A life filled with Aloha

It is time for us to return home. Time to feel the sun on our skin and smell the ginger in the air. It is time for us to stop wishing we were there and just be there.

On Thursday, Boy Wendall and I will head to Oahu. Elder Wendall has been there for two weeks, getting everything ready for us. In a truly spectacular fashion he has found a car and a house, meaning that we will spend only one night in a hotel before we move into our new home. We won’t have furniture for the first month, but we will have our own roof, and plenty of space.

Our cats will spend a few days in a kennel so we can have everything ready for them at the house. We have not yet told them that they will be kenneled, but they are well aware that a trip is in the near future. The travel crates and suitcases are the closest things we have to furniture at the moment, so they are impossible to ignore.

Virginia has been a lovely place to call home this past year. We are so grateful for the chance to explore the East Coast and to visit so many people. If we did not get the chance to see you this year, we are sorry, and we invite you to visit us in Hawaii. We do not plan on coming back to the Mainland for at least a year, and our guest room fills up fast, so start planning your trips soon! I can already tell you that July 2009, Holiday 2009-2010, and July 2010 are booked.

See you on the beach!
Quijana and the Wendalls
