Aloha Hawaii



Well, we have made it to Hawaii!!! When we left Morgan it was a frigid negative 10 degrees and we said enough is enough. We were very pleased to find it was a warm balmy 79 degrees upon arrival in Honolulu. Ady loves to just wear onesies and light dresses again. We found a stroller for her and enjoy taking walks all over. We love going to the beach and I enjoyed watching Kasey show how good she is at boogie boarding! She thought she had it till the board came loose and then all that was above water was her feet. I've got to learn how to say wipeout in Hawaiian. It was a big wave, a whole 3 feet! Well good thing we have time to practice. This coming week we get to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center for free as part of my orientation and on Friday there is a Luau for all students! After a couple of long days being frustrated by used car salesman we ended buying a car from an old neighbor and with a bit of help from them we have been able find the Walmart, Costco and HomeDepot. Our house is small, no I mean tiny, actually if any of you can think of a word that means smaller than the smallest ever then that is how big it is. But fortunately we don't have much since we left so much on the mainland. Makes life simpler. We would love to have you visit but if you want plenty of space for a whole family I suggest waiting till July when hopefully we have moved into a bigger place. Then again if you want to see how we can get food out of the fridge with out getting out of bed come on over now.

I'm glad you guys made it. And really...who cares if your house is small..you'll be outside enjoying everything in Hawaii anyway..Here you need a big house becuase who wants to go out and smell the cows!

Glad to hear you made it to paradise. All I have to say is that Julie and I are EXTREMELY jealous. Extremely. The only consolation is that it is BYU still, albeit BYU-H. :P
