Moving to Hawaii

So, I know I've been absolutely terrible about updating our blog. There isn't much excuse except that you stay fairly busy with two toddlers and no husband :). You all know that James redeployed in May, and we are extremely happy to have him home with us. The summer has been great with all of the traveling that we were able to do. We've visited all of our family in NC a couple of times, and James and I were able to get away to Charleston for a couple of days. We're now busy getting ready for our big move to Hawaii! The movers come to pack most of our goods on August 27th & 28th, we ship the car soon after, ship the cats soon after that, send the rest of our things on September 3rd, James has his Change of Command ceremony on the 5th, and we fly to Honolulu on the 8th. It is going to be a whirlwind for the next 3 weeks! I'm scrambling to clear out any excess that we've accumulated over the 3 1/2 years that we've been at Benning. And I'm desperately trying to make this move as organized as possible. It's becoming quite the challenge :). We're very excited to see what island life is like, and anxious to see what kind of house we'll get. I promise that I will keep you all updated through our blog with lots of pictures and stories about life overseas. Our internet will be shut off on the 3rd, and I don't know how long it will be until we have a home and internet connection over there, so it may be a while until you hear from us again. Please stay in touch and keep us in your thoughts!
Love,
Brandi
