A Long and Winding Road

After Matt and I signed out of both of our jobs for summer and the last day at each of our current jobs, we went to hike Kaena Point before we picked up the kids.  We realized how much we miss our furlough Friday date days!

The end of this school year marked many chages and is pointing us in new directions.  Matt had his last day of teaching 8th graders and I am leaving the district office, which I have been at for 3 years and we FINALLY closed on the the house.  We hiked along the ocean and we thought about the looooong house process, leaving the Waianae Coast- for the most part and looked forward to the summer and all the things we want to do with the kids in Hawaii and Pennsylvania.  There is a sense of freedom that we both feel not being tied to the house and we are looking forward to enjoying that until it is time to decide on our next steps.

There are usually monk seals at the point and as we walked up to them Matt said, I want to be a monk seal.  They get to lay around all day in Hawaii and it is cute to be fat!"  Classic!
