Maui Happily Welcomes You, FALL!!! :)

AHH! FAll is HERE!!! In Maui, Finally!! It is actually starting to be FREEZING....(well like 70's) and I am LOVING it. Love wearing my baseball socks :) We have had some beautiful storm weather, wind and lots of rain, praise the Lord! This year was the biggest drought in years!!! The tourists don't favor it too much but I don't really care :) I just bought some craft supplies the other day and I am going to attempt to make a wreath for our front door and some other christmas decorations for the house, any easy cute ideas?!? Anyway - Enjoy these fall pictures of us playing in the fall leaves while doing yard work...AGES ago!!

Proud Moment Of My Husband :)

(Chris...Love of my Life)

....This is a letter from a customer - sent to allll the right people :) 

"I recently was on vacation in Maui. While there, I purchased a pair of Ray Bans at the cannery mall location. Unfortunately an associate there pushed my new glasses into a glasses case that was too small and bent the frames. I wasn't aware of this until hours later when I put the glasses back on. Later that day my wife and I were walking front street and we stopped in a sunglass hut location where Chris Evans was working. Chris immediately began working to resolve the problem. He apologized for the other associates improper handling of the glasses and began calling other stores to see if he could locate a replacement pair. Long story short, after a couple of days Chris had tracked down a replacement pair, provided me with the correct size glasses case and turned what could have been a bad buying experience into a good one. Chris could have very easily referred me back to the cannery mall location and washed his hands of the entire problem. However he took charge of the situation and immediately began working to get the problem resolved. As mentioned, it took a couple of days. Thats because Chris ended up checking stored in the area near my home so that, just in case he wasn't able to locate a pair on the island, I could complete the exchange once I returned home. Chris went above and beyond and I truly appreciate all that he did. I am hoping this email gets directed to the appropriate personnel as Chris deserves some accolades in regards to the scenario. Good customer services seems to be hard to find these days. Great customer service is almost impossible to find. Chris provided truly great customer service and is a true asset to your company. Please pass on my thanks, once again, to Chris. Sincerely, ...."

WOW, is all I have to say....He has had a few raises since...and is VERY known now by the Big Wigs who need to know him in order for a transfer to the mainland this May. Hiphip hooray Husband!!!

Wish I may, Wish I might....

......craving a little bundle of my own today, secretly wishing the birth control isn't effective this month :) .....

Thinking of Beautiful Fall :)

Thinking....because I no longer live in the Pacific Northwest! I am blessed where I live with 80plus weather every day, palm trees and the beautiful warm ocean at my doorstep, but you can't grow up in Washington for 22 years and not be desperate for fall at this time of year. I have been craving the fall colors and leaves! This is a photo of my cousin Sarah...second from the right with her friends in (Germany??).  Isn't this just darling of friends?!? This captures a huge part of fall, being outdoors, enjoying the brisk yet beautiful weather. I also miss fall fashion!! I miss bundling in layers with all accessories!! Boots are a must as well as scarves!! I love wearing tights with skirts and darling sweaters or jackets! I miss ENJOYing a hot cup of coffee with  my girlfriends, mom and my Husband. Here I will have a hot cup but it's never been quite the same, you generally end up needing to hop in the shower from intense heat stroke!! hah. Eggnog lattes are my favorite! I cannot wait to have my first of the year. The rain. The rain is an oh so real thing of Washington. A sound and smell and feeling i desire every day! I never came to Maui to get away from the rain as everyone assumes. I love the rain. I love dancing and singing, i love playing soccer in the rain. Everything about it is blissful!! AHH! I love decorating the house with fall items as my Mother is an interior designer :) So I get that itch from her!! I don't have many things but am DYING for this beautiful home-made wreath for my door :) Check out http://lettersfromcoco.blogspot.com/ and look at her Etsy shop!! The cutest wreaths!! Guess what? I get to experience most of these things as i visit home in three weeks!! YAY!! It will be hard to be away from hubby but I am looking forward to soo many things I love about "home" :)!!! 

What do you LOVE about fall :) Where does it take you back to? 

Grace...I desperately need to know how to give it. Or when is it needed to give?

Ok, It's my neighbors. I know I need to give Grace when they are partying until 5:47AM. Or do I?? I know I need to give Grace when they so carelessly threw their nasty pants in the dryer with my whites after i spent a good two dollars of my earnings for laundry just to get them a lil dry. Or do I??? I know I need to give Grace after I know they beat the crap out of this girl and have to assume they won't do it again, their still good people. Or should I even? What would Jesus do, really guys?!? I Just DESPISE my neighbors. I think they should Rot in Hell just for the abuse...but the other things just REALLY piss me off. I have stirred up soo much anger toward them that it's probably not heathy for me. haha. I cannot wait until we can move into a home - in a neighborhood...where at least people have to follow the rules or eviction. I can't stand 24/7 pot heads and drunkards....AHH HElp?!?!? Any verses anyone that has to do with this that maybe you have needed to use in the past?! Well Cheers to those with crappy neighbors...may you get rest, may you have clean laundry and may you never witness woman abuse.

Tuesdays Thoughts :)

So I am sitting in Barnes and Nobel drinking my Pumpkin Spice Latte thinking that I will be in Washington for FALL!!!! AHH! I cannot wait to go to my "Home" in less than one month!!!

Yet Another Pumpkin Day!!

Woke up early Saturday morning to my Husband getting the living room all set up for the carving of pumpkinS! We are never up at the crack of dawn (for us thats 8:30 :) ) so I was very excited that the house was cool... still enabeling us to put on a pot of coffee!! YUMM!!! Hah. We had two pumpkins each! I was goofing off and photographing the Kitties while this was a serious affiar for Chirs! He was very focused and very into the pumpkin carving this year. So I felt like i wasn't being a team player and chimed in!!! I did A HORRIBLE job this year!! And Duh DUh  DUHHH!!! Chris did a BEAUTIFUL Job!! I was getting so frustrated and impatient...I just kept accidentally chopping pieces off that Chris had to help me toothpick back on :) Patrick (Our newest addition to the family!!) kept getting on the table and was eating the pumpkin!!! He LOVED it. Soo funny. I put him on the pumpkin to see if he would stay for a cute picture and he totally put his head in through the top! Tigger was up checking things out before hand and then got bored :) I had to drag him out from under the bed for a family photo with the finished products!! Now we just have to take photos with the pumpkins all lit up!! It was a Wonderful day.

Pumpkin Day!!!

Wednesday Chris and I went to Kula Farms to get our pumpkins!!! Sooo fun. He picked out his and I found mine and we got two for the kitties. It was kinda a weird Fall like day! Crazy!! Haha. It was overcast even though it was still very warm. This farm was darling. We both mentioned how much we miss Stoney Ridge!!! Since it's such an ordeal to get the pumpkins...we are saving the carving for another day :)
