July

• This month (Summer) has been filled with beach days. We literally go to the beach every day not only to entertain and get the girls tired, but because I am so dang hot that I need to regulate my temperature and, therefore, go to the beach.
• 4th (Friday)-receiver awesome news that Jason's and I have been awarded four first scholarship for next year Kua'ana tuition waiver.  We then enjoyed a fun day with cousins at bath tub beach with a kayak and boards. Daddy had to work. Then ended the night watching the beautiful fireworks at turtle bay.

• 5th (Saturday) We received notice that both Jason and I have been awarded our 'Imi Na'auao Merit Based Scholarship for the 2014-2015 School year.  We also received our Kua'ana Tuition Waiver Scholarships. 
• 9th (Wednesday) Went to the Aquarium with Tutu
• 12th (Saturday) Malie Perry's Grad party in Mililani.  We found out that we have to move by September 1st! Not the best timing for the news, but we know there's a reason and the Lord will look after us.  We notified anyone and everyone to keep an eye out for us. Since we're due in August and start school, we're trying to find something so that we can move before September and have everything ready and set up before baby gets here, either a 1 or 2 bedroom.
• 18th (Friday) The Peaua's arrived!!! They've moved from Las Vegas to live here for good. They'll be staying with Mom in Mililani until the end of the year. Then, they plan to buy a house here in Hawaii. It's been 14 years since she's lived here in Hawaii, but she's here for good and will be teaching PE at Kamehameha Schools. 
• 19th (Saturday) Kaka wedding reception at BYUH ballroom. We enjoyed listening to Kyla play music, staying in the AC since it's been rediculously hot and humid here for the past few weeks.
• 22nd (Tuesday) We received confirmation that we can move into at 2 bedroom apartment in Hau'ula on August 1st. Jason actually knew the landlord from his time working at Turtle Bay Golf. We were also able to move out knowing that we don't have to pay for August rent where we live now because the person who'll be taking our spot is ready to move in. Many blessings and we are very aware of how loved we are.  We are grateful for all of the prayers that have been said on our behalf. 
• 23rd (Wednesday) Jason and I went to Nanea's Orientation for Bright Beginning Learning Center where she will be going to Pre-School this year! We are so excited for her. She is going to love it and will be attending with some of her friends and cousins. I am particularly excited for her because I know that as her brother comes into this world, she is ready for more positive stimulation. She also received her Pauahi Keiki Scholarship which will pay for her schooling. 

• 27th (Sunday) Had Kyla and the girls over for our last Sunday dinner in our Laie house. Enjoyed a roast and a good catch up outside. 
• 31st (Thursday) Made our move from Laie to Hau'ula. Cousin Leon Smith showed up to help us move. We had his truck, ours and the van.  Only had to do 3 loads. Had a lunch break at 7-Brothers. Signed our contract with our landlord and made the $2400 deposit and August Rent.  Sharnade McGregor came to help us clean up the house. Katrina Johansen and the girls watch Nanea and Hali'a for us from 8am-4pm which allowed us to do all of this without being distracted. My VT companion, Laverne Kaluhiokalani was so generous and made us pork chops, rice, corn and ice cream for dinner. We are truly going to miss this place, but are excited for our next adventure in Hau'ula.  We just want to get everything set-up before baby comes, Nanea starts school and we start school too.
