Today for our anniversary I went with Brian to work and hung out in the back of the Limahuli Valley.  We weeded some and then went down to the house for a big lunch.  They had planned it as a going away party, there was so much food.  (Brian especially like the 'ava brownies)  It has been a great day and we can't believe it has been 3  years already.  Thank you for all your love, support, and encouragement.  We love you guys!  And I think next year we need to have another boat day weekend!

Having read Blue Like Jazz in a compulsive gulp (thanks, Ben), I've been digesting the testimony over the past week or so- it's quite the statement.  Such an honest exploration of the hard  questions of Christianity, a discussion of the doubts and trials that come with the combination of religion and critical thinking, and the love and faith which shines ...   more »

Doesn't he look like he is loving it!

The funny thing about rain gear in the tropics is you sweat enough under the coat to get you just about as wet as if you never put on the sauna-suit in the first place... But it was a good day anyway. Much of the day was spent hunting down some outplanted Dellisia rhytidosperma, a species of bellflower that is extinct...   more »

While back in Bellingham for Aaron and Nichole's Wedding I had a interview at St. Joesph's with the float manager.  I interviewed with her in December and I would have gotten the job then but they went on a hiring freeze.  So it was a really easy interview and I pretty much had a pick of jobs.  I got offered ...   more »

Yesterday the hospital rejected the nurses proposal.  As of right now there are no scheduled talks between the two.  I am supposed to call my manager when I return from Bellingham.  So the strike continues on.  Only 7 days until we are back!!!!!!!  Today is a beautiful day here, it rained (poured) the last 2 days.
