Awaiāulu ke aloha

We first met while working Ho'omāka'ika'i summer program at Kamehameha schools. We were friends first, and like two lā'i in a hilo braid, we fell in love. Initially separated by the Pacific ocean (Manaola resided in WA), we gave our long distance relationship a fighting chance, and we finally relocated to Seattle, WA in 2018 to be together. In 2020, we adopted our sweet American Staffordshire terrier, Bruce, and we have been loving our little family.
