Aloha! It has been a busy week!  Rusty has been very helpful working on the apartment...

While I was cleaning he decided to nap on the dining room chairs!

On Friday, our new air conditioner was installed...

And our new sofa was delivered...
 
 
 Rusty is a big fan of the new sofa!

The apartment is finally starting to feel like our home. Just a little more work - finding a home for some odds and ends, and hanging art and picture frames - and we will be there!  The goal for completion is Thanksgiving Dinner!

On Friday night, we went to the Jack Johnson concert at the Hawaii Theater. All proceeds benefited his Kokua Hawaii Foundation - educating Hawaii's Keiki (Kids) on the Environment. 
 
  Jack had HAIR for the concert... I didn't know it was him when he first walked out!

 
 
They showed his new DVD En Concert, which follows him through his Worldwide tour from 2008 and then he played a full acoustic set with Zach Gill. Paula Fuga, a Hawaiian artist, joined him for a few songs.  She has a very soothing voice. We even got to hear a song that he hasn't recorded yet, which Paula joined him on. It was a once in a lifetime type of show - with only 4,000 seats in the Theater! What a great show!!! I hope we will get to see him again while we are here.

On Saturday morning we woke up early to join the hundreds of walkers at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk for the Cure at Kapiolani Park. Our team was the Hawaii Terps.



 
 
Rusty got tired, so we took turns carrying him (lazy bum)!



 
It drizzled on our walk over to Kapiolani Park, but the rain held out for the entire walk. But unfortunately when we finished the walk we saw the black clouds rolling in, so we started to head back. It wasn't soon enough, we got caught in some heavy rain - the only heavy rainstorm we have witnessed since we moved here!

Look how pretty the Louis Vuitton store looks for the holidays (sorry for the blurry walking shots - taken on my Blackberry!)
 
 

We love and miss you all! XOXO
