Ringing in the New Year with a luau followed by a huge fireworks display on Waikiki.
Apparently New Year’s Eve is ridiculous here. More than one “local” has told us that there is so much smoke from people setting off fireworks that the island looks like it’s on fire.
Can’t wait!

Aloha!
When we left Wisconsin yesterday morning it was 9 degrees. When we landed in Hawaii it was 90.
We are eating breakfast outdoors at 7am and it’s gorgeous out.

Me: Did you see I changed my desktop [to a picture of Aaron Rodgers]?
Josh: Yes... (rolls eyes)
Me: Well he sort of looks like you!
Josh: How?
Me: You both have blue eyes...
Josh: Oh! Oh! So I look like him just because we have blue eyes...
Me: I wasn't done!
Josh: ...Santa has blue eyes. Does that mean I look like Santa, too?
Me: You didn't let me finish! You both have that "I forgot to shave this week" scruffy beard thing going that I love so much and you both have high cheek bones, too. Besides, Santa doesn't have blue eyes. His eyes are made of coal.
Josh: ......
Me: Oh wait. That's Frosty the Snowman, isn't it.

Jack went around the house and pointed to each Santa decoration and shouted, “Mama!” Apparently in his eyes I’m a fat, old, bearded man.
Two weeks from today I will be basking in the sun...

I’m irritated that Altell is now Verizon. All of the menu options have changed. So when I press “5” to delete out of habit, I have to listen to a whole bunch of bull shit information about the message that I was trying to get rid of.
Dan LaFevour comes into tonight’s game as the Mid-American Conference’s all-time leading passer and he needs just one touchdown to become the NCAA’s all-time leader in scores. During his career, LeFevour has thrown for 99 touchdowns and rushed for 46, with 14 of those rushing touchdowns occuring this season. LeFevour ranks third in NCAA history in total offense (15,140 yards) and is the only...

Aaron,
My jersey got delivered today. On your birthday. It’s meant to be.

So, am I being too optimistic, is she being too pessimistic, or what?
I’m reblogging because the answer box won’t let me type as long of an answer I want to give.
I say that if you want to stay where you are at then do it. It makes me sick that my husband and I are paying $650 a month for an apartment when we could be paying less than that each month on a mortage...
