Hawaii: month 1





Well we've been in Hawaii for about a month now. Things haven't been going as planned, as usual. We planned on renting when we first got here. We found a house that we loved but when we called the realtor she said that the owner had just decided to put it on the market to sell. We were heartbroken. So we decided to see what it would take to buy. So we have gotten all prepared to buy a house, except for one thing, I dont have a job. I have applied to about 12 places and have only had one interview, which I am still waiting to hear back from. So now we have been stuck in the on post Inn (which isnt bad except for the fact that we only have a microwave, too much easy mac...). If I get this job we have a house set up to buy, its actually owned by a person we met in church. Its a great 3 bedroom house with a big backyard (big for hawaii). If I dont get this job we may have to go back to the original plan.

We have been having some fun. We went hiking, went to a luau, went to the north shore, Waikiki, Honolulu and more. It is beautiful here and of course the weather is wonderful. We really miss our animals though.

Stephen is doing really well. Its finally seems like he is really in the Army. He is a platoon leader of a recon platoon. He is really enjoying it.

Well thats all for now. Aloha!
