wanna go to the beach?


me either.

rain, please go away.  

i will be arriving in california white, and that should be a crime.


and for those of you who don't know (had a few confused commenters) we are moving to redlands california on christmas. we will be there for approximately 11 months, i like to say a year. luke will be attending university of redlands to get a masters and when he is done we will return to hawaii.  our things are not being shipped for us because they luke's employer looks at this as an extended business trip, so we will bring some suitcases filled to the brim, and mooch the rest off of friends and family (consider yourself warned).  good news is that we will be staying in student housing that is furnished, so we don't need a lot.  and that is our story.

Nice documentation, I'm going to need to lift a few of these for beachcombers blog (:

Let us know how we can help- moving is always crazy and it's compounded by this flooding, so please call us if you need additional help with anything.

11 months isnt too bad though, but it seems long too.

anyway, this downer comment is mostly to say that you will be missed and you have friends awaiting your return! :)

Hi. You don't know me, but I was directed to your blog by my old BYUH roomie, Laura Skinner who doesn't know you either but was given your blog by someone else. Your pictures of the flood are crazy. So, so sad.

Say hi to Luke for me, please. We lived down the street from each other in Provo for a while. It's good to hear about him and your adorable family. Your girls are gorgeous. (So is your photography.) Ask Luke about Bumpy for me. (Was that his name... I'm forgetting now.)
