Time for announcements...

Well, we have some news...we are moving back to Colorado! We have been given a great business opportunity (which I will share more about after everything is finalized) that we just can't say no to! We leave this Saturday night and will be arriving in Denver on Sunday morning (21st)...just in time for an "old" friends' wedding! I (Kamma) am still working this week, through Thursday when school is out for winter break, and Michael is hurriedly trying to finish the condo remodel upstairs, all this amidst trying to get everything packed or sold or thrown away! Needless to say, with a little bug going around in the classroom and all this added stress, I have come down with a bit of a cold. I'm chuggin' the EmergenC, though, and definitely feel like I've caught it before it's too bad.

We're feeling a lot of mixed emotions right now; we feel like we've truly found a second home here. We've made some great friends, and have really settled into "island life." The mom's at the daycare gave me a handmade book today at our Christmas party and I almost lost it...beautiful pictures of them and their babies and loving sentiments to me...it's always hard to leave a place you love.

We're also wanting to do as many of the things we've loved here as we can before we go, and visit some of our favorite places. Luckily while Luke was here we got to do some of that, but we still have a couple things on our list....hopefully we'll be able to fit everything in!

Will all that's going on, I may not be posting for a bit, but come back and check, cause you never know with me! I've taken a lot of great pictures at work that last few days that I'm itching to share. Love to you all!

Some pics of our Turkey Day...

Michael's brother Luke came out last Thursday to help finish remodeling. Here are some pictures of their work tiling the lanai...

They went surfing on Saturday...

We got to got to a Christmas Festival in Holualoa Saturday night. So much fun! Businesses had booths set up selling or giving away hot drinks and food, people selling things, and live music stations were set up along the way. There was even a pop-up tent with Santa. We ate dinner at a restaurant we'd been wanting to try, and just had a great time overall!!!
