Richard Moved To Hawaii.....RICHARD MOVED TO HAWAII!!!!!

 Levi and Uni were married on January 27, 2014 on Kauai.

Rich flew out there to be with them and not even 4 months later now lives in Kauai!

He and Angela divorced (not because of Hawaii), his youngest, Luke graduated

and he has been wanting to be hired on with a company so he could work

on retirement and have insurance coverage.

I don't know if he really thought he would get a job, but went ahead and put

some applications out there in Kauai.

Well...the St. Regis Princeville Resort hired him!

go here to see the resort

It's been a journey preparing to go.

He sold a lot of things, gave a lot away, spent time with his children

a family, packed his last few remains into his Snappy truck

and wrapped up some last minute plumbing jobs.

I think it was an emotional roller coaster for him at times, 

but I would remind him he can always come back.

By the time he was at the airport though he was pretty excited, but

that is when I started having a hard time...couldn't believe he would be so far away.

I drove him to the SLC airport where he caught the 11 am flight to Seattle, WA.

There he caught a flight to LA and then over the great Pacific

where he arrived at the Lihui airport at about 7:30 pm his time.

We were at the airport early enough that we could visit before he boarded.

  Larkie and her children were there with us.

As we were saying our good-byes and he had his backpack on said,

"I feel like I am leaving on my mission again"

 We said good-bye and walked away... but I wanted one more picture,

I blew him a kiss good-bye and walked away and that is when I 

started to cry.

I felt better when he sent me a text and every time he calls.
His apartment is not available till June 1st so every day is a chore to figure out where 

he will be sleeping for the night,

the 1st night was at the Kauai Beach resort, 

his boss let him rent a furnished condo for 2 nights,

then a Bishop invited him to camp at the Father and Sons outing in his hammock

where they learned to through fishing nets into the ocean and tug-o-war,

now a 10x10 bungalow at the Anahata Sanctuary-A Spiritual B&B retreat

for a wk and then into the main part of the house at the retreat.

He said the sanctuary has outdoor showers and after I saw the multiple

shower heads and tub in one area I asked if he baths with other people,

"Yes, we just aren't suppose to look"

"WHAT...no way"

He was kidding of course...but really....?
