First Blog Post!!

Well here it is, my first blog post.   Inspired by my sister-in-law Stephanies blog Puddles of Sunshine I had thought it would be fun to start a blog.  Since they live in Alaska her blog keeps us up to date on their life and the milestones that our nephew is going through.  I had mentioned it would be fun to start a blog but felt that at the time I didn't really have much to say or really didn't know what I would write about.

 In October of 2012 my husband took the first step in what is now a life changing event for us.  He took the written test for the honolulu Police Dept He passed the test and then we waited for what seemed like forever.  We finally got news that he would be continuing to the next step and the next.  Stephanie suggested that if he was accepted into the academy then I should start my blog...  Well here we are and my blog has started, so you guessed correctly, on 8/29 he was notified that he had been accepted into the 176th recruit class.  I think the blog will allow our family and friends to follow our journey from Washington to Hawaii.  This will be a huge move for our family. 

 

 

It has been almost two weeks.  We have started getting things ready, calling to get quotes for storage and shipping. We have a little over a month to pack up 15 years of crap! We are selling what we can and only shipping the items that are necessary. What made this move become super real is that we sold my truck a week ago.  A truck we have had for 11 years... I already Miss it!!
