Well, this week was just a jammed pack with a whole bunch of craziness. It was Gavins last week on the Island before his big move to Kauai.
On Friday we had a beach Bonfire with all of our friends. We just talked story, ate smores, and lit off sparklers. I can't believe that Gavin is leaving and that the next time we spend a lot of time together it will be in Kauai when we are married! Gah, I am so excited! So ready to be with my man.
On Saturday we both flew out to Kauai for Gavin's first day on his big job. We both had 2 big suitcases each along with a on board bag and personal items. We have been talking about Kauai for the longest time honesty and I can't believe that we are actually on our way and that Gavin is starting a big job! When we landed we went straight to the Marriott to check into the hotel. Everyone thought we were tourists and seemed quite surprised when they saw two white people from Oahu who are checking in for the management position. Great times.
This hotel was a little too bougie for us because we weren't sure if we are were supposed to wheel our bags to the room or if they are. As soon as we got to the room we scarfed down the whole box of chocolates on the lanai overlooking our view of the lagoon on the resort.
The Sheraton Kauai resort is beautiful. We have a lagoon view which means we can see the canal. On our first day we honestly just enjoyed the resort. Gavin went on a tour of the resort with his boss. She was speaking super fast and introducing him to tons of new people as the "new manager" so that is exciting. I am so proud of Gavin and his job. He really is the hardest worker and deserves this opportunity. He worked so hard in school. We both feel so blessed that we have the opportunity to move to Kauai, get married, and start our lives here. honestly, we owe it to God. Just feel so grateful for everything.
Our cars weren't on the island yet so we walked over to the shopping market to get a burger from Bubbas and some groceries at Long's. After we watched the sun sent as whales swam by. It was honestly so magical and fun. I can't believe that we are going to live here.
We finished off the night with a swim in the hot tub and the Hulk which I think we didn't even make 4 minutes into the movie.
It just felt so nice knowing that we are so close to living together forever. We are both praying that we can get housing.
On Sunday our Friend Eve picked us up and took us to church in our new ward. It was a good Sunday and I'm excited to join a family ward. After Eve was so kind and made us the best Acai bowls, hemmed Gavin's pants, made us dinner, and drove us to meet some new friends David and Kassidy. Seriously the nicest girl ever. So excited to move here and know that I already have a friend. She is the greatest.
Wonderful weekend in Kauai. I really don't want to leave tomorrow. I can just enjoy the rest and do whatever I want for free. What a life. So happy honestly!!
