Our Trip

Hello! We are back from our trip and just overwhelmed at how much we loved it there. It is definitely the place for us. We had a wonderful time and left plenty to do and explore for when we move there.

Because of the time change we were up everyday for the sunrise. In an earlier post I described how I traded my sunset for a sunrise and I must say, Hawaii makes some beauties. In fact, there was so much vog in Captain Cook, we only saw one sunset while we were there!

Speaking of vog, the volcano is really acting up! It is amazing! We plan to do some real exploration when we get back. To see that kind of natural power is awe inspiring.

I never wore anything more than a tanktop. Since I like to be warm and have always said I would get a second job to pay for heat before I am cold in the winter. So, it is pretty awesome to be warm all the time.

The people are very friendly. I really have nothing negative to note at all except maybe I don't think we went faster than 45 mph anywhere on the island!

Can I just say that Oahu is an amazing island? It was just stunning. I did try to find my house that I lived in as a little girl, but was unsuccessful. I just take that as a sign that we will have to go back.

I am adding a video of our trip. Enjoy!

We are now working like crazy to get the houses on the market. Darin fell ill this last week and we are having a house full of guests this next week. I am feeling a lot of pressure. Little by little, a lot of projects are falling off my list. It is quickly getting to the point where it is good enough. We will not get any more money out of it. The bathroom is looking good. I painted it yesterday. We will caulk the shower today and seal the tile. Then we can move out of the girls' bathroom and back into ours. I am excited about that! I will put up pictures soon.

While I was updating the girls' bathroom I had to take a few steps backward to move forward. That is frustrating but it will look good. I will add pictures of that as well.

Lastly, I bought a new comforter set for my bedroom and think it will really add some pop to the place. It will also go with anything we do in Hawaii as well.

I am planning on placing the right price on the house right at the get-go and get this thing into escrow.

More updates later! Enjoy the video!
