Right now Mike and I are going through a very transitional period in our lives... Our three year adventure on the islands has come to a close and we are shifting gears into the next chapter of our lives. Because it has been rather busy I have neglected my blog a little - here's to being a bit better now that life has slowed down a little bit!
A quick sum up of some of the major events of the last few months...
#1 We are very excited to start our family!! Our little boy is due Sept 19, 2014.
Our baby announcement said, "We are excited to share that our family is growing by two feet!" We have been waiting patiently for this little one to come into our lives and can hardly wait to meet him.
#2 Our time on the islands has come to an end. We felt very bittersweet about that - we are excited to be on the mainland close to family, but will really miss Hawaii, especially the Moanalua 1st Ward.
The very last day at church they sang Aloha 'Oe and some members gave us leis. It is hard to say goodbye, but I'm grateful to have made some wonderful friends/memories in Hawaii.
#3 The last week we were in Hawaii I spent in the hospital with kidney stones... it was a crazy experience I hope to never repeat! Mike was so wonderful and supportive - he had to deal with out-processing at work, the movers, the cleaners, turning in our lease, selling our other car, and taking care of me... and he never complained once. I sure married a great guy. Brother Burnett and Mike gave me a blessing and throughout the whole painful ordeal I knew everything would be just fine.
#4 We had some last minute visitors ... Lisa, Grant, Marie & Carter were all able to make it out to the islands in the last months we were there. It was so much fun to have them and see them feel the spirit of aloha!!
Currently I am back in Utah now and Mike is in Texas for recruiter training. He will complete school in six weeks... and we will begin our family / new adventure in Henderson, Nevada!
Life is good!
