Aloha 'Oe.

This is our last wk in Hawaii.  It's crunch time and we're getting the last of our bags packed and shipped to Florida.  We are moving to Florida.  I'm totally EXCITED to go and enjoy the life we'll make for ourselves there but i'm also sad to leave the island and the people we've grown to love.  We know this isn't the last time we'll be here so it's not so hard to let go.  One day last week Jesse and I cruised around the island and just stopped at random places.  My mom was wonderful and watched the kids for the day. On the drive we were thinking, maybe we shouldn't have done it because we realized how lucky and blessed we were to live in such a beautiful place, AGAIN, but this time with our kids.   black sand beach..so pretty can u see dude crush?  there were 6 turtles all together.

 

I'm glad we made the move to Hawaii even though our time here was short and definitely hard at times.  It made us appreciate the things we've come to love and also appreciate the things we've taken for granted at times.  We'll miss the ALOHA SPIRIT everyone has here.  One day we were shopping at the grocery store and while we were checking out, a random stranger bought the kids ice cream bars and told us how lovely they were and what a blessing children are.  It seems that everyone here is always looking out for one another and ready to lend a helping hand.  We are both excited for the kids to get to know the other side of our family too.  It's been years since Jesse's been home and we're happy to settle there, for now at least ;) , and expose the kids to the things that Jesse's done as a child....Disney World, HERE WE COME!! lol....
