So Far So Good


First week of UofH went smoothly. 
Into the fire this week.   The students are moving back in this week,
the faculty is back in, and its all hands on deck for support issues.

On top of that we have a vendor in helping install our cloud based
servers for web services, and file drop box functionality.

Lots going on.



This weekend I made it down to Waikiki Beach.

The sand was really hot and the Pacific water was nice and warm.   Felt good to finally make it down to the water.   It was really cool to see a lot of families with huge tents and family cookouts going on in the park area.   A lot of the younger kids had their surfboards and were out in the water waiting to ride that perfect wave in to shore.

I stopped off at a little cafe for lunch.  My mind was saying to itself, this is awesome...   But your missing something too.

This is true.    The only bad thing about the UofH is when you first start, they hold your first check.  So I'm here by myself trying to get a head start and get things going.   Stephanie and the kids are still in Michigan until the end of this month.   By the end of this month, the payroll stuff should be sorted out and everyone should be on an airplane sometime the first week of September. 

So where are we all going to live when they get here?

Good question.

I am doing a home stay with one of the faculty of the U.
They are leaving on vacation and will need someone to house site and feed
Mr. Old Cat while they are gone.   Just so happens it will be during the time
Stephanie and the kids come over.  

By that time, I should have first and last months rent saved up,
be able to get us in a place, and good to go before the end of Sep
when they return.    Is your head spinning yet?   Mine is.

You don't know what a blessing this is.    I am praying that all the
pieces of this puzzle fall into place one by one so we can get settled
and get the kids into school here.

We are trying to get the kids enrolled into the MI on-line school
program for the few weeks they will be shuffling around to keep them on task.

Then we have to work on transportation...

The Bus is good.... but has its issues.    Another story for another post.
