I am finally so happy in Hawaii. I'm not bummed about being away from home at all now. For the past six weeks I have missed Texas very much. However, I'm really loving being away from Texas. I still miss the people, I'll always miss the people I love and care about. However, Texas itself, I could care less about now. I always thought Texas would be where I reside forever. Psh, not now!

I did a spinning class for the first time ever today. Terisa convinced me to go. It was SO painful! For those of you that don't know what a spinning class is, it is stationary bike riding. As a reward Terisa made me dinner, a wonderful salad! I ate like 4 giant plates full! I haven't had food so good the entire time I have been here. I really enjoy spending time at Terisa's house. Great food and great company. Tonight I played board games with the kiddo's and then had dinner with Terisa and we chatted for a few hours. It was so nice to just sit and talk. We have a lot in common, I like that. It just makes me happy to have a place on base that I can go to whenever I want and know that it will be like home. I don't want to leave in December. I wish with all of my heart that I could stay for a few more months or a year or a couple of years. I know it can't happen, but it would be so wonderful. I will just have to be thankful for the 3 1/2 months that I am getting!

Well, I've got a super early day tomorrow. I have to be in Kalaheo at 7am... Suck! Not that Kalaheo means anything to you guys. You don't even know what it is. Kalaheo is a town that is about 35-40 minutes away. So that means I must wake at 6am. I don't do mornings, anyone who knows me knows that I do NOT do mornings. Ugh, it will be fine. I just need to go to bed. I am going to eat some of the brownies Terisa made and then go to bed. Oh, also, she got me to drink organic 1% milk. Loved it!!! I'm totally going organic on milk from now on. It doesn't have the horrible smell that normal milk has. Yay! And it's good for you, woohoo!

Okay for real, I'm leaving now. Aloha!
