Hawaiian Arrival

Aloha!


I arrived in Honolulu Monday evening. My friends Steve, Marisol and their baby
 Natalia picked me up at the airport and we had dinner at the Ala Moana mall. Since then I have been checking in with all of the appropriate people and offices, which has kept me extremely busy! 
I have also been searching and searching for a home. The home that the Navy offered to us just wouldn't work for Zac and me, so we decided to decline and keep searching. This has been an incredibly frustrating house hunt thus far, so please say a little prayer for us! 
In third grade, we learned a fun song called "Hawaiian Rainbows" (which my sister and I can still sing for you, if you are ever int
erested). Every day that I have been here, there has been at least one beautiful rainbow in the sky. Here is a picture I took walking out of the Navy Lodge, where I am staying. These are such nice reminders that I am in Hawaii, and should be enjoying the beautiful scenery, rather than stressing out so much. 
Today I decided that I needed to take a break from worrying about housing, so Molly and I went to Lanikai beach. It was breezy, and a little chilly, but beautiful, never the less! This is my first visit to a Hawaiian beach, and I am so blessed to be able to have many more ahead. This is what I stared at all afternoon. 
Goodnight, and more to follow.
Love to all,
RAWE
