After much deliberation and thinking about all possible pros and cons it looks like Hawaii is the place for us! Our plan (unless it changes again of course!) is to move over there after Adam does his marathon in Tulsa in November. There are awesome aspects, and not so awesome ones.... the hardest part was decided if it was okay to move so far from both of our ex's...... Adam's ex wife is in LA, so it really is not much farther from her, just the entire trip will be on a plane instead of 1 hour on a plane and 4 in the car. We thought about moving to California to be closer to them, but the only reason in the entire world to move there would be to be close to them, and we can't control the lives of others, and no one can garuntee that she will still live in California for the next 3 years.... no ones fault, but life happens, and just like we have to do what is right for us, if it came down to it she would have to do what is right for her family. So that ruled California out, My ex is in the valley, but he doesn't know if he is staying there, he is trying to get into a PHD program at ASU, but if that doesn't work he might move to whatever college he CAN get into, so that took Phoenix or Tucson out of the running..... we thought and thought and decided that we need to follow OUR dreams, and improve OUR lives..... U of H has a great environmental law program that Adam really wants to be a part of, and ever since our first trip there in 2003 our hearts of been there. So, that is the plan for now. I am so excited, a little bit scared, but mostly just looking forward to an awesome fresh start! Wish us luck!!!!
Oh yeah, it is funny that before we told our kids that moving to hawaii was a possibility Lyndsay asked me earlier this summer if she could convince all the kids to give up birthday and christmas gifts for an entire year if we could all take a trip to Hawaii around christmas..... and now we get to live there! Life is good!
