Still Alive

Well it looks like the blog is mine now. Sorry to all of you who were adamant followers of Julia. She obviously is a fantastic blogger. Me - not so much. I am moving to a new apartment this weekend. It is out on the other side of the island, but close to some friend so it should be nice. There are also kids that the boys can play with and there is a pool in the apartment complex so the boys should love it out there. Unfortunately they would not let me take the dog (Ila) with me. Fortunately I was able to get someone to watch him until I get the chance to send him off-island. Hopefully the parents or someone will be able to take him once he gets back state-side.

I am going to New Zealand for a week next month and then on to Chicago for a legal conference. it will be the first time that I have been to the continental U.S. since I moved to American Samoa. It should be a nice break, but it will definitely be very cold for me since I have gotten too used to the weather in Samoa. Also I have absolutely no cold weather clothing. I was cold when I went to Hawaii a few months ago so Chicago in October is making me very nervous. The conference is business casual so I am wondering if Aloha shirts, sandals, and lava lava's will be tolerated. lol.
