ben + mandi: January 2013
http://benandmandi.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Our life and adventures. There was an error in this gadget. Wednesday, January 23, 2013. For those of you who think that Mandi and I are castaways. Taught me how to make it into a drink using some water, vanilla extract, lime juice, and sweetened condensed milk. It is AMAZING. At least I think so. Like a magical, sour, sweet, milkshake. Another of my favorites is a cherry that I think, after traveling through the Land of Google, is a Philippine transplant called, among other things, an aratile. We haven'...

ben + mandi: June 2015
http://benandmandi.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Our life and adventures. There was an error in this gadget. Saturday, June 6, 2015. It's been a while …. I've spent the past two years wanting to update our blog, but couldn't really bring myself to do it despite the many AMAZING adventures we've had (maybe I'll update on those little by little in the upcoming weeks). Why? Ben and I found out we were pregnant in May 2013 and were absolutely thrilled! Gifts from friends while in the hospital. We went on our trip (so amazing - more on that later! I receive...

Mommy Madness: March 2013
http://motherhoodsgreatestblessings.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors it's holy calling and service next to the angels.To you mothers and mothers-to-be we say: Be chaste, keep pure, live righteously, that your posterity to the last generation may call you blessed." -The First Presidency, 1942. Sunday, March 31, 2013. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. Wish it wouldn't have rained today.kind of put a damper on the whole Easter Egg Hunt tradition. So, I'...

ben + mandi: Our Year In Review
http://benandmandi.blogspot.com/2013/01/i-cant-believe-its-already-2013-where.html
Our life and adventures. There was an error in this gadget. Tuesday, January 1, 2013. Our Year In Review. I can't believe it's already 2013! Where did December go? Our attempt at blogging once a week hasn't worked out very well, but maybe that can be a New Year's resolution! 2012 brought us so many wonderful memories. It seems like it's been forever! Where does the time go? Ben had to go back to Afghanistan after we came home from Aruba, which was really hard for us both. Being newly wed and then spe...

ben + mandi: A Long Journey
http://benandmandi.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-long-journey.html
Our life and adventures. There was an error in this gadget. Saturday, April 6, 2013. I came across this quote today and it reminded me of my exact feelings about seven months ago. It took me back to sitting on an airplane remembering the people, places, and things we were leaving behind and looking forward to what was ahead. I didn't know what to think or feel but I can't ever forget how bittersweet it was. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The best day of our lives. Photo Booth at a friend's wedding.

ben + mandi: November 2012
http://benandmandi.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Our life and adventures. There was an error in this gadget. Thursday, November 8, 2012. I feel like I was just getting settled in for October, and now here we are already well into November. I guess time flies, even when you're not blogging about it! Mandi and I are still loving being here on this tropical wonderland. We also enjoyed our first Halloween together (we started dating in January 2011, and I was deployed last October). I don't know. I'm sure I'll find out. We've been snorkeling practically ev...

ben + mandi: October 2012
http://benandmandi.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Our life and adventures. There was an error in this gadget. Sunday, October 7, 2012. Another Week In Paradise. I can't believe how fast this week has flown by! It seems like the days are getting shorter which is a little sad considering we only have three years to be here on Guam. Then again, the days are shorter here. The sun sets here at 6:30 pm every day which doesn't leave us much daylight after the workday. Fortunately, we haven't let that stop us from having our fun! On Friday, we went on a date ni...

Our life and adventures. There was an error in this gadget. Monday, December 3, 2012. Attended a baptismal ceremony.Guam style. Veterans' Day hike with friends. To this amazing beach. Where Mandi ate fresh coconut! I got a new bow for hunting! While Mandi captured the sunset. On Thanksgiving morning, we drove around the southern (rural) end of the island. And Mandi rode ANOTHER carabao! Hafa Adai" pronounced "Half-a-day" is like "Aloha" in Hawaii). Santa showed up in the shoe department for Black Friday.
