We finally left Hawaii 3 weeks ago and are now living in Rexburg, ID with Adam's parents for the next 3 months. For the 3 years we lived in Hawaii, Adam had been in school and didn't have much time to do any sight-seeing. About a month before we moved off-island, he graduated and left his job, which gave us plenty of time to play tourist. Here are some of the things we were able to do before the

Adam sent an email to some of you about this, but for those who didn't get it, here is what he said:I am sending this email because I have recently committed to be a part of the U.S. military, and I want you to know more about that. Jenni and I will soon be leaving Hawaii where we have lived for the last three years. We do not know what base I will be stationed at.I joined the Air Force on June

I wrote this a few weeks ago and am just now posting pictures and posting it, so some of the stuff is outdated: This is kind of old news, but Adam has officially graduated! He finished his last class on June 2nd, so we had a party for him. My friends and I have been talking about having a "mocktail" party (non-alcoholic drinks) for a while, so we decided to do that. We made margaritas, pina

As you may have read in an earlier post, Adam went to Kaua'i for a few days with one of his classes. He loved it so much, that he wanted to take me there, so we went for 4 days during his Spring Break. It was amazing! We didn't want to come home...ever. I thought Oahu was beautiful until we drove around Kaua'i.After spending time getting camping permits, we went snorkeling at Po'ipu Beach. It was

On Saturday, April 10th, Adam finally graduated from college. He still has 5 pretty easy credits left to officially graduate, but he will have that done by the beginning of June. He will be receiving a Bachelor's of Science in University Studies with an emphasis in Biology and Chemistry. Elder Quentin L. Cook was the speaker at his graduation. Even though he is not completely done with school yet

March has been a kind of hectic week. We have been spending quite a bit of time with our friend Amy and her daughter Avery. We started off the month by going to the Honolulu Zoo, which Adam and I have never been to before. It was nothing like the San Diego Zoo, but it was decent. It was fun to go with a couple of our friends' kids who got excited about everything.Amy's daughter, Avery, turned 3

Adam wanted to post the first picture for his brother, Nathan.February was kind of a busy month. Adam and I just had quite a bit of work along with school, softball, and keeping ourselves busy anyway we can. Adam has been wanting to go hiking all the time, but since I can't go on the kind of hikes he likes (because the arthritis in my knees has been getting worse) he has been going alone, with

Adam and I have been kind of busy since we last wrote, so this is probably going to be kind of long. We have also taken quite a few pictures in the last month, so I'll post some of those. First of all, two of our best friends, Matt and Sunshine, had a baby on December 18th. They invited us to be in the room with them for that, so we ended up taking pictures and video for them. It was cool to be

Adam and I have been keeping ourselves pretty busy lately, so I'm just getting around to catching up on the blog. Adam started the new school year in the middle of September. He is taking Biochemistry, Physics Lab, Genetics, Pacific Natural History, a 1 credit research lecture, and auditing Spanish, so he's in the library a lot (or he should be). He's also still working at McDonald's but not as

It's been a couple of months since our last post, so here's some catching up for us. Adam turned 26 on October 25th. I threw a party for him and made him a special Monopoly cake upon his request. We also made pizzas, since that is Adam's favorite food.Then was Halloween. Adam and I dressed up as Zack and Kelly from Saved By the Bell. I'm sure you can all guess who's idea that was.

Adam and I went camping in Hau'ula, which is less than 10 minutes from here. We went camping there before, but this time we (Adam) decided to take another trail that he had supposedly been to before. Instead of hiking for 45 minutes, it ended up being about 2 hours. The trip was definitely worth it in the end because of the beautiful views and the strawberry guava trees and passion fruit vines

This month, Adam and I have been able to spend a lot of time together. For the first part of the summer, he was working two jobs and going to school full-time. He started out this summer term doing the same thing, but then he felt like he needed a break, so he dropped one of his classes and quit one of his jobs. We haven't done a whole lot, but we have been relaxing and hanging out more.One of

Nothing terribly exciting has been going on over here lately. On Saturday, we rented a carpet cleaner and, as part of moving everything off the carpets, ended up rearranging the entire apartment. It is really nice to finally be able to walk on our carpets with no shoes on and not end up with black feet (I don't think the carpets here have been cleaned in years). Also, the way we arranged both the

Adam and I had a pretty long weekend filled with fun. He had work off from Thursday through Sunday, so we were able to enjoy it together. On the 3rd, we went for a hike to Waimea Falls with our friends Tim, Sumbel, and their son Leo.Along the path to the falls were tons of native plants and ancient sacred Hawaiian structures.We had fun swimming in the pool at the bottom of the falls as well as

On Friday, June 12th, Adam and I had the opportunity to go to the Big Island for the first time. The main purpose of our trip was to go to the Kona Temple. We haven't been to the temple for more than 6 months because the La'ie Temple is closed for a year and a half for major renovations. We left at 4am to get to the airport by 5am, and our flight left at 5:52, so we were pretty tired the entire

The other day we decided that we wanted to try to replace Mochi, so we got another lovebird. His name (we're not sure if it's a boy or a girl, so we'll just say "him" until we figure it out) is Limu, which is the Hawaiian word for algae or seaweed. We thought it was fitting since he is green like some limu. He has been pretty fun to have around so far, but he is still getting used to us.

Our bird Mochi flew away today. Here are some pictures in memory of him. We are so sad that he escaped our apartment and flew to the other side of town. We haven't seen him since.

Kerry and Brenda (Adam's parents) have been on the island for almost a week now, and we've been having a lot of fun visiting with them. They were staying at the Marriott on the other side of the island, but they came to stay with us for the last few nights of their trip. We stayed in one of the rooms of their timeshare a couple of nights, and it was pretty amazing. There were pools everywhere

We started out Adam's Spring Break by celebrating Easter. We went to sacrament meeting at the family ward we used to be in. The speakers gave great talks on the Savior and the atonement, and it was nice to see some of our friends again. That evening, we had dinner with our friends Matt, Sunshine, Steve, Elizabeth, Jen, and Li. It was all soooo good.Adam took the next couple of days off of work,

Adam finished his hula class this week; he got an A! Jenni got her cast off on Thursday. Her wrist is still healing, but it is doing well enough that she only has to wear a brace.Our ward won the Iosepa Cup, which is the award for the BYU-H ward that earns the most points for participation and placing in sports. FYI - the cup was named after a traditional Hawaiian sailboat, the Iosepa, that

This month was definitely more memorable than January. First, we had a really nice Valentine's Day. Adam made breakfast for us - heart-shaped pancakes. We spent most of the day just hanging out and playing games at home. Then, Adam made pizza and ravioli for dinner, so I didn't have to cook all day! It was a nice break.I finally started working on the 20th. My first job was a high school P.E.

January was kind of uneventful for us, but we did try to have a little fun. Adam started school and is trying to figure out his plans for the future. It looks for now that he is going back to Idaho in the fall to finish there. Then he's planning on going to pharmacy school. The top schools he's looking at right now are Idaho State (Pocatello) and University of Washington (Seattle), but we'll have
