Hawaii

Hey there!  Well, the trip ended up being more crazy than we expected, and we managed to make it all the way to Hawaii without one blog entry! So, I'll come back and tell everyone about our visits with friends and family along the way from Colorado to the Islands, but for now, I'm just dropping for the big update:

We're here, we're safe, we have the dogs, and we're moving into a house next Friday!  Things are moving quickly, and we have to thank everyone for your prayers and support along the way. We couldn't have made it here without you all!

So, for all of you who have been asking, here's what we know about our house so far:

We're going to be living in military housing, in a neighborhood called Moanalua Terrace.  Our place is a combination of a townhouse and a duplex - we have a two-story, two-bedroom place on the the left side of a two-unit building.  The community is run by a private leasing company, so it'll be mostly like living in an apartment complex.  Here's a link to the community website: http://www.fcnavyhawaii.com/neighborhoods_listing.asp?tab=overview&ccc=21496547

We'll post pictures of the actual place once we move in.  We pick up keys next Friday morning, and our household goods will arrive later that day.  We have called to get cable & internet set up, but the first available installation date they could guarantee was September 1.  They have put us on the waiting list for an earlier date, but wouldn't make any promises. If we don't have internet at home, I'll have to find another place to work, so pray for our installation to get moved up!

More updates soon!  Until then - here's us at Waikiki beach:
