Bittersweet...that is the only word that can really sum up how I am feeling about this. I am so excited to be in Hawaii! Ben keeps sending pictures and telling me how beautiful it is. I want to be there with him so badly. So ready to start my life again. I feel like it has just been placed on hold for 4 months. But...I am so sad to leave my friends and family.
Today is my day to finish up errands. Mom and Jonathan are coming to spend the day with us. We are going to take the van to get a tune-up. While it is getting serviced we are going to hit Wal-mart, Ulta, and get some lunch. Tonight is my last night with Nikki :( I hate good byes and I really don't want to say goodbye to her and Kendyl.
Tomorrow I will be packing everything into the van. It will be Blake's last day of school and I promised him that I would come eat with him. After school we are going to see Santa!!! Then having dinner with Chelsea and going to see the lights in downtown Fayetteville. We will stay the night at Ken and Cathy's house.
Friday morning we will load up the van and had to Dallas. Linda and Ken are going to follow us down to help with all the luggage and the boys. I have to drop the van off to be shipped to Hawaii. We will find something fun to do in Dallas for the night. I am so thankful to Linda and Ken both for making the trip with me.
Saturday morning at 8am we board a plane for Hawaii!!! It will be a very long day. For Christmas the boys got tons of stuff for the plane. Maw and Papaw gave them DVD players so we should be set! Thanks!
In Hawaii...Ben is getting us into temporary housing. He found out yesterday that we could be on the waiting list for a house for 6 months! Give or take! He already bought a vehicle over there. He found a nice trailblazer and seems to really like it. My first order of business will be to find a Christmas tree for the boys. If we are having Christmas in a hotel, we at least need a tree!!!
I will try to update as much as possible. I linked my phone to my blog. As long as it works I should be able to update regularly. I will post pics soon too! Love you all!
Good luck, Laura! Hawaii will be an awesome experience for the whole family! I hope your housing goes quicker, but we all know how military housing is. Be safe, and enjoy your last few days in AR.
