Greetings one and all!!
As some of you may know, we live in a building rented by the Bible College here in Kauai.
This building is actually an old rest-home style care facility. It has 19 rooms, a common area or two, lots of bathrooms, good parking, etc.
The college has been renting it for-get this-a thousand bucks a month.
Pretty stinkin' crazy, ya?
So the Wailua House (as we call it) has been home to us, my folks and siblings, and around 15 girls who are students, plus other staffers.
Recently, our lease ran out and the college had been attempting to renew the lease for more money, and the idea that we would continue to work on the place-as it needs a ton of work. Unfortunately, the folks who own the property are not going to renew our lease...they signed with someone else who is going to turn this place back into a care facility.
So they wanted us out on the 15th of September...which was 4 days notice. Fortunately, the lease agreement we signed gives us 45 days, so we have a little more time then they'd like.
All in all however, we are all about to be homeless in a sense. The girls will be moving down to the church property and living in high-end safari tents like the boys do. My folks and siblings, and Su and I have no long term options at this point. So please, do be praying for us that we would find a good place to live. We are prepared to face the fact that our living situation that has been free so far may not continue to be free. Su just started at Starbucks and is enjoying it immensely. I have been looking for work for the past few weeks, but jobs have been drying up left and right...to the point of being hired, and then suddenly not being hired.
So that's the current situation here. We do have very short term housing available from different friends at church, but none are really viable options beyond a week or two.
Iiiiin other news...
Linus is doing well...our little piggy is growing a little at a time. He may be getting a baby brother...er..half-brother soon. We'll see. :) Our friends that breed piggies just had a litter and need a place for them. So we may help them out. ;)
I am facillitating a financial class at the college...it's Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace University" course which he teaches on DVD. It's an excellent course with good Biblical backing. I highly recommend this course no matter where you are with finances. It's a real eye opener, and very entertaining to boot!
I'm not sure if I've posted much about him before, but this is my scooter, Kevin.
He's a 49cc gutless-wonder...I ride him almost everywhere. This allows Su to use the car and go to Starbucks as needed, and allows me to go around and do job apps and other errands.

He gets about 80 MPG and tops out around 30 MPH. It's a real kick...also a great way to learn to ride before I get something bigger... :D :D :D The next bike will probly be named "Nigel".
I'm not sure why. It just will be. If it's a Ninja.
So that's pretty much it for now...there will be some new vids up before too long I hope...Josh (my brother) and I have been working on different vid projects. The latest one is hopefully going to get going soon...the girls spent a night down in the guys tents, and the guys stayed up in the girls house..so a one-night housing swap to get the girls used to the idea of tents. So hopefully the before-and-after interviews will go well and we'll get em down.
Anyway, that's all for now!

Andrew and Su
