On the Wire - - - - -

We are sitting on the wire at this point.  Juggling last minute things.  Packing the last of the stuff that goes with us.  Having move dates...moved up.  We are about to bounce...right off the wire and onto a plane.  Talk about a crazy, exciting process.  Just when we thought it couldn't get even more exciting, we got news today that we may be leaving a day or two sooner.  I can already feel my toes in the sand.

This journey has been blessed from the beginning.  There hasn't been a single moment when God's hand has not been moving.  Today, that was shown in so many ways...including in a simple fire pit.


Jason threw a few old pieces of wood in the fire pit.  Walked away to do other things.  Walked back by the pit and saw this out of the corner of his eye.  It wasn't intentional but it wasn't coincidental.  My faith in the Creator tells me something else.  Truly blessed throughout this whole process. 

We will never question if moving to Big Island was our destiny, our calling.  We already know the answer to that question...

Life on the Island

What a crazy, amazing life we live.  Life in general is chaotic.  It gets hairy and we question what we are doing or where we are going in life or if we are even in the right place.  There hasn't been a single question or doubt about moving to Big Island.  It was the right thing to do, we are where we are supposed to be. On March 9th we welcomed baby Harvey into the world.  The first generation of Waitleys to be born on the Big Island of Hawaii.  Talk about a crazy, magical thought.  Harvey will grow up knowing the life that the ocean brings.  He will never miss out on appreciating the beauty and power of the Island.  He will always have an appreciation for the culture and life that this Island resonates and creates in people.  He is...a braddah. Shaka Power!  We brought 9 (now 10) lives to this Island but the Island has brought so much more to us.  We are all constantly in awe of the beauty surrounding us.  Even Omi, at 3, recognizes how crazy, beautiful this place is.  You

The past week has been a whirlwind.  Seriously.  New carpet was installed in all of the bedrooms.  We signed with a realtor.  Bathroom remodel was completed.  We have been unloading stuff like crazy because this is happening and happening soon.  Relocating your entire life takes a massive family effort and the Waitley family rocks.  Seriously.  Official moving boxes.  Nothing can go in totes or plastic containers in the shipping container as they tend to crack! People ask us if we are nervous about living on a volcano.  Simple answer, no.  Did we avoid Missouri because of it's tornado history?  Did we avoid Northern Idaho knowing that we would be buried in massive snow for half the year?  No way.  We went where we were called, where we were supposed to be for that season.  If the whole island blows, at least we will be where we are called and we will go out living in our paradise.  Mauna Loa on Big Island, Hawaii Want to know what is more scary than living on a volcano?
