I looked out the window and what did I see?!

Looking out the window is one of Morrison's Favorite things to do... he may not see popcorn popping from the apricot tree but he sure sees people pass by and he loves talking to them... it's so cute!

Living the Dream!

Living in Hawaii has been such an awesome experience. Kyle is keeping himself busy with homework and I have been keeping myself busy with ALL the other moms around... We have a cooking club, playgroups for the kids, exercise classes and a lot of other fun stuff...

I love the fact that there are so many young moms I can relate to and Morrison has so many friends to play around with.

We were so blessed to get into TVA (on-campus housing) before we even got here. A lot of people don't get in til' after a semester or two... Our neighbors are awesome! but having family around has been even better... Jason and Amber have been a great help to us and we enjoy having them over all the time. We love you guys;)!

We leave 5 mins away from the beach which is really cool... we try to go almost every day... and the weather is amazing, I sure don't miss UT weather one bit. We are definitely living the dream!

We spent New year's eve at the beach...

There's lots of playgrounds around the apts... this one is right behind our bldg. Morrison LOVES the slide...

The PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center) is such an amazing place... All the students working there do such an awesome job... I am hoping to get a job there.

should i?

First off, I want to be very clear that I love my wife and I love our blog and I fully endorse the content contained therein.
The issue, then, is that I am not sure if Sandra would fully endorse some of the things I might be inclined to write.
You see, I have a different reason for wanting to blog. I see blogging as an opportunity to hash out some of the issues or concepts I might be pondering in any given moment. I find clarity in expressing my thoughts, whether that be written or spoken. I also thoroughly enjoy any type of peer review. Blogging is a great forum for both ranting and raving and getting opinions from others.
Now that I am back in school, I am happy to say that I feel more inclined to write. The different texts and class discussions have reawakened my love of discourse and my desire to participate in it. I am very please with this new developement as I had previously been feeling, for lack of a better term, dumb. I felt, as I trudged through the monotony of life in the white collar workforce (I must clarify that this was life at work and not life at home and with my family where life was beautiful and exciting) that I was losing touch. I literally felt, as my work required a more specialized set of skills, that I was losing, or going to lose what I did not use. My vocabulary suffered as much as my sanity.
Now, I dont think Sandra would necessarily disagree with or take exception to anything I might write. She would just prefer that it not be here.
so I pose my question to our readers here.
should I restart my personal blog? I had started one while I was in school before, but the last post was some time in 08. Should I start again? Will people read it? Will you all comment? (because in the end, that is really what I am looking for, some type of acknowledgement from my peers... really...;) If I do the address will be kylepoulteronpapel.blogspot.com. (that is me on "paper" in spanish for those of you who don't know, but PAPeL for me also stands for Philosophy, Art, Politics and Life, which are some of the more prominent topics that I might be inclined to discuss.)
so let me know, should I?

The Holidays

Our holidays were awesome. We got to spend time with our families. For Thanksgiving we flew to MD/DC to visit my family and for X-mas we drove to CA to visit The Poulter side of the family.

The holidays haven't been the same to me since I moved to the U.S. In Guatemala we celebrate the Holidays a little different but the Family focus stays the same. We definitely want to bring a little bit of Kyle's and my cultures into our holidays so Morrison can learn and enjoy from both.
