Introduce yourself

I am Aimee and I am moving to Puna with my sweetie, Bob and our three miniature dachshunds. We started this venture almost 10 years ago on our honeymoon to Maui. We quickly realized we were not millionaires so the next year we took advice from someone and came to the BI to check out land. That first trip we never made it to Puna but did buy two acres in HOVE. The next year we spent 8 days in Puna and hated leaving to go to the west side for the rest of our trip. We immediately started exploring land options in Puna. We finally found a lot in Kalapana Seaview right near the front with an awesome view. Seaview is one of the three neighborhoods down by Kehena for anyone that doesn't know. Lucky us, we bought just before the explosion. Our $12K lot is now worth $95-125K. We plan to built a home that takes advantage of the view. We are on a budget but want a nice place that we will be happy living in forever. We are close to finishing the renovations on our house here in Atlanta and plan to go on the market at the end of this year or Spring of next year. Then we will head over. Bob has owned a contracting company, been a plumber, and just about anything else construction related so his first "job" on the BI is working for me, building our house I have told him this job has great benefits and the boss is awesome. I am an insurance adjuster, please don't hate me 'cause it pays the bills. My real dream is a owning a gourmet cooking/food store but not sure if that will ever happen. Bob is also a musician and likes to create bizarre art. We both like snorkeling, hanging at Kehena and entertaining. I love throwing parties. We have quite a few friends that have made the move or are in the process of moving.
