A year in review

I noticed the counter on the side of my blog the other day - we have passed the one year mark of arriving in Hawaii and are almost at the anniversary of moving into our house (August 30).  I looked back at what we were doing last August and we were on our 4th relocation to the house in Kailua, David had started his job as Chief of Staff and the girls had both begun their year at new schools. 



David is now finished with that job and is heading to schools in preparation for the next.  Recently the Admiral presented him with an end of tour award. 


He won't like that I posted these but it's always nice to be recognized for hard work and anyone who knows him knows he worked very hard this year to make some positive changes for the waterfront. 


Once the formal stuff was out of the way they proceeded to put him in the dunk tank for the office picnic!



This was our house when we moved in...


And here it is now!  It's been a year of changes and adjustments but also a year of surprises, new experiences and joys.  I am thankful the change in job this time doesn't equal a change in location.  There is no place else we would rather be.  The next phase will require lots of time without Daddy but we will make it work.  The guest room is getting a makeover this week so now is the time to plan your trip :)
