Weekend

We had a pretty good week. Tanya met the teacher and saw the classroom where she will be doing her student teaching starting in September. The teacher talked about how teaching health is so much fun and that she will love it. I also (finally) got a job. I guess we have only been here for two and a half weeks, but it felt like an eternity trying to look for a job. I'm going to be doing marketing for a medical sleep center and am pretty excited!

To celebrate our victories, we had to go on a date to Waikiki. Although it isn't even close to being the best part of Oahu (I honestly don't understand why people spend so much time there), it is still fun to visit.

We started out going to the beach and relaxing
Then we went to Duke's, our favorite Waikiki restaurant. They have patio seating right on the beach with an amazing view of Diamond Head. They also had live music. This was the view from our table.
They have such good bar food. These buffalo wings surpassed my high expectations and don't even get me started on the pork nachos and criss-cut spicy fries.
We watched the sun set from our table
Then we went to all the little shops and just walked around. We ran into a Japanese street festival
Today we went to Hukilau and boogie boarded the afternoon away
Then we barbecued hamburglers in our little yard.
