Moving

[Bonnie and Kona]

We are planning to move from California to Hawaii in June. We were there for a two week vacation/business trip to determine if this would work out for us and the answer is decidedly, "Yes". 

My DD and I have chronic daily migraines. Hers are significantly worse than mine. For almost five years she has been unable to work or even live on her own due to daily excruciating pain. For some reason we both feel better in Hawaii. It just so happens that the company my DH works for has a Honolulu office and they have agreed to have him make the move. 

We lived in Hawaii in the 1980s when our kids were little and I loved it. My DH felt like the world was passing him by even though he loved the climate and activities. To which I asked, "And your point is???" 28 years later we are going back, and I am mostly thrilled. We have to leave our DS and his precious family behind. It will be extremely hard to do that. Those grandkids are a strong draw, but our suffering daughter needs a chance at a better quality of life. So now begins the work of getting our house ready to rent. Can you say P.U.R.G.E? Let the games begin. 

In the 80's dogs had to be quarantined for four months when moving to Hawaii. Mercifully, now that requirement is waived for dogs whose vaccines are up-to-date. I could not imagine putting my doodles in quarantine that long!

There is gonna be lots more of this:

Wow, how exciting.  Getting to move to Hawaii and having it hopefully have medical benefits as well!  (Seems like you should be able to deduct it from your taxes as a medical expense ... lol!  Hope all goes smoothly and it is the answer to all your prayers.

Doris, I love that idea! I would be so happy to have the cruise dock in Hawaii and entertain all my DK friends! You are right about this process being slow and covered in prayer. We have been grateful for clear discernment. And we know an open door doesn't necessarily mean an easy path.
