December 23rd Outing...Really

This was a seriously fantastic day! Scuba-diving, snorkeling, swimming: activities to make for a perfect day in Hawaii. It's just hard to believe we did all this two days before Christmas, but it's true!

I don't think it has been any big secret that I have struggled with this move. I loved Massachusetts passionately. Hawaii is beautiful, but so expensive; it makes it difficult to enjoy at times, which then makes me miss "home." Thankfully, God's beautiful creations (rocks, mountains, ocean) are free for all. The incredible surroundings give me and my family the chance to relax, play and just plain let loose. I was truly worry-free this day and even a bit happy to be living in such a paradise--what a blessing!








And some fun underwater pics:

I love the underwater pics. Post lots because there is NO WAY I would ever go under the ocean like that!

What fun pictures. If you feel like it is expensive there after living here, that is kind of scary! It must be pretty darn expensive!! It's so fun to enjoy paradise vicariously through you guys! How is school for the boys? How is HS in particular? Hope you had a great holiday, we miss you guys! Oh, and thanks for your Christmas card, I am still going to try to get some New Year's cards out!
