Yesterday Daniel and I didn’t mind waking up at 4am if it meant moving out of the drab apartment hotel for good! We made the 30 minute, trafficless commute to catch a pre-sun run on the trail by our new place. It was so dark that I even got to wear a reflecting belt. 🙂 … Continue reading

lucky day
Today began with a rare rainbow sighting. Well, I guess they aren’t so rare here; rainbows are like clouds on Oahu. I think we’ve seen at least a partial one every day now. This morning we drove under a FULL one – that has to be lucky, right?! We think so. Why? Because we diffinitely … Continue reading

St. Anthony, St. Anthony, please come down. Something is lost and can’t be found. Well, not lost, stolen. Up until my new iPhone was stolen at the gym this evening, the most exciting events of the day had been: 1) finding a house on post that looked just like Roxy’s home in the Lifetime show … Continue reading
Homecoming
We landed in Honolulu tonight right in schedule at 5:35pm. This picture is right outside our gate in the terminal. Yep, the open air terminal. Cool! Well, actually hot. Our dry, scaly, Arizona skin sucked up the humidity immediately. It was a loonnnng 8 1/2 hour totally erect flight to Honolulu from Dallas. The flight … Continue reading
the last supper
Have you ever watched a moon rise over a mountain? We spent out last night in the Benson rental home watching the moon rise. It was the most spectacular sight we’d seen in our time in Arizona. The picture is only proof of the event because there is no way my iPhone was going to … Continue reading
sleeping on the job
This is a moving day I can get into. Bobby came solo at 8:30 this morning to start wrapping and packing our things. We basically just showed him what not to pack and then got out of the way. We do have to be at the house, though, so that leaves little to do except … Continue reading
Day before the day.
Today is the day before the day we have to light some candles under our butts and get to work on this house. On this day before the day, my mother-in-law gave me a very special gift – a family heirloom. How cool is this ring?! My father-in-law gave it to her 34 years ago … Continue reading
All I Want for Christmas …
… is to figure out how to watch the IU basketball games in Hawaii without our Direct TV package. As I mentioned yesterday, Daniel and I could be living in a hotel for up to two months; it’s highly unlikely that the dumpy efficiency we’ve booked is going to have the Big Ten Network. Any … Continue reading
Secret Recipe & Secret Wars
I stuck to aformentioned the game-plan today and made four loaves of my late Grandmother Harriet’s hand-me-down pumpkin bread. Sorry, I can’t give out the recipe because she would definitely find out. In fact, I’m sure she’s been watching me all day just to make sure I kept her secrets close to home. I am … Continue reading
36 hours in San Diego
If you happened to catch the previous post, you know that Daniel and I made our way to San Diego yesterday. Sadly, we are already heading home to Arizona. But not because we didn’t love the city. It was beautiful and seemed to have quite a bit of European influence which we are drawn to. … Continue reading
