Sorry everyone! I can't get my body or brain adjusted to the time difference. I feel sleepy by 5:30 here and I don't want to do anything. But as of yesterday, I have been back in Hawaii for a week. Time seems to be going very slow or fast? I'm not sure because it seems like I've been here longer than a week. Here are a few updates:

Today I had a job interview at a child development center. I think the interview went well, but I wonder if I'm under or overqualified for a job working with such little kiddos.

Yesterday, we sat on the deck under the nice warm sun and played scrabble. I lost. That's all I have to say about that. But I feel half bad being in such beautiful weather while our families are experiencing freezing temperatures right now.

It seems as if Andy is having a lot of good luck at the moment. On Friday night we met up with some friends and went bowling. Andy got 7 strikes in the first game! His score ended up being a 188. The next 2 games after that, he barely got over hundred...but I am proud of him for getting 7 strikes. The only thing Andy isn't doing very well with right now is his Call of Duty game. It's an ugly sight sometimes.

It's hard to see, but on the first name on the right is Andy. That's a picture after getting his 4th strike in a row.

Oh yeah, Andy and I went to the movies last night and what in the parking lot? Chickens!

Pictures in case you need proof.

One last note...two different families have invited us over to eat with them on Christmas. It's so nice that people are opening up their homes to us. We have yet to really figure out what we're doing. I think it would be kind of neat to make a dinner here for us. But being with friends is always a really wonderful thing when family is so far away.

I hope everyone is keeping warm! Drink some hot chocolate for me (I still drink it here even though we have warm weather).
