Let the Aloha Begin!

Dane at the beach!
The kids at the Famous Hukilau Beach in Lai'e! Dane says this is his favorite one because it has little and kinda big waves!
Another pic at the beach, before the sandy mess has begun!



Mom and Dad at the PCC waiting for the Tonga village show to start--for some reason when they were here there was a heat wave and a sweat wave and mom wanted anything to get her bangs off her forehead--this is what she ended up with!


At the Luau before the night show at the PCC--good food, good fun!

I LOVE MY MOM AND DAD!

We are here and have been here for a couple weeks already, but blogging has kinda been the last thing on my mind...this is definately an adjustment! I'm deciding to write on this frequently so I can remember what happens here--it's all gonna go fast, and there are lots of things I want to remember! Okay this is what happened...Nick had an apartment ready for us in Hau'ula, about 5 minutes away from campus. It was a nice apt. but really small, a one bedroom. And I was worried and frustrated because I felt completely out of the whole school thing that Nick was getting to experience, WELL...a week after being here in our little apt. Nick was asked how fast he could move into TVA--the married/family housing on campus that is a whole lot cheaper and it's just a great place to live because there are kids everywhere and lots going on! SO...needless to say--we were thrilled to get to move in so fast being that we were #94 on the list of people to get in! I think Heavenly Father knows me better than I think he does and pulled for me on this one BIG TIME! Dane is in heaven and Paige thinks she is one of the big kids--they both LOVE living here, Nick loves it because he gets to be so close to school and just cruise across campus to come home and eat lunch or whatever and he is a happy camper! And I love it because most of the moms around here and in the exact same boat as I am and it's fun to all sit outside in the evening and watch kids play and visit! More updates and pictures to come soon!
