I can’t believe that June is over and we are well into July. So much has happened in the last month and a half. Chad and I had our 2 anniversary (I love you very much Chad McKay Evans), Chloe was baptized, we moved into our own apartment, Holland learned how to roll over, 4th of July, and Chad got bit by a poisonous centipede and had to go to the ER. This island (Oahu) has had a long history for Chad. He has healed from surgery here, worked here, played here, dated here, escaped from girls here, gone to school here, lived in the "Meat Rack" with his brothers here. I do not have a long history here, but feel like I have learned a lot on this island. Although at times I feel out of my comfort zone this island has been really good to Chad and I. It is amazingly beautiful, it is fun, it is kind, it is humid, and it has giant centipedes!!! That is the good, bad, and the ugly.
I was going to post a picture of a Hawaiian centipede, but I did not want to have look at it ever again. If you are curious, you can google it.
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, which is great for Holland and I because she is already done with me typing. She would rather be playing peek a boo, singing Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam(her current favorite), wrestling, playing in her johnny jumpup, swimming in the pool (not the ocean, she is scared), giggling, snacking on adult food (her dad gives her things when he thinks that I am not looking), grabbing everything she can reach, putting everything she grabs in her mouth, interacting with anyone who will talk to her, grunting, talking (the kids swear that she says Hi to them), sucking her lower lip, riding in her stroller (which she now loves), taking a bath, really anything that requires my full attention! We love her and can't believe that she is ours!!!
