I feel like every year I think "Wow, last year was so busy!" and then the next year seems to surpass it! We've had a busy (can you tell by my lack of blog posts?!) and wonderful 2014. To sum it up, we:
1-Moved back over seas from Hawaii to Utah
2-Found a great little yellow house to rent (Thanks Ben & Tatum!) right on the lake, that happens to be in our same neighborhood in the Daybreak community of South Jordan!
3-Hana finished 2nd grade and started 3rd and Aya finished preschool and started Kindergarten.
4-Geoff got a job at the Morgan Stanleyoffice in South Jordan and is working there.
5-I (Rachel) started my own website for meal planning classes, home organization and working as a professional organizer.
6-We spent loads of time with family and friends, here in Utah and loved every minute.
7-And also spent time missing our friends in Hawaii, Japan and all over the world. (Love and miss you all!)
Currently we are:
-Enjoy singing in the choir, playing the flute (Rachel) and learning and playing the Irish Whistle (mostly Geoff but a little of Rachel & both girls too.)
-Geoff is serving as a Wolf den leader for the scouts in our area, and I get to play the piano in primary (children's church class) every Sunday and I love it :)
-Hana and Aya are still loving Frozen, along with all of the girls there age so we hosted 2 Frozen themed birthday parties and will soon be doing another one for Hana's 9th birthday at the end of January!
-I am still addicted to running and find the trail around the lake to be perfect! Geoff is planning to join me with the daily work outs this new year.
-Still working on our dream to start a homestay program/English school in Utah or Hawaii for Japanese and other foreign students.
-Feeling very blessed and humbled by all the things our Father in Heaven has given us and continues to give us.
Happy 2015! Love you all!
1-Moved back over seas from Hawaii to Utah
 |
| These family pictures were taken right before we left by my talented and dear friend, Vanessa Hunt, at a beach that was walking distance to our home and the best place to hang out at sunset with friends-Secret Beach |
 |
| All we own packed in bags and suit cases (again!) for the flight back |
2-Found a great little yellow house to rent (Thanks Ben & Tatum!) right on the lake, that happens to be in our same neighborhood in the Daybreak community of South Jordan!
 |
| How cute is this yellow townhouse?! |
 |
| Right across from the lake and a big grassy area-we love the location! |
3-Hana finished 2nd grade and started 3rd and Aya finished preschool and started Kindergarten.
 |
| Hana's 1st day of 3rd grade. Our Japanese student, Mizuki, came to see her off too. |
 |
| Hana is always a good big sister and takes care of Aya. I'm glad they are best friends. |
 |
| Aya's first day of Kindergarten! She was so excited. |
