Hello my lovely IC friends,
Sorry I haven't posted in quite awhile but I was so busy with the move and getting settled in that I just couldn't get on to post. That and the fact that the internet situation in Hawaii is a little messed up! My wireless connection on my laptop moves at the pace of a snail and I have to drive to town to use it!
But I am really starting to enjoy it over there. It is a big adjustment, a really BIG one but it is rewarding at the same time. We truly live differently over here, especially different from crazy California. I barely need to drive, people are truly never in a hurry and if they are, the are almost always tourists! Who BTW usually drive me crazy. People will always let you in while driving, they have time to stop and talk and seem to want to make friends with new people.
Probably what I enjoy most though is the way we can live in harmony with the environment. I am a major conservation person but in California, I found it so hard to live as one.I used AC, drove about an hour a day, had all the modern comforts, and so many other things. Over here we catch all of our water from the rain water, grow alot of our own food, have solar power, cycle all over the place, and just try to live as environmentally friendly as we can.
The financial stress of living in Cali is gone too and i cant tell you how much better I feel physically and mentally now. My husband and I made well over 100,000 a year together and could barely survive there and that just sucks. Now I can easily live on 1500 dollars a month! I love it.
One very sad thing though is that we had to put our precious dalmation, Raider, to sleep on April 2nd. His kindneys were failing and he just got so sick, I didnt want him to suffer anymore. I am still mourning for him but I know he is at peace now.
Well I missed all of you! I hope you are all doing okay and cant wait to catch up on what is going on. And I wasnt lying when I said you are welcome to visit me over there! I will show you a wonderful time.
Aloha
Sarah
