I'm SUCH a girl...

So today I realized I packed my bedding I bought a few years ago when living at the beach house, my blue and green quilt set, which would be great but Ben has a Queen and the bedding is a Full. 
Anyway, So I ran to bed, bath, and beyond and bought this duvet cover set. 
And, Ben liked it!  So lucky my boyfriend has good taste too! ;)

First Update

Welcome to our blog!  Here I'll do my best to keep you updated on our big move to Oahu.

For those who don't know, Ben and I will be moving to Oahu June 8th.  He will be stationed at Barber's Point which is in Kapolei.

In preparation for the move: I've sold my car (because shipping is ridiculous, it costs ~$1500), recently purchased our plane tickets over (it will be Ben, Erika, and me going together- a girl's gotta have her sister there to help out with a move like this!), and am purchasing a hotel stay with costco travel for our first few days.  -Side Note: I highly recommend you check out Costco when doing a big vacation like this, they have some amazing deals!  Oh and My Mom will be meeting us the following week on Monday to help with this big move too!

Anyway, I had a screening interview with a recruiter from the Hawaii Department of Education on Friday while he was at a job fair at CSU Long Beach.  He explained that the way they work is: the applicant applies online, if you meet certain qualifications you receive a screening interview with a recruiter- if the applicant receives a minimum score on their interview then they will be added to the hiring pool list.  Then when a school needs a teacher they will go to the Hawaii DOE and say, I need this type of teacher and the hiring pool list is provided.  Then, they call whatever applicants they're interested in for further interviewing with the principal and whomever else they choose.  When my interview was finished the recruiter said, "That was pretty good."  I went back to their information table and got some general hiring information and he gave me his business card and said to contact him once I make it to Honolulu.  I feel fairly confident about it, but he said I'll receive a letter in the mail within a week or two notifying me of my status into the hiring pool.

Ben and I are getting really excited with only 52 days left, but there's still so much to do and prepare. 
I will try to keep an update on here instead of Facebook so I'm not driving everyone crazy.
Until next time, Aloha!
