The House

So when the year started, I thought to myself  'how many things can I do in one year that will forever change my life'.  Marriage, Baby, become a brain surgeon and purchase house was the goal.... 3 out of 4 ain't bad right?

When we found out the baby was on its way, we knew our studio apartment in town wasn't going to work.  It was a great experience to live in town.  Meeting friends a local bars and being able to walk or taking a reasonably priced taxi is something we are really going to miss.

At the end of the May, we purchased our first home in Kapolei.  For the mainland folk, Kapolei is about 20 miles from the heart of Honolulu on the west side of Oahu.  We planned strategically to set up home near our parents and we were successful.  All the grandparents live within the 5 miles.

To the right is the mansion in which we will be in debt for the next 30 years.  Its 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths.  It is a small house but it's a major upgrade from the 500 sq.feet closet we were living in.  We never did have a house warming party... maybe a super bowl sunday party is in order.  Big ups to my real estate agent Chaz Tiogangco.
