The last rays of Summer living in Hawaii

Summer is almost over. Yes, I know. We live in Hawaii. So winter isn't really a big deal. But the calmness of the ocean will soon pass and it will be surfing season soon. So the girls and I have to get some last paddles and kicks in paddleboarding and snorkeling on the north shore. The girls experience some of the most magical sunset paddles in Haleiwa on the river and then Kimberly and I have an adult day snorkeling near Haleiwa with hundreds of turtles.

John headed off for two weeks to the Army's Jungle School here at Lightning Academy. You can check out more info here and watch this video as well.

🌈 The Girls and I Soak in the Last Rays of Summer and John Graduates Jungle School: living in Hawaii Season 5

🪖 If you are new to our channel, John re-enlisted in the military after being out for ten years. Kind of crazy. But John was a Marine and he loved the Marines. Afghanistan Veteran. The only reason he got out was for me. Back before online jobs or school, he gave up the Marines and allowed me to start my career. I had an amazing career spending years growing and working with Target as a Store Director. But with Covid came many changes. One of those was to stay home and homeschool Alexandra. And so it opened the door for John to do whatever he wanted to do. He re-enlisted, but this time we both agreed on the Army. But after being out so long, John had to go through Basic training again or OSUT. Six months of that followed by waiting for command sponsorship for our first OCONUS move and the family has been apart for 10 months. Crazy considering this wasn't a deployment. But we made it! We are now stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii for the next 2 to 3 years and feel truly blessed to be here!
