Greetings from Hawaii!!

Hi! A couple pictures for your (late) Tuesday evening...the first was taken mid-coffee run the first morning...this is the beach that's just steps from our house...the second is "S Curves" which is a little bit of a walk...maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile each way...the kids and I did it this morning. It wasn't breaking today but apparently it's a pretty good little surf break.

Where to start? I don't even know how to get into this so some random thoughts:

1. It feels like we're on a nice vacation, not actually living here. Not sure how long that will last...
2. It's really really hot here...
3. 2 times hanging out on the beach, 2 sea turtles hanging out with us...
4. A sunset picnic at the park that fronts the beach last night...lovely as well...
5. There are lizards IN the house eek. I saw a big one go under the fridge. Luke has caught 2 baby ones upstairs over the past 2 days. Luckily the baby ones are super easy to catch and put outside...
6. I'm keeping my East coast clients and getting up to work at 5 AM. Which is going well. But I'm not used to the time difference...I had something yesterday that needed to be done end-of-day and at 10 AM my time I realized that meant in an hour!
7. It is sooooooo wonderful to be back with my husband. And he did such a good job getting things set up here. Lots left to get in order but the basics are all in place...
8. Neighbors we've met so far have been super nice...
9. There's some astroturf where part of our back porch (lanai in the local lingo) has rotted away...Jeff and I have been sitting out there after the kids go to bed, watching the stars...
10. I'm sleeping terribly. Sure it's just an adjustment thing...
11. Wandered down to the fish market, maybe a 10-minute walk for makings for dinner...we're having Ono...super psyched...
12. Loving living in a place again where you pull on a swimsuit every morning because you know at some point you're going to the beach...
13. My husband has already made the nicest group of friends...excited to build a social circle here...

Happy Tuesday!
