Busy Week

Well we survived a busy week. It's all done. They came and packed up all of our stuff and next time we see it will be in Hawaii. I have to admit this was one of the nicest moves I have ever done. After we got our bags packed with what we were taking with us the movers did the rest. We still ended up staying up late going through everything, we didn't want to take any unnecessary thing with us. Gracie also had a big week it was her preschool graduation. She got her first degree and Deven got a little bit excited soon he will be getting his last degree. What a great year for us!!!! Everything is going great so far for the house and we are excited we love the neighborhood and feel like it will be a great home for us the next few years. Things just fell into place and we really feel like this is the house and the neighborhood we are suppose to be in, not to mention we couldn't have done much better on a commute for Deven so we should see him more and he will spend less time in traffic. We will be living in Miliani. It is centrally located so we are about 20 minutes from Honolulu and about 20 minutes from the North Shore. He is only about 15 minutes from Trippler (the hospital he is working at) so it will probably take him about 30 minutes in traffic but that is pretty good all things considered.

Gracie has enjoyed preschool this past year and Mrs. Gourley has been a great teacher for her. She is very patient with Gracie and we have really appreciated that. Gracie has come a long way We are so proud of you. Heres to a lot more degrees.

Aloha

Well we are getting ready to fly home tomorrow. It has been a fun, stressful, exhausting trip. We managed to squeeze in a little much needed fun as house hunting was getting to both of us. So Deven and the dive leader convinced me to dive the ship wreck. I was reluctant but I gave in to peer pressure. In this case I am so glad I did. I dove 102 feet to see the ship wreck (the Sea Tiger). It was one of the coolest things I have ever done. I even saw an eel and I didn't freak out too bad. I just kept my distance. (They are so creepy looking... at least that is what I think, you can form your own opinion I am sharing my picture of it with you). Today we put an offer in and are just waiting to hear if they will accept it or not, so Deven and I drove around to find a beach we had never been to watch the sun set. It turned out to be beautiful. It was a beach just before the north shore. It was so calm and we needed that tonight. I hate waiting. We are hoping for good news. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Projects and Moving

Well I just have to say that moving makes you have to kick it in high gear. I started this quilt for Gracie's room about a year ago. I would work on it occasionally but never made a lot of progress. I finally decided it was time. So I finally finished it!!! I was so excited this is my first quilt and hey it only took me a year. Also I have been having fun planning different rooms in my house (that I don't have yet) but I wanted to do a beach bathroom so Deven and I have been busy making a few things for it. I found a beach board mirror in a magazine and it was $300. I just couldn't justify it but Deven thought he could make one for me. I think it turned out pretty close to the actual one. Anyways I am happy with it so hopefully it will work in a bathroom. We will know soon enough wish us luck everyone we leave tomorrow to go and look for a house. It will be a pretty busy trip, we have about 30 houses we want to look at. We hope to squeeze in a little time for some fun so I will keep everyone posted and hopefully I will have some good news to share next week when we get back.
