Home Sweet Home


And we're back! We arrived safely in Hawaii, narrowly missing the killer storms that slammed into California literally minutes after we were airborne. Another flight to Hawaii that was supposed to leave only one hour later than ours was delayed for two hours because of weather conditions; after that, many others we canceled or delayed. Needless to say, Lianna and I are very thankful that we got up at an inhuman hour of 4:30 am to be out of the house at 5:00 am. But we did it and we made it out and now we are back home enjoying the last wonderful bit of our vacation before we jump head-on into the new school year.

Now that we are back, we are making preparations for the semester... part of which is working hard to desperately try to make up some of the money that we didn't make while we were away from our jobs on the mainland. Then there are the other necessities like doing some grocery and school supply shopping, doing laundry, cleaning, and getting everything ready so that the transition from vacation to school won't be as drastic.

Soon after we were settled in, our wonderful friends, Jimmy and Mikensi invited us over for a dinner that was quite delicious. After eating a full dinner, complete with dessert and all, we played games, the game of Life. It must have been about 13 years since I had played that game. But it was so much fun. We truly are blessed to have such great friends.
