Mililani = Home!

First of all, THANK YOU, to all of our friends and family who have been such a huge support in this giant relocation! We ARE in Hawaii now for 24 hours. A bit surreal knowing we don't have a scheduled trip (home) back! Here we are, in an almost empty home, showered, tired, little girl passed out on the aerobed, awaiting our household goods to come tomorrow! SOOO exciting.

The plane ride went well. Our little one did great for such a long day. She was a bit fussy (to be expected) on the last leg of the trip from Phoenix to Honolulu (it was her bedtime, maybe she was saying "geez Mom couldn't you have scheduled the flight before my bedtime"..lol). Needless to say, after showers and ordering a pizza, we were asleep before 8:30pm (2:30am EST). We awoke at 3am the day before to get ready for our flight out of Syracuse, so being up for almost 24 hours hit us pretty hard.

Today has been great! We met a handful of neighbors, all completely sweet and offering any help we might need. Later in the evening one neighbor knocked on our door to see if we needed a pack--n-play to use before our belongings arrive tomorrow! :)

I think we hit up every Target, Wal-Mart, Kmart close to us today. We were price checking (anyone who knows me is NOT surprised at this). We signed up for Costco membership, and they were able to find our account from VA (5 years ago!!) and let us renew! GREAT. While we were making our last trip to get a few more items needed for the night, a friend my cousin connected me with called and surprised us with a homemade cooked meal (you can see the pic below). She and her husband and 2 babies live VERY close by, so we were able to meet them (finally after emailing for the past month or so) and get a lovely homemade cooked meal for our first night in Hawaii. THANKS

Keep looking for posts, they will get more interesting, I promise. For now, just now that you can find SPAM in every market (an entire facing in the Target food aisle), the people of Hawaii (everywhere we go) have just been so NICE, every place we turn to, and of course, they LOVE our little munchkin!

Good Night!
Love Chris, Naomi and Greta
