Ok, so my life was kinda hectic when we first moved here. Moving the kids and dogs around from airport into a dog friendly hotel. Complete with all our luggage, getting a rental car, putting huge dents in the rental car, having someone hit our rental car and run away. To getting our house, returning the rental car and hiding the fact that its jacked up, then picking up my truck in SD, then the wifes car in LA by train. Im at work getting ran and swam like a dog ( i dont like running btw). Finding a gym to train at and getting my ass kicked. Movers broke my expensive fishing kayak among other sentimental shit. To making sure dinner was done by 10pm lol. That was all in a span of about 3 weeks. And to top it off that isnt even all the sttuff weve been through. Stress much? but amongst the chaos we got do do some pretty awesome stuff and truly bond as a family. Disneyland, in & out burger, other fancy restaurants (olive garden, and sizzlers), D&B, and Seaworld among the few. You really gotta "embrace the suck" as they say when life gets complicated. Not hard just complicated. Even though we were busy as hell, we always embraced the suck and still made time to do stuff together as an Ohana. With technology and the lack of social face to face time, America is slowly forgetting how to bond like the good old days. I remember when my dad use to make it mandatory to sit together in the living room as a family and watch tv. Simpsons was cool but he mostly watched the news so guess what? Mom would make it mandatory that we eat on the dining table together each meal. How was i suppose to throw away the vegetables that i didnt want to eat if the entire family is watching each other dine. As mundane as that may be, it is still tradition. Lets try and maintain the good family traditions that we were raised on. Sooner or later everyone has to move on, one way or another. Peace....
