Where has the time gone? Our 1yr Anniversary in Maui!

Wow. First of all I have to say. I love my husband more than anything imaginable. I am the happiest with him. He is my other half. We, together, took a leap. We jumped pretty far out of the box you could say. It was probably the best thing we have ever done. (So far...we are still pretty young! :)) It wasn't without tears, it hasn't been without struggle or growth. We have been able to grow immensely together as friends, a team. We have had countless adventures. Chris and I have made goals of things we want to do while we are here and I swear we only have like 4 things left to do, in Maui anyway. We have had a chance to know the pretties and ugliness of the island. We have had a taste of the cultures of the locals. Just everything you get to know, love, and hate about a place that you live in I think we have had figured out within the first year. Wow. I just can't believe that i can tell my chillins that we did this. I am happy. Ya know, there is something about working just out of High School and having all your peers moms ask you what you are doing for a career and for education. All you can say Is "I don't know, or I am just working." I felt the judgement, I felt shamed and like I was not living up to my potential. This is something big like college I guess you could say. We dreamed about doing something and we made it happen, that simple. I guess surfing, zip lining, sailing, jumping off rocks into the ocean, snorkeling, sneaking into hotel pools and etc. is better than collage parties! I just hope that our children will admire us for this leap. I hope it will let them know that nothing can keep them from accomplishing their dreams. Well it has been a fabulous year. We have been blessed by the Lord. Without him, we would not be here. He put everything into place. He knew the things we needed to learn. He had his plans for us. We are just rolling with it. We have no clue where he is going to guide us next. Literally no clue. All we have decided to do is get out of debt and save and live one day at a time until there is clarity about our future. We are just chilaxin. It's maui time baby. Chris brought up how much I used to get head-aches back home, I really don't have them here. God has totally blessed my hurt body with some relief here. It's been a blessing that I haven't even paid attention to. Well here is a toast to my Husband, you are my everything. I don't want to live a day without you by my side. To God for this marvelous adventure that is not finished, for everything He has provided from friends to financial situations. Cheers to our loved ones who have supported us in this move and act of change. It would have been so miserable without your excitement and encouragement. Again I say Wow. I can't believe it. 2010, you better bring it, cause watch out - the Evans are in town.
