It’s already been 6 months since we’ve moved to Hawaii.  We’ve been loving it and feel so blessed to live in paradise.  No, we don’t go to the beach every day, not even every week, but when we do it makes it so much more of a blessing to call this our home now.

Here’s a recap of what’s been going on while we’ve been livin’ da island life so far

 

Went for a run and this was my view of Ko’Olina and the Waianae Coast

Hibiscus, or “hibiscuits” as Ryan says, as big as your face growing in our garden.

Little did we know this was the last time we’d see the penguins at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.  They moved to Maryland, of all places.
