Before and After

This is our view from our old house:

This is from our new house:

We are almost done moving in--not too many boxes left! We are liking it very much. This place is so much nicer than our other house. I'll take some pictures when the inside is finished.

We still have room for visitors!!!

Making Like Tourists

We we able to get in a little sight-seeing this weekend. We went up to the Pali Lookout. It is a cliff on the side the Ko'olau Mountains that over looks the entire east coast of Oahu. It is also VERY windy!

Looking over Kaneohe Town and Kaneohe Bay (our new home!)

Day Off = Update!

Caleb and I have a day off from school so I thought I would post a new blog! Although, there is not too much going on here.

Caleb is, as usual, doing fantastic in school. I just hope he keeps it up! He goes to a great school and I know he is learning so much. He is still very into karate and football season will be starting soon.

My school is a little rough. We are under very strict sanctions from the govenment because of our poor test scores. This year is our last chance--if our students do not do well, the government will completely take over. My students this year are so wonderful, though. Most of them are so sweet and so polite and so cute! I can't remember being that small when I was in 7th grade. I think that they are still scared of me, though. I am trying to be mean for a while but it is not working!

As most of you know, we are getting ready to move next weekend. I am excited to have a house that is new! It is only about three years old--meaning NO ROACHES! Really, I asked the man who lives there now. The house is on the other side of the island so the drive to work will be a long one. Caleb will stay at the school he is at now (because we love it so much) as it is on my way to work anyway.

So, about a week after we move in, Randall will be going to Korea for about 10 days. Thankfully not longer! I don't know what he will be doing there. I'm sure he has explained it to me but I don't get it. Still no word on recruiting orders yet. Hopefully soon, though, so we can start begging to go back to Virginia. Or maybe somewhere near to Memphis to be closer to Mark and Amanda's new baby!

Come visit soon! Love and miss you!
