A review of last week in pictures

Annoucements, Announcements, Announcements....

Some information we'd like to share......
















We found out this week that we will be leaving the island by Feburary of next year (2009). Although we're sad at the news b/c we are settled in here and hey its a pretty nice place to be, we know that this is an opportunity to go someplace we've not yet been and maybe be closer to home. Right now its up in the air as to where we'll be and we don't know when we'll have orders. Scott has requested savannah, kentucky, or kansas -- most of those places will be returning from deployment. But, as we know, nothing is for sure and things change pretty quick. So, cross your fingers for us!!

Law degree....check...

Just a couple Fridays ago Emily received her JD. I was able to get a few pictures from that celebration. Now, she's official and is on retainer as my counsel....just in case...who knows what could happen these days. She's headed to Northwestern in the fall for the LLM degree. Might be a bit chilly come winter, but we're sure she'll overcome that obstacle with the same tenacity she's used to get through those 3 years of law school. Congrats Emily!!!!

Hoyt Invasion

Thanksgiving was celebrated with all immediate Hoyt's in Hawaii. We kayaked, spent time on the beach, saw some surfing/turtles and ate at a few good restaurants.

Straubs came to Hawaii!
