The Stickley family adventures started in Hawaii in 2005 when Cris and Emilie were married. The real excitement began in May 2008, when Nova was born. 2 short months later, our little June-Bug joined the family from all the way in Vietnam. The next few crazy years included Emilie being deployed to Afghanistan, while Cris and the girls moved back to Hawaii, then a long year of living apart (and a lot of trips across the Pacific Ocean), while Emilie remained in Colorado to complete her Army committment, and Cris had to stay in Hawaii for his job at the University.

In the summer of 2012, little Jude joined our family, and the whole gang reunited for good in Hawaii!

Follow our adventures, as we try to keep track of life with our 3 crazy kids, while keeping our friends and family updated on the happenings here in Hawaii!

Update tomorrow

Hello all, sorry for the absence. Things have been a little crazy. After the devastating news, and the thanksgiving holiday, everything got really busy. Cris finished his very last written final EVER yesterday! Since moving to Hawaii he has been pursuing his PhD at the University of Hawaii. With the class portion of his degree finished he will now be focusing full time on his research and dissertation, along with teaching his normal classes.
Late last night i returned from a weekend conference in Las Vegas. It was a great conference, focused on "cosmetic gynecology". Basically hosted by OB/GYN's who have been driven out of their normal practice by malpractice lawsuits, and very poor insurance reimbursements. These OB/GYN's are now concentrating their skills in the cosemtic realm, doing things like liposuction and tummy tucks. It was certainly an interesting perspective.
Las Vegas was FREEZING cold (at least to this hawaii girl), and is making me think twice about my trip to Ohio next week, where i might actually die of coldness.

On the adoption front, we finally have a meeting with our agency arranged. We will be meeting with them tomorrow at one o'clock. We have no idea what they will tell us, or where we will be going from here, but we will be sure to update the website when we start to figure it out.
