Joy School pool party, styrofoam anniversary, fun with cupboards and paints





Easter, fun with Daddy, 3 little monkeys jumping in bed




Life is Goooooood...

Aloha!!

Today in church they talked about enjoying life right now, not waiting for happiness in the future, and it made me think I love life. And I love every day of living it.

Kezia got to join the end of Joy school last month. She has been so happy to be with friends and doing something besides staying at home. Yea!! Next week will be her last week, so this week I am going to try to sign her up for something during the summer. She is also in a hula halau. She is the youngest one and trying to understand the steps, but she loves it. I sit in the back of the class and she frequently turns around and gives me a "I am having so much fun!" grin.

Ivy has discovered the joy of hiding in cupboards. She loves it when our friend Addy comes over every weekend. We switch off babysitting with her parents, and it works out great because the girls are like the 3 Amigas.

I have been working on the newest edition of the real estate game and was excited to resubmit it. I got a lot of input and made a lot of improvements and I think it is really good. Now I am back (after a year) to concentrating on the house: painting the kitchen and patching up places where the girls tore the paint of walls, curtains, pictures, organization, etc. We are so grateful to have a home, but we really want to move back to the North Shore. I have learned one principle for life, and that is that if you take care of what you have, your lot will improve, but not until that time. So I am getting our house in best order as I can so we can move.

Nate has been working on the stand-up surfing magazine. Almost every day I hear him say, "today it will be up and running." I guess the more he works on it the more gliches he finds. He went to a surf contest yesterday for pictures and came back redder than a tomato. We recently hired an assistant for the real estate business. It is so nice to divvy up the workload.

We just had our seventh anniversary! We went to Sam Choy's restaurant in town and walked around Waikiki and got a massage from a "street performer" massage guy. I think both of our backs cracked 15 times. On our actual anniversary, Nate said he was going to make a nice dinner. But things came up and left him with no time. He left to go get things for the dinner, and came back with styrofoam containers from a Chinese fast food place and a frozen cheesecake. We set up the candles and Perrier and Martinelli's anyway. It was pretty nice.
