Flash forward 6 months to me researching farms to live and work on in Hawaii. I found this incredible little farm on Maui called Huelo (that name seemed so familiar...) In addition to working in the garden on the farm we would also be working at the farm's smoothie stand! I freaked out because if we could work there it would be just like what we wanted when we saw that picture in Coastal Living! I emailed the manager and tra la tra la! We are now working there!
Blahghalahgalhgha future work place!
Knowing that Huelo would be our home for the first few months of our time in Hawaii I started Googling pictures and found all these great photos of the farm's smoothie stand called Huelo Lookout. (You can see where I'm going with this...) Something clicked and I realized why the name Huelo seemed so familiar..because I'd freaking seen it 6 months before! I pulled the Coastal Living magazine out of the recycling bin and found that article on the Hana Highway. HA! It was the exact same place!!! We are going to live and work at our fantasy fruit stand! Yes, "fantasy fruit stand" sounds dramatic but come on, if that's not God just handing us a sweet blessing then I don't know what it is.
And now because it is ridiculously dreary out right now and I want to cry because it's so cold, I leave you with this video:
If you ever find yourself asking "What will Betty and Ginny's life be like in Hawaii?" It will be like this. Hanging out with Sheryl and jumping on the beach while wearing jeans and playing guitar. Normal.

Hey Betty and Ginny!
ReplyDeleteSooo cool how this all panned out! I hope you girls have an awesome time living in HAWAII! How long will you be there?
Oh, Betty! What an adventure! I have added your blog to my list in my blog reader and look forward to lots of sunny warm posts to help me through the Michigan winter. The Hana Highway is so beautiful - what a great place to hang out. Best wishes and God's blessings on your new journeys!
