Okay... finally a little chance to write. Just wanted to update ya'll on my little adventures. I apparently LOOOOOVVVVEEEE to hike. Do I start on baby hills for beginners? NO sirree. So far I've chosen 3 hikes and they were all very different in their own ways. I've some some moderate hiking and some variation of rock climbing. I've slipped the slopes and crossed the streams and avoided wild boars. But the best part is that at the end of each of these hikes, I've seen some amazing things and felt such a sense of accomplishment. I've had so much fun this past week. Oh! I almost forgot to mention the whales! Oh... they were so beautiful. They are migrating and I watched their tails splash in the ocean and I've seen them spiral up into the air and hit head first into the water while their enormous size created large waves. SOOOOO AWESOME!!! Of course, I always bring a suit along to unwind and relax on the beach. I finally got some hiking shoes and I have blisters to prove that all this is NOT made up. Anyways, that is all for now. Off to bed for some needed rest. :)
The army is always moving us, but at least this time I get a whole new experience. On Dec 28, 2009 we headed to Oahu. Now we're livin' like the locals!

A new found passion?

A sad day...

This will be a short blog and nothing to do with Hawaii. Rustin and I found out yesterday that we have lost another dear friend in this tragic war. We are truly saddened and devastated. Dan Whitten was an amazing spirit with a contagious laugh and personality. We have enjoyed and created many lasting memories with him and his wife Starr. My heart breaks for Starr in her time of despair and I ask anyone who reads this, whether you know her or not, to pray for her to find peace and understanding in this time and the days and months to come. Dan... thank you for your sacrifice and you will be missed. Rest in peace. We love you.
