ALOHA!

Hello from Hawaii!!! I just wanted everyone to know that things are so good here! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of craziness, but we made it through.

We packed our little hearts out and finally got rid of all the things we no longer wanted. I can't believe how much stuff we have! We are so lucky. Of course, I married a dumpster diver! As part of our manager position, we took care of the garbage areas. We had to have things hauled, etc. Well, turns out, Brian thought we could use everything that he "hauled" away. There were things like a cd shelf, coolers, junky playground equipment... the list goes on! So, he had to haul it all back to the garbage.

I worked really hard to make sure that Farmington Oaks will survive the little while without a manager. They hadn't done any interviews as of Tuesday of last week. So, I made sure that things were in order and there was a list of things that needed attention. The list was long, and I felt like I hadn't done the the job well. In my heart I know that I did things the best I could... there is just a lot to do all the time.

The best thing that has happened... Brian is a college GRADUATE! He finished classes on Tuesday of last week. He kicked butt taking 21 hours to graduate, and he showed everyone his true colors! He has grown so much this semester. He has created such a great example for our family.

Then we hopped on a plane on Thursday morning and came here to paradise! The temp has been in the low 80s, and felt oh so goooooood!

Lola is a water baby and really loves the beach. I mean, she eats sand like it is candy! She runs away from us, bends down and takes a bite out of the beach. Too bad her turds come out like almond roca. I will get it on video...
