Searching for Steve Urkel

Ok this is definitley one of my corny videos but I'm not going to lie I love it.

I love it because as I stated in my previous videos I am obsessed with tv shows from back in the day .

The idea that I can visit an area where something was filmed is exciting to me ( can you tell I have no life lol?)

So anyway my brother and I till this day still watch Family Matters and we wanted to see the hotel where the Disney World episode was filmed so that's exactly what we did along with my hubby, mom and our two kids.

The name of the hotel was Disney's Wilderness Lodge . This was shot last August but I just decided to upload it online like 2 or 3 days ago.

Warning: Horribly Cheesy Editing plus extreme Cornyness

I Miss 90's Music & TV

I did not feel like typing , instead I felt like blabbing so enjoy and let me know ....

Do you miss tv shows from back in the day to ?

My Visit to Pearl Harbor

Today my family and I visited the most toured place in Hawaii PEARL HARBOR.

Let me just say that I feel guilty for not visiting sooner. Words cannot describe the emotion and feeling that comes upon you when you realize that you are standing on top of a sunken ship and hundreds (if not thousands) of brave men and women who gave there lives .

I already had a brief understanding of what occurred on December 7, 1941 but did not really have the indepth knowledge that I should have except for watching the movie Pearl Harbor.

Little did I know that the Airfield my husband works on was the site of the first attacks on PH.
Wheeler Army Airfield was a primary target and site of the first attack on 7 December 1941, leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor.^[2] The Japanese attacked the airfield to prevent the numerous planes there from getting airborne and engaging them. The installation has a National Historic Landmark District in association with the attack on 7 December, 1941. The 1941 Flightline, hangars and barracks survive today^{[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler_Army_Airfield)}

The mood was somber as we boarded the boat to head out to the USS Arizona Memorial . When we arrived we were asked to remember that even though this is a tourist area it is still a cemetary and voices should be low and respect given. The most amazing thing is that 68 years later you can still see the oil on the surface of the water that has been bubbling from the sunken ship below the surface.


While I cannot stand living in Hawaii I have to say that today I appreciate living here alittle more and as sad as I am that my husband will be leaving me to go to Iraq ... I am really proud of the sacrifice he is making as did the brave men and women on December 7, 1941.

Normalcy for Me.......

As I am driving to my husbands job yesterday I pass airmen running, soldiers PT'ing in the middle of the road.

The speed limit from 6:30-7:45pm is only 10mph. Doesn't matter that their are actually people who need to get offpost to other jobs or to the Army Airfield across the street to get to the middle school. Our brave men and women own the road until a quarter to 8.

I pass a convoy of humvees with soldiers sitting at the top as if where about to go to war right here onpost.

As I am driving back from hubbies job I see a blowup doll on the side of the road with soldiers practicing CPR or something of the other on it.

I see soldiers doing the infamous soldier crawl on the ground holding there rifles.

When I get home I hear bullets flying over at the range that is around the corner from my home, along with a cannon or two. Lest not forget the constant buzzing of helicopters that looks like huge black mosquitos. I watch those fly towards the mountains most days from my porch.

They do this just as normal while everyday moms like me ride past to drop there kids off to school. The kids think it's soooo cool and I have to admit mommy does to.

Where Will We Live?

So it's pretty much come out in my other posts so I mind as well just blatantly spit it out. My husband is in the Army. I had tried to keep it quiet simply because I talk about it constantly on my other blog www.armywife101.com where I am documenting our countdown to deployment and just my life as a Army wife.

Anyhow we have 3 more years until my husband decides weather he will choose to reenlist or if he will get out permanently and we can truly start our lives in one place.

Before we moved to Hawaii in March of this year, we were stationed in Savannah GA. I admit people that I am obsessed with GA. I love being in the center of it all. If we want to jump up and go to Florida for a weekend we can quickly or we could hop down to Charleston SC or ATL.

I have been doing my research for almost 3 years where in GA I want to live in and I have chosen Cobb County. I must admit it feels extremely weird to make these kind of future plans when our future is so darn uncertain.

I think I found my dream house or the house I want mine to be similar to:

Ok ok I know probably alittle to fancy but hey Im from NY where this house would probably be well over a $1,000,000 and in GA it's $250,000.

In any event I chose something alittle more realistic :


Not bad for $160k right?

As much as I love the Army lifestyle and living on a military base and all that goes along with it, I am truly looking forward to living a nice normal live in the GA suburbs.

My kids crack me up ..... So I am going through my photobucket pics and videos and I come across this video from about 2 years ago.

Disclaimer: I normally do not nor did I ever let my kids do this but their dad was in Iraq and I wanted him to see what they were sneaking and doing .

Just that one time did I let them have permission. Oh and excuse my daughters hair it was early on a Saturday morning. Mama hadn't got the brush to her head yet lol!
