Good News!

Aloha!! We've been here in Hilo, Hawaii for about a month now. We love living with Aaron's family, they are kind to us and it's like a party every night - games, Korean dramas (if you've never seen one, you are missing out!) and lots of family gatherings (which of course includes delicious food!).

On Monday, Aaron got a job offer with Merrill Lynch! He will start as a Financial Advisor Trainee on salary and go through their management training program in order to earn all the necessary certifications/licences he will need to become a Financial Advisor in investment banking. We are really grateful for this opportunity - it is a blessing. I also have a part-time job reviewing a local company's Quickbooks from home, much thanks to Aaron's uncle.

I will start blogging again soon - there is much to post (especially from before we left the east)! Plus, since then, Elise started pre-school, both she & Elijah are swimming like crazy, we have taken little trips to the beach and temple, and spent lots of time with our beautiful relatives... I just need to purchase more space so that I can upload pictures. Somehow I exceeded my google limit for pictures...

Thanks to all who've checked in on us recently - we miss you! Much love & aloha...

Congrats to Aaron on the FANTASTIC job!!! I'm also VERY jealous of your new adventure in Hawaii. Trust me, it's probably much more scenic than Phoenix.

Excited to hear of your adventures!
