Aloha!

We are finally in Hawai'i!! We love it here! It is so beautiful! The first few days here, we would wake up and have to remind ourselves that we actually live here! We live in a cute "cottage" behind a family's house in Kahuku. We are a 3 minute drive away from the BYU Hawaii campus. We have been so blessed since we got here. We both love our place, and we both got jobs at the horse ranch down the street guiding trail rides and helping out around there. We also found a car! It is a 1997 Mazda Protege...so styling! (and to make it better, its bright blue!) So, within a week we were all set for school to start last week.

School is awesome too. The classes are so small, and the campus is gorgeous. The beach is a block away. I don't think school can get better than that! My favorite class is my Hawaiian language class, and Danny's favorite is his life guarding class that we take together. And we both love our Celestial marriage class! When we aren't at school have been hanging out with Danny's good friend from the MTC and his wife and through them we have meet a lot of awesome people! We swam out to China Mans hat and hiked to the top! Danny and I have been out to Sharks Cove a couple times to snorkel, and we have plans to go catch some wild chameleons and go swimming with dolphins at Electric Beach in the next few weeks!

Life here is so sweet. It is laid back, It is perfect weather, and I think we are beyond blessed to live and go to school here. I am so excited for our many adventures that are ahead!!
