Saying Goodbye to Hawaii

Aloha friends/family,
Sorry for the delay but wanted to know our destination before I gave my final goodbye to Hawaii! Jeff has been hired by King Aerospace in Dallas, Tx. We are flying out of Hawaii on the 11th of June, arriving at DFW on the 12th. We are homeless until August 1st where we will be moving into a lease home in Frisco. We will continue to lease out our home in Fort Worth and eventually sell it, as the commute would be way too much. For those I told we would have a pool in the backyard, I apologize, the AHole owner decided to raise amount of rent after we applied, Jiffy sayed "Hell No", so we found another house that has community pool. The boys and I will be travelling down the east coast during the month of July. Jiffy (hopefully) will fly into Pa to join us for the 4th of July weekend for his retirement party.

Hawaii has been many things for me in these past 3 years, and I cannot honestly say I regret it, but I am truly happy to be going home! Hawaiins are true thrill seekers living on the edge. From the die hard surfers, surfing when the "No surfing flags" are up to a no helmet law, so seeing a motorcycle go flying past you at 80+ MPH not wearing a helmet is a common occurance. You will also see many trucks pass you with whole families lounging in the back, as seen in the picture with the 3 HUGE Hawaiins riding in chairs, all scarfing food! On the island they have very large, very creepy looking centipedes so the locals keep chickens in their yards to eat them, well sometimes these chickens venture onto roads and highways as seen in picture below taken on the Pali. Then there is my alltime favorite, of the dog sporting better sunglasses than I have, that was taken New Year's day at the lighthouse hike. The views here are amazing, and we have tons of pictures and memories.
