Aloha from Hawaii!

So, I realize it's been a long time since I have updated this and I don't plan on going in to everything that has been going on over the last few (9) months, but here is a short list:

Husband came home from 3rd (and final for a few years) deployment;
Orders came in for us to move to Hawaii - WOOT!;
moved to Hawaii and now settling in.

I will try to be better at this blog, but I believe I have said that before, so we'll see. In the meantime, what I am best at: PICTURES! :-) Just a few from my Going Away festivities and Hawaii, so far.

Me holding one of the many gifts I received from my fantastic friends!


All of us girls at The Melting Pot. I have such a great group of friends - miss them all so much (NC and Indiana!!!)


Katie bought us all a shot! :-)


Karla and Brandon gave us lei's when we got off the airplane - this is a pic of us wearing them the next day. :-)


My guys on our 5th wedding anniversary.


Me and the little monsters. ;-)


We've been doing some hiking/sight-seeing every weekend since we got here. This is the 2nd weekend when we went to Ka'Iwi Scenic Point - what a fantastic view!


A better view of the lighthouse.


The boys love the beach - Paradise Rock right on base!
