He ran home Friday night just in time for us to be picked up for dinner and a movie with Wheelwrights. We had a great dinner at Ruby Tuesdays and then saw "Mama Mia" at the theater in the mall. We arrived home and watched an hour of the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics in Beijing. Fabulous Show!
Saturday morning we awakened to the alarm at 7:00 so we could drive to Haleiwa where we were scheduled to go diving at 8:30. Ricardo (Brazilian living in Hawaii) was our assigned instructor (interesting, huh?). We went with him to "Shark's Cove" where we spent the whole morning in the water remembering how to dive. We got to do two dives. It was so much fun--and I didn't even feel anxious. We saw a huge sting ray on the ocean floor, hundreds of beautiful fish, an eel, an ugly, but interesting puffer fish, and a turtle. It was a blast.
(Above is an after the dive photo of us with Ricardo and his daughter, Isabella)After finishing with our diving, we grabbed something to eat, rushed off to Costco and Walmart for our groceries, etc and then headed back towards home. On the way, Greg said, "Let's go golfing." Of course!!! What is a Saturday without golf? So we put away the food and rushed to the Kahuku course so we could play in the sunlight. (It gets a bit dark by 7:15 now). Deciding we were both too tired to cook, we stopped at the Taco Bell in the shopping center for a bite to eat (the Subway is closed for renovations--what a bummer. So it's either Taco Bell, $24 dollar pizzas at Pizza hut express or the yucky Laie chop suey cafe. Some choice!) Anyway, we returned home full and spent till midnight watching more Olympics.
Sunday morning arrived very early as our church is at 8AM. We had church, ate lunch with a missionary couple and then I went to a Young Women meeting. Waited up till 11:30 for Chad and Ashley to arrive to stay with us (their plane was delayed).
I think I'll take a nap tomorrow to rest up from the anything-but-restful weekend.

That sounds so fun, fofa!! You should really feel lucky to have a such an adventurous husband--and that you're not pregnant, so you can do all that stuff (arghh...that's the part that's not fun about being pregnant--no roller coasters "holler toasters" as Gavin says, no sky diving, no fun thrills :) You should really do the sky diving FOF! That would be so fun!! Go for it.

Fofster, you guys are amazing. I was talking to dad yesterday and he was describing your day on Saturday and at the end he said "Yah, it was a pretty boring day, you know." YAH RIGHT BORING. Then he chuckled. I then told him that it probably is so fun for you guys to be able to go and do things sin criancas. Since Kristin came a year after your wedding, you didn't have time on the front end, but then I think that its better at the end of the kids because you have more money. So I think that's a good message to all those waiting to have kids so that they can "enjoy life"...
fun fun. i would love your life right now. it must be tough. if you don't what to finish his wish list, i can take over! hahaha. love you mom. you need to read my blog about what sydney said regarding dad's bald head.
Greg & Jill,
It's great to see that you two are enjoying this phase of your lives. It seems an appropriate reward for raising some great kids (I met one or two in Hiroshima) and for all the hard work Greg did during his years at Ford. I'd really like to get in touch with Greg for some career advice. What's the best way to contact you?
Thanks In Advance,
Bill Obermaier
