Chase just boarded his flight back to the mainland. Our Hawaiian Adventure is officially over. Ava and I have been back home for a while now but I guess I always thought that there was a small chance that something wouldn't work out and we would be back over there. Not that I wanted it to, but you never know with the Marine Corps.
I remember when Chase told me we were going to Hawaii, I cried and cried and cried. I cried the whole way on the plane and for days after getting there. I cant believe I ever doubted that living in paradise would be just that....Paradise!
I am so thankful that we had this amazing oppertunity. We experienced things that most people will never get to in their lifetime. I hope some day we can go back and re-live wonderful memories we had there.
Here are some of my favorite pictures of our life in Hawaii.

So I think I just set a record for most pictures in one post.
Even though I am so sad to be leaving this amazing place, I know we are about to embark on some new amazing adventures for our family. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Hawaii and if I had the chance I would pack up our things and go back in a half-a-heartbeat! For now we will settle in to our new place (that we don't have yet) in Florida and make new memories there!
Aloha Hawaii and thank you again for these amazing moments in our lives.
