It has been 2 months since we moved to Saratoga Springs, and we are just lovin it! Yeah, we miss all of our friends back in Hawaii but we will see most of y'all again. We are currently looking for a house to buy in Saratoga. We haven't looked yet but we start on Thursday. I think we are looking at 2 or three homes in the Geyser Crest area. I am still jobless. I have applied at a couple of places though, at a pet store and at lowe's. I figure I would get the best paycheck from lowe's. We'll see. We also went to Philadelphia with my sister and her husband last weekend. It was so much fun!! We got to see the Liberty Bell , we went on a carriage ride through historic philly, we also checked out the aquarium across the river from philly in Camden NJ. It was a great time and I can't wait to go back. There was a ton of traffic though, kinda like Hawaii. I will post pictures later =)

Saratoga
We have been in Saratoga Springs now for a week now. So far we love it. There is a lot of small town charm, and not a lot of traffic. We finally found a place to rent out here until we can find a house to buy. It is a 2 bedroom apartment with a good amount of space and storage. It also has a awesome view of saratoga lake. We can't wait. The only thing is that we can't move in until May 1st. Since we can't afford to live in a hotel for two more weeks we are moving in with friends that we knew from Hawaii. They are pretty cool people. Hopefully it is not as uncomfortable as I think it is going to be. We'll see. So the next step is for me to dind a job and then buy a house. I am hoping that I can find something that will allow me to continue to work with kids, and not work on weekends or late at night, and of course pay well. I have little bit of time before I have to get a job because I am still getting unemployment. I think I am going to try going to sleep now. Good Night!

It's been a while...
Sorry, that it has been sooo long. Life has been pretty busy lately. We finally moved from Hawaii on March 9. It felt like we were trapped there. We were originally were suppose to leave the Island in March 2. The boat was doing some testing and needed Kevin to stay until that was done. So we ended up staying in hotels for the last few weeks. We had a couple of going away parties that were super fun. The first one we had was a at a friends house and a lot of people came in to say their good buys. The boys floated a newcastle keg and got wasted. They had a lot of fun. The second was a going a way dinner at the Yard House in Waikiki. About twenty people showed up and wished us and Gardo well. Like I said we finally left Hawaii on March 9!!! The last people that we saw was our dearest friends Johnny and Josetta Marmelo. I lost it when we had to leave their house. It was sinking in that we were never coming back to Hawaii. This was not a vacation. We are moving to a whole other state. We got to California on March 10. We spent a week or so with my parents in Orangevale. We saw some friends and had a couple of parties. By the end of our stay in Orangevale I had a pretty big disagreement with one of my very best friends(whom I haven't talked to since). We bought a huge new truck for Kevin. He j is a just LOVES it. It is a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega cab. It is red and freakin huge!!!For the last week and some days we have been in Orland with Kevin's family. We hadn't seen them in over a year, so it has turned out to be a pretty nice visit. We are leaving California on Thursday April 2nd to drive to Saratoga Springs. Well I think that I am a little tuckered out for now. I will blog more later!

So tired of shift work... If it could even be called that
I am so ready for shift work to be over! I guess I shouldn't even call it shift work because that is not what it is. Instead of working from 6am to 4 pm Kevin has been working from 6am until 8pm. Sometimes even later. Most of the time we have spent together in the last couple of weeks has been sleeping. I am lucky that he gets to come home and sleep and that he is not on a freakin deployment, but I think that it just makes things harder just knowing that he is just a couple miles away. I just miss spending that quality time with my hubby. He is always so tired. This section of shift work is suppose to be over with on Wenesday. So if everything goes according to plan than he will have a three day weekend! WOOOOO HOOOOO! We'll see if that is actually going to happen. Only 34 more days left and no more Olympia.

So Bored!
So it has been about a month since I worked last. This is the longest that I have been with out work since I was 15 years old. Crazy man! I never thought that I could be so bored. You can only clean so much until you are done cleaning. Same thing with homework. I am pretty much done with my homework for the next two weeks. Well I guess if it warms up I can hit the pool around the corner. Well if you have any suggestions please let me know. I really miss work and all the kids.

Bye Bye Truck!
We finally gave Kevin's truck to the new owner the other day. It was kinda sad to see it go. There are so many great memories that are connected to it. It was also The first truck that Kevin bought. I look back and remember all the times we would just pack it up and go to the beach and BBQ. Or when we had zuk and would take him to the beach, and he would just crap every in the back! There are the numerous times that we would be taking people to wasted to drive home, home and they would be passed in the back seat! or just loading up our four wheelers and going up to the north shore. Now it is gone, wahhhh! just another reminder that our journey in Hawaii is almost over! 41 more days!

New Year, No job!
Well I just found out today that I will no longer be working at Wilson Elem. I am a little sad, but I believe that things happen for a reason. I am only going to be here until March 2 anyway and my last day would have been Feb. 18. It just happened sooner than I wanted it to. I am going to miss the kids in the class and spending so much time with Josetta. Now that I am unemployed I can get things in order for the move. Besides that I am not sure what I am going to do with myself!
