Ready or Not, Here We Go!

The last few weeks have been quite the whirlwind: Nate's graduation, moving out of our apartment, my best friend's wedding, spending a week in Boise with family, another week in Montana with more family, etc. We've been having a fantastic time and I can't believe we still have a week left before we head for home.

Nate has been officially accepted to the Nutrition program at the University of Hawaii and offered a teaching assistantship that will waive his tuition and offer a small stipend. It is such a blessing to have that support from the school. I don't know how we would have managed without it. We purchased our tickets today to move out there and will be flying out to Honolulu on July 22. We ship boxes there tomorrow - thanks Josh and Julie for letting us send you our stuff! Even with all of this it all seems surreal. I suppose it won't seem real until I look out the plane window and see somthing like this:


or walk down the street to enjoy a scene like this one:


I think I can handle the change.
Come and visit!
Aloha!

YAY! Congrats on the assistantship. I knew he would get it. You are awesome and we can't wait to come visit. We miss you already.

Waaa hoooo!!!! I am SO EXCITED for you two! The only problem is that I already miss you like crazy. I keep on thinking to myself "we can invite Deb and Nate over tonight." Only to remember that I can't. You two are fantastic.
P.S. I want pictures of Oklahoma. You know: the street where you live, the backyard where you played as a wee child, etc. I need a virtual tour, and so does the blogging world.
P.P.S. I am going to get that big, white, puffy slip to your parents one of these days. Promise.
