Amanda's Happenings: February 2009
http://amandathomsenslife.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 9, 2009. Tra la li lo. So, poor Keven has been really sick since Friday. He's had high fevers and a NASTY, deep cough. He even "mostly" lost his voice for the 1st time ever. Well, no fever today so he'll get to return to school after a nice, 4-day weekend for him! Except, the news was saying we are supposed to get pounded with snow starting super early in the morning. I hope it doesn't effect school, because he needs to go since there's an actual 4-day weekend this week! I'm a 33 year ol...

Amanda's Happenings: May 2010
http://amandathomsenslife.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 3, 2010. Ok, so I will officially apologize for not blogging for a LONG time. I just update on Facebook all of the time and forget about here! We have lived in Hawaii for 7 months now. I can't believe it! We have been to so many places and many more to see. But, it was nice to be able to see such an iconic, historical monument. We also drove up to Laie that day, so we could see the progress on the temple again. It was really nice to do that. I was close to having heat exhaustion! Ben got a ne...

Amanda's Happenings: December 2008

Thursday, December 18, 2008. Gettin' closer and STUPID SNOW! So, Ben is taking 1/2 day tomorrow and we'll be going strong at the house trying to get through stuff and get it packed. Our hope was to be to the stage of everything out and cleaning on Sunday, but I don't know, considering we're supposed to have MORE STUPID SNOW on Saturday. Now, mind you, I do love the snow, but not when I'm trying to move! I hope everyone stays safe in this weather, no matter where you're at. Sunday, December 7, 2008. That ...

Amanda's Happenings: April 2009
http://amandathomsenslife.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2009. A month of 1st's. So, it's hit. Yep. The cold. It's my 1st one this year. I've been lucky thus far to avoid the terribleness of being sick while everyone around me has had colds, flus, etc. Guess it was too good to be true! So, I'm sitting here, with what appears to be a sinus cold as my head is about to explode and send snot spewing everywhere! On top of that, the joys of being a woman is upon me, so I'm miserable with that! Monday, April 27, 2009. He has another tournament on...

Monday, May 11, 2009. So, on May 2nd, we attended Keven's 2nd judo tournament. He had his friend from church there, so it made it less boring for him. They got to warm-up together, which made it so Keven actually had the desire to warm-up! This time it went much faster because they had the jr's going on both mats at the same time. Keven went out FULL FORCE! He was fighting hard. We told him to be aggressive, and he SURE was! Keven with his opponent, who was more than a year older and 2 belts higher!

Amanda's Happenings: MOVING ON!
http://amandathomsenslife.blogspot.com/2009/08/moving-on.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. Also, they saw that he had been doing the exact thing that they needed, so it was little to no training. They told him they do reimbursement for school and that they wanted him to get his Bachelor's and then would get 15K more a year! Things happened so quickly and so well that we knew this is where we needed to go. All of this over the phone, an ocean apart. So, we headed to our storage unit to get rid of TONS of stuff! On the 14th. I forgot about so many things that Ben wou...

Amanda's Happenings: We're Livin' La Vida Hawaii!
http://amandathomsenslife.blogspot.com/2009/10/were-livin-la-vida-hawaii.html
Friday, October 16, 2009. We're Livin' La Vida Hawaii! We didn't do a ton throughout the week because Ben had to work, but he had Friday off, which was really nice! We had to look for beds and cars, etc. Been searching to no avail by that point. At least, nothing we could afford! We were supposed to go do a few things that day, but Keven wasn't having the best of days, so we aborted the plans. On Friday, I bought some hair dye, because the one I bought in WA was still sitting in a box ready to be shipped!

Saturday, January 24, 2009. Move, Christmas and Trip. So, we finally finished moving into my parents house and due to the snow, we ended up staying here for Christmas. That was fine. I think my parents enjoyed having someone else here, especially my Dad! Here's a few pics from Christmas. Keven got Nana some gluten-free chips and she was excited! Keven got Papa a Grumpy hat that says "Bad Attitude". He has a matching one! Would pass us in the lane that was LOADED with snow and ice! So, then we headed out ...
