Hi family and friends-
First, I would like to say sorry for not updating this since Christmas time---it's been really crazy. Well, yes we are finally here in Millington, TN. The first words that come to mind are COLD, COLD, COLD! It sure is alot different than Hawaii but we are getting use to things. We had about three inches of snow the beginning of March and poor Hannah didn't like it one bit. We would say "Hannah let's go out and go potty", and she would just start shaking all over. (Poor girl.....) We have to get her a doggie coat to keep her nice and warm. What a cultural shock for everyone. We do miss all of our friends and Johnna Bona back in Hawaii---Aloha guys!
We love our new home and we are all unpacked and settled in. Michael's got the upstairs gameroom for his room and he thinks that's so cool because the big TV is upstairs in his room. Abbey is down stairs with us but on the other end of the house. We painted her room a really cool- High School Musical Theme! It's alot of pink and purple with all kinds of stars- it's really cool. The kids are loving thier new school Lucy Elementary -they get to pick from three choices of what they want to eat for lunch everyday. (They just think that's wonderful.) Michael's teacher is Mr. Mickinez and he is really enjoying his class- he's a great teacher. Abbey is doing good too, her teacher is really nice and she is making new friends. Her first priority was to race all the boys in her class to see who she could beat. (Got to love her......)www.SCSK12.org/SCS/elementary/lucy/default.htm
We have a new addition to our family---it's a puppy! I know what were we thinking!!! She is a cutie though. Her name is Mia and she is a yellow lab (we love her......) now Hannah on the other hand does not know what to think of her just yet- but I hope after some time they will become the best of friends. We had to leave our cat "Roxy" back in Hawaii with our good friends Robin and Jeff. So I guess to make it up to the kids we though a puppy would be a good idea-yeah right! (What a Sucker....)
Kenny has been very busy with his new job but he is really enjoying it and of course we are happy that he will be around alot more now that he is not flying. He is also so close to the house- I think it takes him five minutes to get to back and forth from work. I have also started back to work as well. I am the new assistant director for Bright Ideas Preschool and Enrichment Center in Bartlett. It's about 16 miles from the house so it's not to far. It's a whole lot different than teaching but I like the Director that I work with her husband is retired Navy so we have alot in common. The down side of this job is that I worked 45 hours this week. (blah, I have never been so tired in my life.) I do enjoy it alot and my family is being very supportive so that is a big plus.
Johnna is doing good back in Hawaii---We miss her greatly but she is doing her thing and we think that's GREAT. She finished her first CDA class and now is taking her second.
Take care-
