A rainy Labor Day weekend

Friday night was amped up with a game versus Chugiak High.  They are our number one competitor and my girls had to fight in this battle.  After all the hard work the girls went through, one of my girls saved us with her amazing serves in the last game.  It was from a girl I never expected, so she was the star that night.  Everyone contributed greatly, and I am so proud of them!  The fact that we won, made me absolutely happy.  Here is our team pic, finally!  We are now 4 - 0.  Lets keep it up!

On Saturday, it was raining outside which stopped us from going to the State Fair in Palmer.  It would of been fun to eat all the food like elephant ears, turkey legs, funnel cakes, and curly fry logs.  The one time of the year you can eat all you want and not feel guilty about it.  Since it was a rainy day, Cory and I decided to drive out to Beluga Point in hopes of seeing a beluga whale.  Unfortunately, we didn't.  I have always wanted to see a wild beluga whale!  One day people, one day.  After some time by the coast, we decided to eat dinner at Haru Sushi, our favorite place.  The waitress even offered to give us ice cream on the house, but we were so full, we declined.  How silly of us.

Today we woke up and it was raining again.  No fair this year.  Today was the last day.  We didn't go last year either, but last year we didn't go because we were busy finding an apartment to move into.  When we were just married and broke.  And still broke.  Soon, I hope things work out and Cory finds a job he really enjoys.  Whether it is as an electrician apprentice or an armament system mechanic.  We even thought about him applying elsewhere out of Alaska for the air force armament mechanic job.  It just all depends.  If we have to move out of state in order for him to get a job, then we will.  I don't care where I get my degree, as long as I do, so I can move up in the teaching world.  I can't be a teacher assistant forever.  I just want to be a teacher soon, so I can bring more money home and of course finally have that as my label.  It is my goal.

Well we finally decided to cancel our Alaska Club gym membership of $133.00 a month.  In the beginning of it all when we signed up last September, we thought that price was just outrageous.  But we like that gym that much.  Cancelling was a wise choice, being that we already have a free membership on base.  Elmendorf has a really nice gym, but it is so far from where we live.  Far as in it will take us 30 mins to get there instead of 10.  It is alright though.  Cory says we should throw that money into a ROTH IRA for me, which I can't argue with.  In fact, I haven't worked out for about a month now.  I'm down to 125 instead of 130lbs, which means my muscle weight went byebye.  At the same time, I haven't been eating as much because I don't have muscles to feed.  Unlike Cory, he eats on the hour ever hour ;)  Well I did enjoy the gym today.  I did some cardio and then we jumped in the pool & hot tub after.  I might as well enjoy the pool at least before the months over when our membership is officially done for.

My filipino dish is finally done for dinner and now I must enjoy it <3
