Yes, our sofa has FLEAS.

Dearest loyal blog followers,

We sincerely apologize for the past week or so with no posts. It's been craaaaaazy! We have a new home, new friends, and new jobs, well kind-of.

Instead of recapping each day moment by moment, we decided it would be beneficial to make the most of your time and our time just including the highlights.

One week ago we arrived at the airport greeting Kendra, Brendan, and Will with Aloha spirit. They loved it, and soon enough we made the trek to our new place. Upon opening the door we began to sweat, and in fact we haven't stopped sweating to this day. The new kids decided it would be in their best interest to begin job searching immediately, and 2 days later they have jobs, but Will has decided to play hard to get, and skips job interviews to go camping. Needless to say, he is still looking. 

Sidenote: We made a few extra friends!!!!!!! Shout out to Luke from Knoxville, TN and Darla, well she is from Hawaii, and her hips don't lie.

Well, to begin our adventures we started out with a trip to Don Quijote. It was an experience and as we thought of it to be a grocery store it was actually an asian supermarket. We proceeded our trek to the bus with one million groceries in hand (including a watermelon). 

Twenty bananas, a coconut, and a pummelo were found on Kahala Beach by Will and Brendan. We can always count on them for providing the food for the family. They'll even go to the top of a tree to pick us the freshest fruit. Julia found a new fruit in the ocean called a pummelo, we renamed it a seatrus -get it- citrus.

The next day we headed to the beach once again, however, our plans were delayed once we spotted a beautiful sofa on the side of the road. Some kind person knew that we were in need, and decided to leave theirs in their pile of trash along with a chair and a mattress. We rolled all of them down the 4 blocks to our house and now we have furniture, and Will has a bed, with fleas. After a long hot day of rearranging furniture we headed to China town with hopes of seeing Amos Lee in Concert. Well, we didn't quite make it into the show, but instead we had a personal show on the sidewalk with the other people that didn't get into the show. Amos Lee, what a cool guy!

**As we sit and type this blog, Lindsey is killing fleas on Brendan that have escaped from our sofa. SICK.

After church on Sunday we headed to the North Shore, and introduced Will, Brendan, and Kendra to Acai Bowls and Pipeline Beach. They loved both, and we had a splendid day in the sun!

Yesterday (Monday) was quite a long day, and at approximately 10 pm we decided to catch the 10:30 bus to Waimanalo Bay, and camp out on the beach. We weren't quite sure where the bus went, and after asking the bus driver for some help he brought us to the beach and we walked to find a spot. After passing some local folks already camping out, we decided to take a stroll down the beach to find a good spot. We found what seemed to be a good spot, and set up camp! Some of us slept, and some of us kept watch of the flashlights down the beach gradually moving towards us. They seemed to be searching for something, and I guess that now is a good time to mention that camping is illegal on the beach. Oops must have been a cop. They gradually got too close for comfort and we peaced out to the 7-11 a few miles down the road. After we had a late night/morning snack we were soon greeted by a friendly fellow named William. Let's just say that an hour later we had said 3 words and he gave us a lot of great advice. By that time the sun was rising and we made our way back to the beach to watch it. It was SO incredible and gorgeous to watch. After the sun rose we threw up a couple of hammocks in the greatest "bungalow" tree that there ever was. We passed out for a few hours, and then, 7 hours later Will is currently the color of hmm.. Cheerwine?

Ok we will keep y'all updated, this is only the beginning of many great adventures!

Much Love from the roomates,

Wendy, Hulia, KeEEG, Wilma, Brenda
