What do you do when....

nothing seems to be going your way?
Move back to Hawaii, of course! As of January, Sam and I will say aloha to Utah and ALOHA to Hawaii.
Sam and I couldn't have enjoyed our time in Ogden more. However, since graduation and moving to Provo, it seems like our life has been misplaced. I have never believed in bad luck, until this last year. HOWEVER, the bad luck was not all bad. It brought added strength to my faith, my marriage, and my respect for Job :)
Sam's job not working out meant that he began exploring all options, one of them being Edward Jones. After a few months of interviews and paperwork, he has been hired on as a financial adviser. His office will be in Mililani, Hawaii. It's been hard to stop smiling since we heard the news:)
Things have slowly been falling into place. Like Sam's thousand dollar mountain bike was stolen, so we didn't have to worry about shipping it! And our car was rear ended by someone without insurance, who we threatened into buying it rather than taking them to court! We don't know where we will live or where I will work or any of the details, but we feel happy and peaceful and just plain blessed to be able to move back to Hawaii.
Scraping ice of the car windshield isn't nearly so bad when permanent 80 degrees, sunshine, and ocean are right around the corner!

That is so awesome! I'm so excited for you guys. We don't see you as it is, but it's nice to have the chance, so we'll miss you. I know what a blessing this is for you. All the best.

Wow! That is awesome news for you guys! (And we can visit you can't we? when we can afford tickets) We are going to try to come visit you this weekend if you will be around. I'll have AJ call Sam. We have to say Hi and Goodbye :) Love you guys.

You talked someone into buying the car they had bashed into? Wow, that's taking lemon and making a lemon slushie. I hope the next adventure in your life is less stressful.

Will you guys be stopping over in Susanville before you go? We'd love to see you!

So excited for you guys! I can't wait to visit! It's about time you guys relax in some 80 degree weather with a matsumoto!

on the one hand we're devastated, but on the other we're thrilled...because this is just another reason for us to go to Hawaii! We love you guys, and we're sooooo happy for you!

Umm yes! We will be taking you up on the offer to stay with you in Hawaii! So can you please move there already so we can visit?! How fun for you both. Live it up who gets to move to Hawaii with adult jobs (non military). Plus I'm jealous that you will get to go to church with men wearing ties and skirts. And the Temple! And the running on the beach! You go girl. And I hope you find a job and whip those chubby little Hawaiians into shape! :)
