One year ago today we got on a plane and moved to Hawaii! Some days it feels like we have been here forever and that I will never again experience the luxuries of the mainland such as carpet, a house with a yard not a tiny apartment 16 stories up, living more than a block from the freeway, laying in bed and having it be silent, not hearing sirens, mopeds or street racing, normal food that I can actually afford, parks without bums, not having cockroaches or geckos in my house, police who actually fight crime, and people that speak English!!! It is definitely a different world over here but then there are days we wake up to beautiful sunshine and drive 5 mins and are able to lay on the most beautiful beaches and can't believe that we live in such a beautiful place. It has been a rough year, especially the first few months...if you have forgotten all of our horror stories you can go back and read our August entries from last year, but we have really learned a lot while we have been here and I think can now say that we are grateful for this adventure in our lives and will really miss this place when we leave...but yes we are going to leave. So...for all of you especially MY FAMILY, who have STILL NOT COME TO VISIT ...get your BUTTS on a plane and get over here while you can!!!

WOW! A year really went by fast...I guess for us since we arent the ones dealing with the geckos and cockroaches:) We do miss you though!
Amen! Do you want to celebrate by getting a night at the St Louis Heights Inn??? I am sure we could help you book it? We will watch Julien for you!!! Ha ha!
Nancy...Thanks but NO THANKS!!! HAHA!
Wow guys..so are you coming home for good?
We have been trying to decide lately whether or not we want to stay here or not after Landon graduates, which will be in May. We have decided that we just dont want to raise a family here. So, we still have a year left but will probably head back to the mainland pretty soon after that.
hey! So you're not leaving till next may-ish?! Good, we really need to hang out! We fly back september 20th so we'll have to plan something! Bentley and Julien need to play!
