Head in the clouds...
sooo much on my mind lately....soo many decisions for Chris and I to make...So many. And we have little amount of time to do so. How to know what is the right decision? Well, that i guess we just have to give up to God in good ole faith and trust. Ugh....drinking my coffee and contemplating these things...My best friend just had a baby too, and I think being NOT there is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life. I have been very emotional lately (poor Chris) just wanting to be there to give her ice, get the dad to be coffee or whatever errands they might need, and being a photographer...there is the desire to capture this milestone in their life. This milestone also being my milestone in a branch off sort of way. Being an Auntie and all. Ah man...This ocean you guys, it's HARD. There is a lot of heart ache that goes on...a lot of tears, a lot of hopes and wishes...no regrets..but just feeling very helpless and or left out. Basically I got hit in the face with the this is life pie. Everyone grows up - everyone keeps having milestones...I just have to embrace my life..live in the moment and treasure it and be happy for everyone, rather than sad for myself that I am not there to share in their joys. Ahh although the Ocean may be a burden in those ways...I am SOO grateful for all it has forced me to learn!! And it feels soo dang good!! :) hmm well it's crazy to think that the next thing in our life would be to settle in a place on the mainland, with our things - and begin a family. Soo many thoughts about the future..especially going through my BFF's joy of starting a family! Ahh, I have desperately desired a baby since basically our I Dos...and we are here to be selfish before starting a family. So yeah..this adventure is coming to an end and the thoughts are "Wow, are we ready?" and every question you could ask...hah. hmm what else! Oh!! Have you watched "The Last Song?" I played piano from the 4th grade to the 11th. From the 11th on to my 22nd birthday It was always there for me when I needed it! It has been 1.3/4 years since I have had the ability to release on my piano, plunk, play...what have you. I read "THe Last Song" By Nicolas Sparks before I watched the movie and just totally Bawled my eyes out!! A lot of it had to do with the events in the book...but a lot of it had to do with the passion of the piano. I have been desperate for it. So I called my Dad and asked him if I was allowed to take it whenever I want (as far as what kind of place we get...) and he said "Of Course!!" ahhhh Dad!!! Isn't he great! Another thing that has burdened my heart...every co-worker of mine is going through something horrible. Abuse. More Abuse. Death in the family. Death of a pet. ugh...it's yucky. I feel sooo grateful for everything I have. I am soo blessed. Well I had to get it out...cause my hubbs can't take anymore, by BFF has a newborn and my Mom is moving into a new home soon! Thank goodness for God, who is my constant, and then this blog! hah.

(Sorry I was without Internet for the past several days...So here are some images to make up the last of my August Break...)
Last Weeks Weekend Bliss...
(On our Lanai)
What a wonderful two days off…although I may have done almost nothing but clean on Wednesday, It was all completely fabulous. It was lazy, productive and just healing. I got to drink cheap red wine while writing in my journal…get this…AS the sun was setting!! I thought it was pretty great.
On Wednesday I begun the morning on the deck with my book and my kitty man. I got all the house cleaning done, the things that have been hanging over my head all week, things that have been stressing me out and making me feel like an incapable wife. Finally having time to actually bring out the swiffer and 409 it ended up being oddly therapeutic. I had time to even marinate steak for dinner and bake brownies for dessert, although when Chris came home he was not hungry, so he took me out for a date to get coffee! I dressed up and everything, I feel like it’s been ages since we left the house when it was dark to actually go somewhere other than work or errands. I was wearing my skinny jeans with a short summer dress over, and my Gold key diamond necklace Chris got me for our Anniversary. I felt pretty; I haven’t felt pretty in a while. It was nice. Now I feel prepared to begin a full work week! House clean, husband happy and I’m debriefed and refreshed.

Sleep Sweet Baby Calvin..
My Best of all Best Friends is having a baby any minute now. She is Due TODAY!!!! She JUST got my package so - I can put these up. HOURS and hours of thoughts and prayers for the Eschbach family as I have been crocheting this yellow baby afghan. I was soo happy that it turned out so well. Only the best for Baby Calvin. Can't wait to meet this lil guy. Hoping this blanket will help him sleep sweet.
It basically fit me!!! It's pretty big!
Date with the mister :)
This week our days off were highly interrupted by life. Ya know, those un-expected happenings that makes your smile turn into a pity party whine? hah. Well, Chris happened to get friday off, and last minute a co-worker of mine said she would work a few extra hours for me! YAY! So we had a morning and an afternoon with one another. SOO great :) So we slept in and drove to Kihei to a pet store we had wanted to visit. We got to play with kitties! Then we went to a beach we hadn't visited before and just watched the waves crash for about 5 minutes....we are ancy people!! Chris got me some Baskin Ice Cream that he owed me for not yelling at him during my toe surgery...haha. Then we just headed home and lazed...soo nice. Just the little ounce that we needed to make up for lack of time together. Thank you Sofia for those extra hours!!!
My date with Ileta!
The other day my friend and I made last minute plans to go snorkeling! I had mentioned how I hadn't visited the ocean in AGES and was dying to take a dip!! So she picked me up from work, we went to pick up some candy and champagne and drove to Honolua Bay. It was soo refreshing to get in the water, plus I got to try out my new flippers :) Ileta was teaching me about the fish and the sea creatures! It was so neat to know what I have been looking at all along! She said lets go find a turtle...and we did! hah. HUGE, male beautiful clean and healthy turtle came right up to us! He was a vision. (most turtles these days have growths from our oils and the waste in the water...these growths might as well be cancer to them. try using ocean friendly sunscreen and NEVER touch a turtle.) Anyway! We had a BLAST and soo enjoyed the water. We then opened the bubbly and soaked up the sun!
