Loving it

Have I mentioned how much I love it here? It is so, so beautiful everywhere you look. Even the utility of the base is overshadowed by the majesty of the natural surroundings. The mountains today are particularly stunning, the way the sun shines and creates highlights and shadows on the sharp contours. I'm really enjoying my mornings alone with Evan after we drop Jake off at school. Today we went to Kailua beach park, the prettiest in town, and just sat and played in the sand and listened to the waves. Isn't that the most perfect?? All while Jake is merrily off in a wonderful school where the principal meets the car and he gets to eat a sloppy joe for lunch. I'm drowning in happiness.
Tomorrow is our walk-through at Mapuana street and the official start of the lease. I can not wait to see the property again and walk around mentally placing our furniture. In that sense it's a good thing the furniture hasn't arrived: we'll have a chance to consider the arrangement before movers start slinging boxes around.
Jake starts t-ball on Saturday and is on the Brewers with 2 other boys he knows. They'll practice 2-3 times a week with games on the weekend at a local school. He's gonna be wiped with all that activity on top of kindergarten!
