I have not logged on in several weeks and it has just been a wild ride for me. I'm taking an online class, there was spring break, kids extracurricular activities, and of course some fun. Anyhow, everything has been a blessing in my life, I just wish I could blog more often. So, today I decided to give my self a break and blog. I will try to tell you about the last couple of weeks in my life.

I'm taking an online class (History Civil War) and I have had to read three books in the last three weeks and write a research paper and five essays. So, needless to say it has been challenging but it's a very interesting class and I'm learning so much.
During Spring break we had so much fun as a family. We spent most of our days at the different beach locations. I guess you can say we are lucky because we are currently residing in Honolulu, because of my husbands job of course. We are a military family. Needless to say it's a blessing to live here and enjoy this most magnificent paradise. If you've been to Hawaii you definitely know what I'm talking about but if you've not been here before I really recommend visiting the island. I'll post a few pics of a new beach I visited. This beach is located in Hickam Air Force base and although it's not the most beautiful one I've seen so far it definitely is a nice beach. The thing I really liked is that we were so close to the airport and we could see the planes departing. My kids thought it was cool.

I also have spent some time shopping and I always love a bargain. One of the perks of being a military family is that we get to shop at the Army Exchange and I have to say they have nice things, apparel, furniture, etc... at very comfortable prices. Well, I found two shirts that I really liked for my son at very good prices. I only paid ten dollars for each shirt and they are both brand named shirts that cost a little over thirty-five dollars. Needless to say that was a very good deal for me and my son loved his shirts too. Happy son, happy mother!

Now the kids are back to school and I must admit I miss them but at least I get to have more time to work on my school work and run errands. That way when they are home they have my undivided attention and I can help them with their schoolwork. Since, I've been in Hawaii I have missed some things from the Latin marts back home. One specific thing we missed were the arepas we eat. We need a special kind of flour that I cannot find here on the island. I told my mother about this a couple of weeks ago and she surprised us with two boxes of goodies. I have to say it was sweet of her and I have enough flour to make arepas all the way through summer...lol. My kids loved the fact that she sent them Mexican candy and toys. Well this is pretty much all that has happened in the last couple of weeks. I will definitely try to blog more often and I look forward to reading your blogs as well. I hope everyone is doing well and lots of blessings to you all.

Love, 
Kenia
