Our new life in Hawaii

Well we made it to Hawaii and it has been a hectic 2 months or so! We lived in a hotel for about a month and then we were finally able to move into our little condo at the beach. Its about half the size of our place in Alabama, but we make it work for the three of us. We are about a 10 minute walk (or 5 minute bike ride) to the beach! Its pretty amazing! Cruz loves living here in Hawaii and he really enjoys swimming in the ocean. It is so adorable to watch him splash around in the water.
Since moving here, I started having some stomach troubles again (like I had back in college) - so I decided to go back to being vegan and VOOLA... I am feeling great again! I did a month and a half of juicing and smoothie drinking and am now feeling so much better. I will continue my vegan lifestyle and have really been enjoying all the fruits and veggies I am able to find out here in Hawaii. The produce here is INCREDIBLE compared to that of Alabama! We started going to farmers markets and enjoy shopping at the natural food stores. There are just so many options here in Hawaii.
Cruz is really growing into a big boy! He is so curious about everything. I LOVE IT! He is getting closer and closer to walking every day. Right now he loves to use me as a walker, he just holds on slightly to my knees and as I back up, he walks forward... it is the cutest! He makes me laugh every day and I feel so blessed to have such an incredible baby that has turned into a awesome little person.
Jaime joined a great unit out here and is really enjoying flying around the islands. He likes all the guys he works with and we feel really lucky to have been placed in the unit we got. Jaime has started to do some juicing with me too!! And he loves it! His favorite juice is the "Mean Green" which was from the movie "Fat, sick and Nearly dead". Everyone should watch that movie, it was really inspiring! I know it really made me feel good about juicing.
Overall, the Jarrin family is doing great in Hawaii. We go to the beach at least once a week and have been enjoying living here in Hawaii. And yes... even in October the temperature here is around 80 every single day! LOVE IT!

This is our humble abode for the time being here in Hawaii

Here is Cruz enjoying a beach day in Kailua (our favorite beach spot on island)
