I can’t believe I let Christmas pass without a post. Ah well, it gets crazy! This was my first Christmas at home with my family in four years. Did I mention Christmas Day is also my mom’s birthday? Well, it was a good one. Now it’s time for another New Year. Where did this year run off to? I’ve yet to decide if I will make any resolutions. I still have a few more hours to decide, right?

Have a fabulous (and SAFE) night while you ring in the New Year! Here’s to YOU in 2009!

Haleakala at Sunrise, Maui, Hawaii, 2007

Monday, July 14, was our 3 year anniversary. It’s amazing and sad how quickly time passes when you are enjoying your life together. Shouldn’t it be the other way? Why does time just drag when we are miserable. I wish life would slow down a bit so we could soak up so much more of the wonderful, happy times.

We have had a really incredible three years together. We began with two weddings, lived on a sailboat in Key West until Hurricane Katrina came through and sank it. Next we were homeless before moving to Oahu, Hawaii for 2 truly amazing and breathtaking years. It was really a 2 year honeymoon!! Camping on and exploring the other islands, snorkeling, hiking and beautiful beaches. Taking in all that Hawaii had to offer. Now we are settling in on the East Coast, and can’t wait to see what’s to come.

Our life has been such an amazing blessing. Not always perfect, sometimes things get hard, but in the words of Hannah Montana, “Life’s what you make it, so let’s make it rock!!”
