congrats to my husband, he is a permie resident now

i received the letter in the mail today and called him right away to let him know..congrats babe you're a permanent resident of the United States.

a bummer that he was working but Zack and I decided to celebrate early, we'll continue with TY tomorrow as he'll have the day off

Z and I shared a dulce banana supreme from Haagen Das while watching a perfect orange and blue sunset. I don't normally have Z out that late because usually i'm making dinner but we're gonna have to start taking dinner with us or grab it out on kalakaua ave more often..sunset is a beautiful thing. i love that we can take an elevator and be at the edge of the beach to watch it in a few minutes. i love this place.

once the final sliver of sun slips down beneath the cloud or the mountain, whichever comes first, the tiki torches are lit and you can hear drumming start in the distance. it makes your heart race and you are so happy to be home with your tribe.

today was full of extreme contentment. i can't believe a month ago i was in the bay area, thinking about a move to that area. my heart is settled because i came back home. that warning voice has finally quieted. the last few weeks have been hard work but very satisfying..Twu and i are experts at working out watching the baby. bless this building for having a pool and playground on sixth floor. every morning they walk to the beach and back, and then go hang with da chicks on sixth floor. i normally work on morning stuff and then take Z in the afternoon so TY can go to work. it's easy, simple, and perfect. no stress.

i sort of accidentally stumbled upon a possible job opportunity, the application process will tell. if i give them six months, i'll start at 30/hr and work up to 48/hr within the year. we want to pay off the phoenix home and then possibly buy a condo here. this company staffs nurses in arizona and hawaii so how perfect, winters in arizona/sedona and the rest of the time ..here of course..

some employers are delighted that i have long term care experience, others are delighted that i'm still new enough to train. of a six month refresher course, that I started in July, I am almost done..am betting in less than a month but it depends on how much juggling with akai that i do..akai has been busy again, typical of late summer as dancers are returning from vacation, kids are going to school, classes are starting up. am not sure how i'm taking care of both, but each day is full of activity. i have not been in the water except for two brief quickies a few days ago. by late weekend if the jellyfish report looks ok it will be time to reward oneself with water again.

congrats, baby! maybe now you can apply to be on Survivor? or we can finally do Amazing Race? how are they gonna turn down such a badass couple? but you're eating the worms k?
