TEMECULA,CA begins 2010
Yes it looks like we are waving Aloha to our island of Oahu at the end of 2009..it is bittersweet for me, how blessed I feel to of been able to be here in Hawaii...The highlights for me are as follows :
We arrived April,3 2008...I was blissfully happy, I will never forget how I felt that day. I was home to live in the land of my Father.The excitement within our family was truly joyous!! it was a new chapter..a new place..new friends...a fresh ocean with warm water and cool salty breezes..The Temple...the beach...BYU Hawaii..my Hawaiian genealogy..the beach...exploring new places..and luxury real estate... Yes it was the dawn of a new time in the Williams Family truly in Paradise. The real estate was fun while it lasted..the economy took care of that party!! I joined the BYUH Womens Org and I absolutely loved it..I was voted in as 2008-09 Vice President in chair for 09-10 Presidency. It was not meant to be for leading this fine group of Women in 09-10 but I am so honored to of been in the VP role and to be a part of their service.I was also inducted to the Daughters of Hawaii for January 2010. I am honored to be a part of this group as well, one must prove their Hawaiian lineage to be a member.Travis swam with Dolphins became an Eagle Scout and graduated High School and turned in his Mission papers, Travis & Aubree joined a modeling agency in Honolulu, Travis also coached BYUH Cheer.
Aubree turned 16 and had her friends at a hotel sleepover and swim party in Waikiki, Malia, Mahie and Summer they are great friends. She cheered & coached for Kahuku H.S. cheer, she took Stats for football for Damian High School a private school, she learned to dance Tahitian and Hula, learned to speak Hawaiian and got her permit to drive and . Connor played for Pop Warner and Kahuku JV they won the state Championship, he learned to surf ,speak Hawaiian and got his Patriarchal Blessing. Makinsee joined a youth choir, learned to surf,snorkel and photography, she made lots of new friends swam with Dolphins and learned to fish.I too swam with her and the Dolphins...it was magical...Nana came home from her mission here and relaxed and slept in for a change...she loves the beach and the sun,good books, movies and computer solitaire. I am not saying goodbye...but Aloha...for the islands will always be home for me....
This made me cry.. I will miss each one of you!!!!
