Good News!

I can hardly believe it!  Joy, oh joy!!!

Our son and his Sarah are coming for an almost three week visit at the end of this month!

They are moving again.  This time the move will take them from Albuquerque to some other destination.  They're planning to both go to graduate school, probably on the East coast.  Unfortunately, they are taking themselves even farther away from Hawaii.

However, they'll come and visit us before they make their big move.

OK... let's see... What shall we do to prepare?  Jon will want grandma to make lemon chicken for him.  We'll need to bring down his surfboard.  We need to pick up their favorite breakfast cereals. 

Yaeeee!

  6. What great looking people, Kay! You are fortunate to have them around for three weeks, and with the technology of today, they don't have to be all that far from you. I absolutely LOVE Skype and iChat.

  7. How fun to have their visit to look forward to. I have no doubt that however far away they go you will all stay in touch often and like DJan says, that is much easier to do these days.

  21. It is always a happy day when our children come home. I love that they are making a decision to continue their educations. I guess they won't be as far away from you when you are in Chicago.

    Enjoy those three weeks!

  25. Everybody: Thank you so much! They do clean up nicely, I think. And yes! We're very excited.

    Drum Major: No... I'm afraid they're set to go to the East Coast. I think it's tentatively set for Georgia.

    Gigi: Isn't it usually two years? I hope not more than that because grad school is so expensive. They're paying for it all themselves and I admire them for it.

    L. from W.: It's been about two years since we've seen them last so we've got a lot of catching up to do. I'm thinking we might go to Maui together or something like that.
