Hawaii - Day 3

So today we had to switch hotels because while being right on the beach is beautiful, it is also expensive so we moved inland to a hotel closer to the post and cheaper on the wallet. The military will pay for our expenses but we have to pay it first then we get reimbursed. Anyway, after all of that excitement this morning we decided to drive around and look at some of the houses listed on a military approved web site. It just means that the landlords have been screened. Anyway, the first house ended up being an apartment so that doesnt really work for us. The second house was really nice, in a great location, but at the top of our BAH. The third house was in a horrible neighborhood and we wont be going up there again!!!! We are trying to stay under our BAH allowance so that we can not only afford the house but the utilities as well. Everything is a bit more over here. We bought some groceries today so we could eat a little at the hotel. Milk is $6.00 a gallon and diapers were a little more than we are use to paying. Everything else was actually the same. We got gas today as well and it was $3.99 a gallon so we didnt think that was as bad as we expected. We spent some time on Post today and realized that we really want to be on post. They say the ones that get a house are the ones who bug houseing to we made a plan to start bugging them. Tomorrow we are going to find out what being number 75 really means and how long will it really take to get a house on post. We are really praying about being in the right place so please send out those prayers that God will provide the right house for our family. He has really taken care of us through all of this so we know that will provide this as well. This picture is of one of the views from the post. Everywhere you look their is a different view that is so beautiful. The other picture is of a rainbow from our balcony of the hotel we left today. It rains everyday here but it is more like a sprinkling or a mist and usually their is a rainbow. The hawaiians will tell you that they are good luck but we know what they really are!!!!
