48 Hours Without Power on a Tropical Island

WE live out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, yes we also live on the most densely populated island out here, but we still live in the jungle and sometimes the jungle takes things back. In this week's episode, we lost power for over three days. Two of those days we spent on one crazy adventure making the most of our time without power, living on what the island provided. We found a coconut, went mountain biking, and then camped out on the beach with our dogs and kids. Making the most of life here in Hawai'i.

48 hours without power on a tropical island, also known as Oah'u

🪖 If you are new to our channel, John re-enlisted in the military after being out for ten years. Kind of crazy. But John was a Marine and he loved the Marines. Afghanistan Veteran. The only reason he got out was for me. Back before online jobs or school, he gave up the Marines and allowed me to start my career. I had an amazing career spending years growing and working with Target as a Store Director. But with Covid came many changes. One of those was to stay home and homeschool Alexandra. And so it opened the door for John to do whatever he wanted to do. He re-enlisted, but this time we both agreed on the Army. But after being out so long, John had to go through Basic training again or OSUT. Six months of that followed by waiting for command sponsorship for our first OCONUS move and the family has been apart for 10 months. Crazy considering this wasn't a deployment. But we made it! We are now stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii for the next 2 to 3 years and feel truly blessed to be here!
