It's back to work for this nurse... for those of you that don't know, I'm going from working in a NICU at Bethesda Naval, to being a clinic nurse at Pearl Harbor.
More importantly, our home search has ended (we hope at least-- barring nothing goes terribly wrong)! We actively went house hunting one day a few weeks ago with our realtor. It was fairly easy for us since we had been researching and already picked the area where we wanted to live. We saw a total of 4 houses and I was completely sold on the second one we saw!!
The house is in Kailua, which is an awesome location for both of us in relation to our work commutes. This is very important to us since Michael and I will be working on opposite sides of the island and both despise traffic (I think Michael develops mild rage disorder when he gets stuck on the H1-- Hawaii's rush hour can compare to I-95 South traffic for all of you east coasters). Also, the house is in a BEAUTIFUL location. It's close to the most beautiful beaches on the windward side of the island. It's also only a few blocks away from amazing restaurants and cute little boutiques. Oh, and did I mention that there is a WHOLE FOODS just 5 min down the road... and a frozen yogurt bar!?!
So, long story short, we put an offer on the house of our dreams, and the sellers ACCEPTED! Now, we are in escrow and it's just a lot of paper work and emails until settlement. It's a waiting game and I'm so anxious to move out of this HOTEL (around the first week of June *cross fingers*)! 30+ days in a small hotel room is not ideal for our first dabble with cohabitation. But, we are still incredibly happy and feeling blessed everyday that we are here :)
Here are some pictures of the house... I can't wait to start decorating!!
Ooops, the pictures loaded in the wrong order! Oh well, you guys get the idea. So that's the house! It's 3BR and 2BATH.... once we get settled, we're expecting visits!
Aloha!
