KEENS

This is my first official blog post of my blogging career and I have chosen an extremely important topic to discuss: KEENS. Keens are special waterproof sandals that were recommended to me and Courtney for use in Micronesia. I think they are great! Courtney does not like them much, because they are ugly and do not come in the right colors. Alas, a great moment occurred a few days ago when we hiked to the top of Diamond Head Crater near Waikiki using our new KEENS!!! Some people who know Courtney might not believe that she actually decided to wear these sandals / shoes, so I decided to include a couple of action photos of Courtney's Keens in action.

This is an action photo of Courtney's right foot in her olive-colored Keens sandals. She wishes she could her KEENS these everyday because they are "high fashion" and very cute.

Maybe more KEENS action photos from other hikes, especially in Pohnpei, will follow.

Other Important Matters . . .

We've had a great few days in Oahu, spending a lot of time on the beach, as well as surfing and snorkeling (I nearly ran into a turtle today in the water). We've also been to the Dole Pineapple Factory, Polynesian Cultural Center, North Shore, Laie Temple, and BYU-H, to name a few. As great as the time in Oahu has been, we are anxious and excited to get to Pohnpei.

Finally, GREAT NEWS!!! Even though we have yet to arrive to the FSM, Courtney already found us a place to live:

JUST KIDDING! This is an old hut on display inside the Polynesian Cultural Center.

This concludes my first official blog post. There should be more exciting input from me on our blog no later than 2020.
