Home, 'sweet as' new home!

Yesterday I completely moved into my new house, which included moving out of the old house and settling into the new place. I moved to a spot in Laie called the Point. It took all day, and included setting up a bunk bed, rearranging stuff, etc.

I am staying with 3 other guys. The landlord, Wes, is an IT
manager at Turtle Bay, which means that we have about 6 computers in the house, mine bringing it up to 7. He is also an entrepreneur, getting his hand in on trading on ebay and running the workings of the video business that is run by the other guys.

Fernando, a Samoan from Salt Lake City, supports himself doing video editing. He has a lot of potential and already has some good clients, including Fiji, a very popular reggae star. He owns a very nice camera, which is always helpful, and he really loves doing video. He is very optimistic about his business.


Joe just got back off his mission in Samoa. He is also a Samoan from Salt Lake. He works security at Turtle Bay, and helps out with the video things. He really is a lover of video and media, and is willing to some dirty work. I met him at my ward, and we talked about video and then when he told his roommates about my graphics, they got excited and offered for me to move in.

Here is a view from the inside of the front room, looking out over Laie Bay. This is what you see from the deck when you step out of the door. In fact, I'm looking at this view right now!
Here is the inside of the front room. Thats a big screen TV, complete with Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 to satisfy all my gaming desires (yeah right!). As you can see I'm watching the Olympics, beach volleyball...GO USA!
The two fish tanks. The one on the left is a fresh water tank, and the one on the right is a salt water tank. Wes and some of his buddies sometimes trap fish from the reef here off the point.
Here is a photo of a sunrise on the point, a very short walk from the house.

Looks like an ideal apartment and all your roommates seem to have similar interests and good connections! Very nice!
