Life as we know it







Life in Hawaii is great. School, school, school; Work, work, work = our lives. The ocean is beautiful - everyday as we pass it by, biking along to begin our daily routines. Every once in a while we have some fun. A couple of months ago we had a Honolulu getaway. We had such a great time! But nonetheless, we are so blessed. Prayers were definitely answered- the tsunami came to us and caused no damage. You never think that will happen to you - that in a matter of hours you have to pack your life up and head for the hills and pray that your home, your community do not get too demolished. We were too lucky. Heavenly Father was truly looking out for us.

Counting down the days til my parents come visit Shaun and I in Hawaii! I miss everyone in the mainland - family, friends, the quad cities, Arizona, old hangout spots, even Idaho.

Shaun's 24th Birthday





My lack of posts are a great example of my horrible habit of keeping up to date and in touch! Sorry! So LOTS has happened - I will try to update you in a random series of updates!! First, if you don't know I held a surprise 24th birthday party the Friday after his birthday! It went really well!! Shaun was soo surprised, he STILL thought we were going to Honolulu!! Haha silly husband! Jeremiah and Michelle Taylor seriously made everything happen! THANK YOU FRIENDS!! They made the most amazing dinner (Shrimp Alfredo -Shaun's favorite) and an amazingly beautiful super man themed cake!!!! So many people came (even those we didn't invite and ate our food and left without saying a word to us!! Don't get me started) and thank you friends that came and celebrated Shaun's birthday!!! (His actual birthday I made him a cake - not as good or pretty as his superman one!!!)
