Alooooooooha

I can't believe we have been here almost a week! So much has gone on that it feels more like months. We are coming to the end of our stay in a great hotel in beautiful Waikiki and the girls are getting their fill of the beach and pool scene. Despite the sun screen they are getting very brown very fast!

We met with the housing liaison on Monday and were happy to be offered 4 housing choices (that is not the usual experience...guess 22 years is finally paying off). It was a tough decision as one was an historic house with a great view of the Arizona Memorial but very small with some storage issues. The one we chose lacks the breathtaking view but is newly renovated (still working on it) 2900 sq. ft, 2 car car-port, HUGE playground across the street, and in a wonderful neighborhood full of kids, pools etc. I think we will be very happy there.

In the mean time, we will be relocating on Monday to Hickam AFB to a 2 br. apt until late August when the house is ready. Next week I have to finalize the schools for the girls as they start Aug. 3rd! I didn't love the look of Olivia's school when we drove by but have been assured by many that it is a good place.

Hope that brings you up to date with our crazy move - we got my car yesterday and are going to get David's this afternoon. David has started work and already needs to start working weekends :) (Old SWO joke for my Navy friends). Can't wait to share my photos with you.
