We made it!!

To make a very LONG and painful story short, we did make it to Honolulu last night around 6:30pm. United was able to get us on a Delta flight through LAX so we would not have to spend the night in Phoenix. Let's just say, the trip is not one that I want to repeat anytime in the near future, but it could have been SO much worse, so I will refrain from complaining. Keaton did so well and slept 2 hours on the first flight and 3 hours on the second. Benadryl and suckers were my 2 lifesavers!!

We spent most of this morning driving around trying to get a "feel" for the island since we have to find a place to live in the next week or so and still have not even narrowed down the area of the island that we want to live yet. God graciously provided us with some new friends of friends that have a garage apartment that they are letting us stay in for FREE until we find a place of our own. They even have a little boy around Keaton's age. He and Keaton are already fast friends. God is so good! Here's some pics that I took out the window while we were driving around today. Breathtaking is the only word to describe it! Pictures definitely do not even come close! We just kept looking at each other all day saying, "We live here now?"

Please pray that God will give us wisdom where to look for a new home and that he will open up the perfect property for us that meets all our needs and fits our price range.

More later...
