Halloween Eve 2008

These are from last night in Kapalua - Kumalani Church puts on a Fall/ Halloween Fair every year. It was fun and seemed the whole town was there. It was pretty cool, such a small town feel where you know everyone. We had a blast despite the rain and a scary bounce house incident (Auntie Sarah had to go in and save Cam's friend from the bigger kids in a wet bounce house)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!!!

(my camera is a little messed up, but you get the idea ;))

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

My little wahine is a star!

What a difference a day makes

We headed up to upcountry to go for a ride on Monday. Greg was sick, not feeling well so he was home but wanted to get out of the house. He actually came and found me on my walk, picked up me and the kids and off for a drive we went. KInda random, but I think it was meant to happen.

We headed up to the house we were looking to rent. While there we stopped by a restaurant that I was hoping I could perhaps get a job at, since I'd have to quit my current job on the West side. The restaurant was dead. Maybe 10 people were present. My stomach sorta dropped right about then.

All of a sudden I thought to myself...are we doing the right thing? Cam is in a great school, loves it. I love my job and it should be getting busy with the holidays coming - it's the number one restaurant on the island...I'm lucky to have it, do I want to quit? NO! Greg would have to commute and I think that would get old - now he can come home for lunch, just to stop by to say hi, it's great.

So, I sorta freaked out the next day thinking about it all. I was having anxiety and decided to tell Greg that I do not want to move. This is nuts, if you know me and know how much I hate my house - my fixer upper of a house. But now we are fixing it up. It's getting nicer, it has our touch on it. Now we do have friends in the area, we are getting to know people. I have a good friend here now, Paula and I'd hate to lose touch with her. I am not ready to start over again. Not now.

I still think of upcountry as a goal but I believe that for now, it's just that and we will revisit in in the future. For now, my grass is still green on this side! Phew, I feel better!
