RETIRED and HOMELESS

By -

Billy is officially retired from the Air Force. He had a ceremony that had him retire from the Air Force...WOO HOO. Beautiful ceremony and he is the happiest guy in the world. He is so glad to be out of the Air Force. He loved it until about 3 years ago. He really did not like his job in Hawaii...although we both LOVE the area, we both really did not like our jobs and that can make you miserable no matter how beautiful the landscape.



Well, as you see the title tells you that we are no longer in our house on Hickam Air Force Base. We are now in a hotel on base called the Royal Alaka'i. We have a bed to sleep in and tv's to watch (the American dream right?) Comfort? We are actively looking for a house in Florida, and I am actively looking for a job!! Woo Hoo! :) I am sure I will find one, I just hope it is one I want to have. I want to teach little kids again, I really don't want the crazy middle schoolers anymore. I love my students but it is time to go back to little people again.

Bethanie's Last hula performance was Sunday night. Her last performance at Kuhio was last Thursday and she was good. She was wearing a white dress that took my breath away!





Wait until we see her when she gets older, very scary! The person at the mike in the background is her Kumu (teacher). She loves Bethanie and was very sad to see her go.

Bethanie is going to be looking for a Halau in Florida, she says she wants to continue with the Hula dancing. She is very good and so very graceful.


Branch is silly as ever and we have figured out a true talent of his. He has perfect pitch. He can hear a chord on guitar played by his teacher or the radio and tell you what it is. WOW!!! It makes Bethanie sick because she has to listen to the same part of a song over and over before she finally gets it! :)

Target Tool Caddy

This is my Target Tool Caddy made by Jetmax. I know Michaels, AC MOORE and Target all sell the same Jetmax cubes in various ways. Target is the only one I have seen with the tool caddy though. For the large cubes I need about 6 more to make my room complete! LOL... I only have 15 of them right now! LOL...Sad I know! :) Anyway, I want to get all the iris carts out of my room and into my classroom. I want to get my dies in the jetmax cubes because right now they are in the iris carts and the drawers are really hard to open and close! :) The tool caddy has four sides. Two picture sides that also have drawers. This smaller drawer has 3 compartments in it. I hold my carl shape blades in here and some fiskar refills. (That is how come I knew I was out of them when I went for them the other day, 3 scoring blades and 0 cutting blade cartridges..grrrrrr. Notice there is a photo in the side...it is not staying here I just put a photo in there so you could see where it goes! :) I really don

The  journaling is hard to read on the layout so here it is. I love you With all my heart What that means to me is I get to go to sleep with my best friend. When I laugh with you, it is not the same as with anyone else. When you look at me with such love, I sometimes feel I am not worthy of being loved so much. I know what it means to be truly loved. I know that I always have you with me, even when you are not by my side. I know that I am on your mind as much as you are on
