In Hawaii!

I am not sure when the last time I blogged was and I don't even have a reason to be blogging right now.  I should be cleaning up my house.  We have been in Hawaii since July 19th.  We were staying in a hotel down in Waikiki.  Our truck was here already so we had someone take us to pick it up the second day.  It was so nice already having our vehicle.  The hotel was awesome.  It is the same hotel that is in the opening for the old Hawaii 5-0 show.  It is called the Ilikai.  We could see the beach from our lanai, it has a gorgeous view.  The only bad thing was that we are going to be living on Kaneohe Bay which is pretty far from Waikiki.  It was a long 9 days driving back and forth to look for houses on the Windward side and then head back to Waikiki at night.  Needless to say we were all pretty stressed out.  It was a hard transition to get to Hawaii and then more instability.  But God showed up in a bunch of little ways to let us know that He was always there.  We actually got a house that is part of a church property.  It is the house for the pastor.  The church does not have a pastor at this time so the house was available.  It was a God thing, let me tell you!  So we signed a three month lease and decided to have our house stuff delivered so that we didn't have to buy a ton of stuff for only a few months (the house is furnished!).  So now we are here living in Kailua which is a little town right outside of the base.  Jay started 7th grade and Ellie is in Kindergarten.  They both like school, thank God.  Ricardo works on Camp Smith and is adjusting to being the Gunny in charge of the entire shop.  As for Isabel and I, we hang out all day, go for walks and try our best to clean up before the family gets home.  It is pretty hard getting things done since she learned how to low crawl  a few weeks ago.  Now she gets into everything and has even eaten a piece of a magazine!!  We just heard from the housing office that a house will be available to us on October 25.  That is amazing because our lease is up on October 31st!  God is always taking care of us.  We are so blessed!
Sorry I haven't posted any pics.  I can't seem to find my camera cord, I think I left it in Texas!  So I have to wait til I get it and then I will post like a thousand pics from our busy summer.  Until then my friends! :)
