Hawaii update

Wow, this has been a BUSY month. Dan's been in Hawaii much of the time. The house needed a lot of work to get ready for sale (painting, cleaning, packing, etc). The work is nearly done and the house is officially on the market.

We've got a house under contract in Hawaii. We're going through all the inspections now, so assuming we can come to agreement on all the inspection items, the middle of July we should have a house in Hawaii.

Here is a link to some pictures of the house:

It is a little bit bigger than our house now (maybe 100sqft or so) but there are no basements in HI, so we've been cleaning out lots of stuff. It's a three bedroom house, but we got bunk beds for the boys so we can make good use of the guest bedroom! It also has a very big yard by Hawaii standards, so the boys will have lots of room to run around in the back and ride their bikes in the cul-de-sac.

Aloha!

Well a lot of people know our news already, but it's official - we're moving to Hawaii. We've signed all the paperwork and Dan did some househunting on his last trip over there. We put in a contract on a house today, so we'll see what happens. We've got a list of four houses we like, so we'll see which one we end up with.

Back here I've been throwing stuff out and cleaning like crazy. We interviewed two realtors last weekend to sell our house and right now we're waiting to hear back on reports they had to submit to the relocation company. So soon we'll have our realtor lined up here. We want to have the house on the market by the end of June. We are targeting moving at the end of July.

So things have been busy. I'll post more soon on our plans...
