The Wanderlust

Yeah. It's happening. Ginny and I are FINALLY moving to Hawaii!! Anyone who knows us knows that this has been in the works for years. And I do mean years. I know there have been doubters along the way who thought we were all talk (you may now eat your words and feel deeply sorry for ever thinking we couldn't do it:)) but I can now officially say that we have purchased our tickets and we leave on January 13! God is awesome. He has finally opened all the right doors and we're going! BLAGHAHGHHHH!!!!!

Officially kissing winter goodbye. Peace out crappy weather!!

We've always said that we hate the thought of dying in a world we haven't seen. God created the most incredible and diverse world and we aim to explore as much of it as possible. Plans for traveling the world will fall into place eventually but right now we're just freaking pumped that we get to live in Hawaii and be beach bums!

It all started 10 years ago when Ginny and I started reading the Abby books. They are about a girl and her family in the 1800's who live in Hawaii and sail around the world. We thought they would be Cheese-Fest 2010 but holy crap were we wrong. Pamela Walls, the lovely author, spins the most inspiring, page-turning adventure tales ever! Our minds pretty much exploded when we read these books. We realized for the first time ever that we didn't have to live ordinary lives. We could do whatever we wanted!! So basically we are going to be Abby and live in Hawaii and travel the world :)

We've made many, many, many plans for Hawaii over the years and were thisclose to going a few different summers but for what ever reason (read: God's will) the move never happened. But we waited on God and trusted that someday He would allow us to go. And now He has! AHHH! And really this is the PERFECT time. No school, no men, no obligations. Nothing is holding us back, but God is guiding us forward. And our family and friends (you guys! love.) are awesome and have shown us nothing but support and enthusiasm.

You guys all know that Ginny and I march to the beat our our own drum so we've always known that God has something special and different planned for us. Never satisfied with having a "normal" life we're running away from all that to follow God and go on the sweet adventures He has planned for us. Yay!

That is us running to our future in Hawaii and we are pumped. Our brother Mike is jealous that he's not running to Hawaii too. Poor Chiggsy.
