A new pup and a new home.

With a new addition to our family it has become quite necessary that we move out of our teeny tiny studio apartment. The three of us in one room and hardly any yard just wasn't going to cut it anymore. Before we went to work last week we began looking in to some other houses in the area. The only requirements were that it had a yard and was walking distance to the beach. Little did we know that we were going to land the perfect beach bungalow.

We found a house on Plumeria Street (how Hawaiian) that we were a little hesitant about at first. It resembled somewhat of a shanty town with hardly any lights, tarps used as roofs and trash everywhere. But with a little elbow grease, some bleach and new lumber we were able to make this house a beautiful home. Tommy has been working diligently with his fancy new tools to make a fence and gate for Munson, a kitchen table and knick knacks for the home. While I have been busy gardening, painting any piece of furniture I can get my hands on bright colors and cleaning.

Our new home is a 2 bedroom house. Though one of the rooms is more like a bonus room that we like to call the Kapua Suite for our guests. (Consider this the formal invite). It has hardwood floors throughout the house, french doors that open up on to our deck, a beautiful stained glass window, a big yard for the pup and a backyard full of papaya and banana trees. (Note: the banana trees will be ready in about 3 weeks!) Not to mention, it's a 5 minute walk to a beautiful secluded black and white sand beach.

We've turned our backyard in to an island getaway with hanging lights, lounge chairs, candles and plenty of flowers and herbs. I feel very at home in our new place and am looking forward to another new beginning and adventure in Hawaii. We hope to see you here soon.

Love, Dani, Tommy and little Miss Munson
