Guess what guess what?!

There is a rainbow every day in Hawaii! Love it!

So lots of fun news, some are still in the works, and I can't tell you about them...but I have other news!

We unofficially officially maybe have a home.  We are checking it out tomorrow, and if it works then it's ours! Pray that it's perfect because as much as I love this hotel, I'm stoked for our house!  We went and checked out the model home, and it was lovely. 2 bedroom, PANTRY, and PLUSH carpet! I was pretty darn excited!  This also means that all the DIY shows I've been watching are going to be paying off fairly soon, be on the lookout for some fun DIY bits in here of things I'll make for our new home, I already have a few ideas in the works...can you say National Geographic End Table?...


Today we went snorkeling at Hanama Bay! It was formed a long time ago from volcanic activity, which reminds me when I was in 7th grade, my favorite movie was Dante's Peak. Why, I have no clue. But to this day, I still think it is absolutely fantastic, I actually watched part of it today, so good. Just like my breakfast, love pancakes.
 Back to snorkeling, the drive there was intense, but the swimming itself was a lot of fun. It was pretty cloudy which was nice so it wasn't too bright, but it was still a little chilly.
You'd be surprised that it's pretty mild temperature wise.  When we first got out into the reef it was bustling with fish activity and we saw a sea turtle!! However by mid-morning most of the fish were gone. We got to see lots of fish, and coral, I made sure not to make any anemones, while I was there by not ruining any of the sea life.. Makes me really excited for all things Hawaii!!

Our big news is that today we bought our car!!! It's a 2008 Chrysler Siebring, she's beautiful. It was 8:30 tonight when we got her, so I just have a picture with my car key, I'll get some pics with her tomorrow, she's this really cool blue silver color, so happy.


Also exciting, we went and got library cards today! So I got some new books, I just finished The Water Mirror by Kai Meyer, and it was decent, but nothing exciting,
My new books are
The Tail of Emily Windsnap  by Liz Kessler
Need by Carrie Jones
Secret of the Sirens by Julia Golding
All look quite fun and interesting, I'm looking forward to getting into them, also, in exciting news Tera Lynn Child's new book Sweet Shadows just came out, and I've got the jibbers to get my hands on that one, and the new Rick Riordan books. I'M SO HAPPY I BELONG TO A LIBRARY AGAIN!!! It's been too long...too long.

Oh, and I won a contest for earrings, which is pretty cool, but I don't have my ears pierced, so I'm going to have to convert them. I'm thinking about getting my ears organically pierced, which is like a mini gauge in my ears made out of wood or glass this way I don't have an allergic reaction and once they heal then I can put normal earrings in. I'm not quite sure yet, I have way too many other things I"m thinking about right now to think about this, but it's mulling in the back of my mind.

I don't know about you, but I enjoy a good TV show or two, what are you looking forward to coming back this fall?  I know my favorite shows are coming back/are back!! Love Fall Premieres.


Love,
Aj

Aloha from Hawaii

Today I read a weather report of the average in Hawaii. It talked about how there is more like a Summer and Winter, with summer ranging anywhere from 78-85 degrees, and winter lows (they seriously wrote the word lows) of 70-75 degrees.  Hilarious. Our sponsor is fantastic, and our hotel is lovely. Our sponsor told us that most people wait about a week or two for housing, so please keep us in your prayers that we can get a house within the week, because I don't really want to live off base, on base is so pretty.  We found a few different cars we like, and so we're testing them tonight and tomorrow. 

I also have a job interview tomorrow at the Salvation Army working at their day camp! Wish me luck! It's a fantastic job, and I really hope I get the job, the place is beautiful, so we'll see! I also made my first friend yesterday, her name is Dawn and she's lovely and hilarious. We're going to go to the Chevelle concert on Saturday. I also discovered the wives club here, and the next meeting is next Tuesday, and it's Hell's Kitchen themed.  Everyone is super nice, and we were able to go to Waikiki and walk the beach.  We went to a 50's themed cafe and I had a pineapple/ham/hamburger thing, it was so delicious. I don't know why, but I've been RAVENOUS lately, it's a tad ridiculous (Me? Crave a hamburger? This has never happened...until today...maybe I'm housing an alien).  I feel really jubilant right now, and a little tired, maybe a nap is in order. 

Life is good, God is great, and Hawaii is fantastic.

Also, I got to have a root beer float :-)

Aloha and Mahalo for the prayers,

Aj
