Off Roading, Part 1

It is Saturday morning.
We leave the house at 0700 hours, headed for the East side of the island, Kualoa Ranch. The ranch views are incredible and a handful of movies have been filmed here including Jurrasic Park, Pearl Harbor, and 50 First Dates. At 0900 hours we jump on some ATVs for a full tour of the ranch and movie sights, particularly where Jurrasic Park was filmed.



Then we jumped in this Swiss Army Vehicle (6 wheel off roading jeep that can go anywhere) to tour the other side of the ranch.



After driving ATVs and bouncing around in the back of the 6x, we both had a layer of dirt everywhere. We thought it best to go jump in the ocean and wash off. So we continued our journey around the island towards North Shore and jumped in at Sunset Beach, checking the swell at Pipeline (it was really flat, no worries). 

Nick's pictures are incredible!

All of our belongings arrived this morning! We have it all! Big truck, three huge crates and a team of 5 showed up on the doorstep at 8:45 AM this morning. They must have thought I was weird - as each item came through the door I got the hugest smile! Like "oh, there is the table from the Hargroves...and there are the couches...boxes of wedding gifts I have not opened yet!..." you get the idea. Here is our bedroom before... and after! Living room before... And after! Kitchen before... And After!! The movers only took one hour to get it all into the house. The first thing I did when they left? Sat down on the couch in the living room. I just remember sitting on them at the parent-Dellar's house and all the fun times I have had at their house; the BBQs, the prayer nights and Bible studies, cuddling up on them when Nick was gone (in Kona, Cape May, Virginia, Honolulu). And NOW I am sitting on them in our house here! I just couldn't believe it. THEN the thought entered my...

So! This weekend was pretty full with unpacking all our fun things. It is so incredible how loved I have felt the last few days; having a couch to cuddle up on, real plates and real utensils to eat with, candles galore, a kitchen table and chairs!! (not to mention all the appliances that I got and am dying to use!) I just love being home now! Here is me with my new amazing tea pot standing in one of the first open boxes. Here are our cups, plates and mugs sitting on our kitchen table - they are just beautiful! Here was my first dinner on our real plates!   Sunday I went to church and sat by the other two Coastie wives whose husbands are on the Jarvis. I came home and unpacked a few more boxes, then decided to end the afternoon with a run by the beach + jump in the water and layout session :) As the empty boxes get pushed closer to the door, I will take some more shots of the house and how it is coming together!
