With pictures this time.

So Hawaii was fantastic, as I've said. I took a bunch of pictures, more than anyone other than myself would ever want to look through. As soon as we were out of the jet bridge, I wanted to take a picture of everything. Honestly, everything was beautiful, and I wanted a picture. As in 'Look! The airport has palm trees! ' click click click! I got over that relatively quickly, but I still came home with over a thousand shots, so watch the Picture of the Day, I'm sure there will be a lot of Hawaii there for a few weeks. I really feel like we saw a lot of what Oahu had to offer. In fact, on our last day, Mike found a top 12 list of things to do on the island. We had done 9, and were on our way to the tenth. And Eric was a wonderful host. I'd definitely recommend staying at his place. He thought of everything for us, and it definitely made the trip much better. Thanks, Eric!

Welcome Back, Winter

So the 'Picture of the Day' was actually taken today (04-05-07). Overnight we got 10 inches of snow. I'm sure it won't stick around long, the snow already looks to be melting off the roads, but it doesn't exactly feel very much like April anymore. On the other hand, we'll soon be in Hawaii, so I can't complain at all.

In the mean time, we are having an incoming resident and her husband (Sadie and John) stay with us for a few days while they job/house hunt. They drove up from Washington DC last night, and a trip that should have taken 8 hours lasted 14 due to the weather. Then today they found out that a number of John's interviews as well as some showings were canceled because of the weather. Seems like its been a rough start for them, but hopefully they find something they like in both searches. If not, I really think John is all set to just move right in with us.

Spring Cleaning

I've been making some changes here at the halblog. Nothing too earth shattering, but a change is nice. I'm going to attempt a picture-of-the-day in the sidebar. Hopefully that goes well. I figure I've stuck with blogging longer than I expected, so maybe I can make the commitment of a new(ish) picture each day. Actually, now that I look at it, I have to change the picture I chose already because I've used it on thehalblog just a few posts ago. See, I'm getting better at it already. I expect I'll continue to play with the template until I find something I like, or until I get tired/frusterated with it. Hopefully I find something I like.
