Two Weeks Left

It's official.  We are leaving paradise and moving back to the mainland.  We have been planning for this to happen- selling the house, renting for the last year etc. but the reality of it is still not quite settling in.  We are excited but also know that it will certainly come with challenges.

Matt was offered a job at High Tech High in San Diego.  He will be teaching the 9th grade math and physics line and we just found out that they had been looking for 6 months to fill the position with hundreds of applicants and Matt got the job.  We are so proud of him and looking forward to the next chapter in our lives. 

I could go on for years about what we will miss in Hawaii, but mostly it is our friends and our lifestyle that can never be replicated.  We have been so fortunate to have an amazing ohana in the Islands but we know that, for our family, moving to San Diego is the right thing to do.  There are also so many conveniences and opportunities and we can't wait to explore San Diego with our kids and enjoy a new place.  First on the list: Hanging out with family, Padres game, road trips, seeing the Ducotes in August! and so much more!  Oh yeah, and hopefully me getting a job is somewhere in there!?

In the meantime, we are enjoying our guests (my parents just left and the Rossellos are here now) and the island, going back to work for 2 weeks and packing up some boxes to ship and basically selling everything we own:).  Wish us luck!
