hawai'i...
... is the bomb.
psst. can i fill you in on a secret? rob and i have been looking at homes here since we left last september. guess what? were talking to a lender today to see if its possible to move! holy crap... is this really happening? if so, my life would make a complete 360° degree turn. im kind of scared, yet more excited than ever. if the scenery couldnt talk me into moving alone- than the fresh juicy mangos sure as hell would, ha!
eeeeep!
p.s. i love sesame street. grover is my favorite. i had a grover doll when i was a little kid- his shirt said "I ♥ my mom"
[HOPEFULLY!] OUR NEW HOME
today was a seriously serious day. went through 13 pages of paperwork and put our very first offer (as a married couple) on a house--- IN KAILUA KONA HAWAII!!!! im dead serious. nobody knows (okay maybe 2 people??) so please people... hush hush...
here's the tour...
coming up the stairs from the front door...
(stairway is on the left) the entry to the kitchen and bedrooms...
kitchen!
view from the kitchen- hell yes. (ocean anyone?)
living/dining room (back yard is to the left)...
1/8th of the guestroom (its friggen huge!)
view of the balcony off of the guest bedroom.
balcony off of guestroom/kitchen a.k.a. "lanai" (ocean view to the left)
frida overlooking the potty in the 2nd bathroom- i swear it was a sign...
rad sink/counter top in the 2nd bathroom.
master bedroom (totally not my style AT ALL, but rad nonetheless) the little space behind the bed is kind of like an office!
one of the master closets..
master bathroom sink (brown?! blahh! only bad part.)
little office nook (this may be the "kali area")
second master closet.
possibly change this around with a vanity and some dolls. you know how i roll.
master door to lanai. so breezy and perfect. ahhh.
aw whaddup backyard?
view from the backyard into the house...
last but not least... my HUBBY and i!
i am so damn lucky. thank you god. thank you rob. i dont know what else to say. i cried a lot today.
fun facts:
-hawaii has 10 of 12 climates in the entire world (the only two missing are arctic and saharan... i can do without those, ha)
-hawaii is the healthiest state in the nation
-geckos are EVERYWHERE
-hawaii is [almost] halfway between california and japan! WOO HOO!
-hawaii is the southern most state of the u.s. (yes even more southern than florida)
-hawaii is continuously growing. actually lo'ihi is going to be the next to join the chain (as soon as it surfaces which could take anywhere from 30-10,000 years- its about a mile below sea level. it will also replace the area the big island currently sits- we will just scoot over a bit just like the other islands did...)
-the temperature is about 80° 365 days a year- sweet
-last but not least... mangos grow fresh everywhere. im going to go insane and turn into a mango people!
more to come...
