Beginning Blogger

This is my first attempt at blogging so forgive me if it is a little simple.  I am still trying to get the hang of all the gadgets and adding pictures.  I will get around to that when I have a little more time to figure it out.  After reading Kori's blog I realized that it would be a good way to keep everyone in the family in the loop with pictures and updates on how and what we are doing out here in Hawaii.  So here it goes.

The time change is still a little difficult to get used to.  I have to do a mental calculation of what time it is in about 3 different time zones when I think of various people in our lives.  Eventually I hope it will become second nature. 

We are still waiting for our stuff to get here.  Its a good thing we planned on buying some furniture out here because otherwise our house would be incredibly empty or we would have to use the loaner furniture that tons of people have already borrowed before us.  I haven't heard good reviews about that stuff from the other couples that got here before us so I'm glad we didn't go that route.  Once all of our stuff gets here the house will really feel like home.

The kids are adjusting wonderfully to our new surroundings.  They love it out here with the nice weather and all the stuff to do.  We took them to Sea Life Park last weekend.  They got to see the dolphin and sea lion show.  It was a pretty amazing show and Hailey is currently fascinated with dolphins so she really enjoyed it. 

We have plans to hike and kayak as well as snorkle.  There is a lot to do and we intend on doing it.  I will try and keep eveyone updated with entries on here as well as pictures.
