Aloha 'Oe

Aloha 'Oe Hawai'i nei...

A hui hou kakou malama pono.

We'll be back!

Finishing up

A couple more boxes to mail, a lot of deep cleaning, and we're ready to move halfway across the world to NYC.

Um, can I never move ever again please? I can't stand this constant de-junking, packing, and moving process. This will be the 5th time we've moved since we've been married. 5 too many if you ask me. The most depressing thought is that we're only going to be in NYC for 2 years and then we get to do it again!

I think its the cleaning that gets to me. There is one drawer in our kitchen that is housing 3+ giant momma roaches and I've been trying to gather non-existent courage to clean it for 4 days now. I think I'm going to pass that job along to Seth.

I've shipped most of our stuff home because Hawaiian Airlines will rob you blind if you try and take on your stuff as luggage. Oh and I just thought that I would tell you that Seth is never allowed to tell me I have too many shoes again---while all of my shoes fit into my carry on, he has golf clubs, and guitar, X-box, skateboard, and a TV to get home.

Carry-on full of shoes: free.

Mailing/checking in stuff: $.

Bottom line: I don't have that many shoes.

The Black Pearl...

...is currently in Kaneohe Bay for the Pirates of the Caribbean filming!

It would be SO awesome to watch them film!

Sadly, Johnny Depp wasn't hanging around. :(

Last day at PCC

Yesterday was my last day of work at the PCC. It was so sad! :(

I brought my camera to get some last memories of some of my favorite people!

I'm going to miss this job so much. I have a feeling that no other job will be as fun as this one was.

They even got me a little going away present!

( I am totally going to use that weaved fan! I hear its super humid in NYC right now...! I had one when I was in the Philippines and it seriously saved my life.)

My last day made me realize how much I'm going miss all of the friends that I have made in the last 5 years here. Its kind of scary to think that I have to start all over again in a place that I've never even been before. Why can't I just take all of my friends with me?!

My last day of yoga at TB was yesterday too. My long-time instructor had a special closing mantra for me, and asked everyone in the class to send good energy to me and my well being in NYC while we chanted. Then he told me that my yoga practice has gotten a lot better and is very beautiful. I felt like a young grasshopper all grown up! haha. That meant a lot to me because in class he's always telling me I'm crooked and that my belly is sticking out...if you've taken a class from him, you know what I mean...! All my little yogi buddies wished me well too. But seriously though, I felt so loved and I was so sad to think that I have to leave all of these wonderful people behind. And I'm sad that I have to find a new yoga studio and instructor. I've grown so attached to my routines here!

I'm getting mopey. Is that even a word? Its just hard for me to leave this life that I've built here. Every time I do something, I think to myself, "This is my last ______." and get all mopey. Friday is my last Zumba class with my friends, we'll see how I handle that. I'm not much of a crier, but I have a feeling that my last day on the island is going to be a hard one.

Anyway, one more week, then I'm off to start a new life, and hopefully make some new friends and yogi buddies.

[sigh]

Seinfeld, anyone?

And it's only about 6 min away from our NYC apartment via subway!
