Did you say 14 degrees?

I sit here holding my face in my hands wondering where to start? It's been over a month since I've blogged and BOY have there been some changes around these parts!

I guess the first thing to share is .... we're Hoosiers again! The boys and I are in Indiana for the time being. Without going into horrific and graphic detail - I got really sick AGAIN from my Crohn's disease. So sick that the teacher I worked with in Hawai'i came to my house and took me to the ER because I was in denial. Next thing you know I am admitted and my world slowly starts to turn upside down. Before Devil Doc left we had to establish a family care plan in case this type of situation arose. So, my dear friend Jai took over mommy duties with assistance from Susan and some ladies from our school. My mom hopped a plane to the land of Aloha and swooped in to save the day. We made the decision that when I was released from the hospital that the best thing would be to come back to the mainland to be near family for help with my healing as well as help with the boys.

So, that's where we are today. Pookins is in a new school with new friends and riding the BUS everyday!!! Magoo is at a new school and does NOT like the cold weather at all; we definitely created a beach bum there! Me? I'm trudging along. Trying to figure out all the logistics of our household goods, coordinating a PCS move from 1/2 way around the world, finding a foster parent for Nani and acclimating to our new surroundings.

We have been blessed with a family that God gave us who are able to provide and help in so many ways. And we have been blessed with an amazing family of friends, both military and civilian, who have stepped in to help when they weren't even asked. I can't imagine what would have happened to my babies if I had not had such a wonderful 'ohana in Hawai'i. Mahalo everyone who chipped in and kept my kids afloat during that week!

And to my old friends here in Indiana...it's cold here!! But, I feel the warmth you are sharing with my family and I truly appreciate it. I cannot wait to catch up with everyone, I have a feeling that this 5 months is going to fly by way too fast.

Things to come...weekend slumber party with some DEAR sorority sisters I haven't seen in ooooooh, 13 years?! Then, I trek to Los Angeles to pick up my car and have a visit with Charlie my first HS boyfriend *blush*. Hopefully we'll have orders by then and I can go back to Hawai'i and pack up our house. And FINALLY, Devil Doc should be making him way home. We are missing him something terrible and cannot wait to be there to see him get off that bus/plane.

I'm back to blogging so I hope you'll be reading.
