’t even ask about the early morning PT. FM and I have had many discussions about the horrendous hour in which his alarm goes off every morning.  While at “work” she checked her e-mail so she’s learning early about the necessities of checking e-mail ~ let’s hope she doesn’t request a blackberry for Christmas.

The photo below is the view from FM’s office. I can safely say it’s the best office view he’s ever had! Hard to beat viewing palm trees, the hills and, of course, the ocean. He really enjoys his work at the University and especially working with the cadets. While FG was in one of his classes, she was able to speak German with a cadet whose family lives in Germany. He was a little freaked out that she spoke so well. I was a little surprised she spoke with him because she’s a little shy about speaking to strangers in English let alone German. I wish she had more of a chance to practice the language.

Don’t know if you can tell, but we’re really enjoying our time here in Guam. Especially when we read about all the snow and cold in the NE. We had to put on a jacket the other night when it got into the mid-70s! Burr..

One thing we know for sure is, where ever we retire, there will be warm temps and a beach involved 😉
