Hawaii

Mike and I went to Hawaii last week and of course had a wonderful time! It was nice being away from everyday life and spend quality time together! We went for our 10 year anniversary (about 8 months early)! It was my first time going to Hawaii and it was beautiful!

We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center to watch the show and go to the Luau. It was pretty cool to see...but I do have to say now that I've seen it, I don't really care to see it again!


And of course we went to Pearl Harbor! It is so sad going there and knowing what these men and women went through....it was very touching! We went there 3 days after the 68th anniversary!

USS Arizona...soooo sad!

Our view from our room....Beautiful!

The sunset on the beach...it was paradise!

Our shuttle driver found out it was our anniversary and got us leis. On our shuttle drive over to the Polynesian Cultural Center, we stopped at the Dole Plantation. It was pretty cool seeing all the pineapple, and eating the pineapple ice cream...delicious!

My handsome hubby!

Me.

I know I hate when I read other blogs and everyone is talking about how wonderful and great their lives our....so I apologize if this post makes you want to throw up! LOL...I do have to say though that I am grateful that I have such a wonderful hubby and LOVED going to Hawaii!

Thanksgiving 2009

This Thanksgiving was very relaxing. My mom, dad, Matt and Heidi and their kids came over. Mike experimented with his new Infrared Turkey fryer and it was delicious! My mom made a turkey, too, just in case ours got jacked up! I made homemade rolls which was another first. They turned out pretty good thanks to Katie's recipe! After everyone left it was time for a nice long nap! (Nothing like stuffing your face and sleeping afterwards! LOL) It was so relaxing, these are the only pictures I took. I was bummed after everyone left when I realized I neglected the camera! I have a lot to be thankful for this year! I have a wonderful husband, 2 beautiful kids, and an awesome family who helps me out whenever I need them! Even when things seem unfair, I'm very grateful for everything my Heavenly Father has given me!
