We made it to Hawaii

Hello, again. Well, we made it to Hawaii after a very long day on November 7th. When we arrived we were in the guest house on Schofield Barracks Military Base for about two weeks. After much house hunting (I hate house hunting!!), we found a house for rent in Mililani. Mililani is in central Oahu. For those of you who have been here before, it is closer to the mauka (mountain) region and Schofield Barracks (SB). I am working on Wheeler Army Airfield, which is right next to SB.

When we got here we discovered that in Hawaii the winter months are the rainy season. It has rained almost everyday since we arrived here. Some days its light rain but other days it has been kind of heavy. We had some major flooding here after a couple days of strong storms. We didn't have any problems where we live, but other areas were not so lucky. We also survived our first island-wide blackout. I'm sure you heard about it. It was on the news nationwide.

Overall, we're doing well. We are just getting settled into our new home and new location. The girls are doing very well at their new school and have been keeping their grades up. On the weekends we try to make time to find our way around the island and discover what our new home has to offer.

I will post more information soon to catch you up on what has been going on since we arrived in Hawaii in November. I will also post some pictures of the area and the family. Hawaii is definitely very picturesque!!
