Hawaii Here We Come..



Look at those two, only minutes married and anticipating a life ahead as husband and wife! The next day we would hop a plane, two starry eyed honeymooners who's only worries were...oh please, we had no worries!! We were the ones with the shiny rings and the stupid smiles that would only lead strangers to ONE conclusion.

Cut to today. Almost two years together, but somedays it already feels like a lifetime since so much CHANGE has occured. For me NEW everything and oh yeah a CHILD! That little life that pretty much turned my world upside down, altered my view of the world and introduced me to a love I never knew existed. Gone is the bright eyed honeymooner, here is the teary eyed new mommy leaving her baby behind for a whole week! I am definitely looking forward to a lot of things on this trip - taking long showers, reading (really!), sleeping til 7am, maybe even 8, enjoying several quiet dinners and moments with my husband and soaking up the Hawaiian sun and sunsets!

I realize many of you moms reading this can relate. Remember the first time you left your first baby for the first time!? So this is where I turn to all my blogging mommies, even if I know you personally or not. I would welcome your words of wisdom, encouragement and years of experience you have on me. Please comment, I would appreciate it!!

Brian at Breakaway '08

Brian had a blast at Young Life's Breakaway Camp on the Oregon coast last week! I have to admit I was envious of his time there, seeing all the pictures brought back great memories of my summers in San Diego at camp - HOLLA to all my fellow GCom kids (Alex, Julie P., Julie D. you were there!, Michelle, Abby, Cherie, etc)!

Here are some of the highlights...

Lovin' LA

It's crazy that we've already been here just over a week, time flies as always when we're here. It's been fun - spending time with family and friends, watching one of my closest friends get married, eating, watching Good Day LA, shopping, EATING and relaxing. I love vacation...it's good to be out of the routine and normalcy of the day to day! Life doesn't get much better. Brian left us on Wednesday to take a group of kids to camp. We miss him but are looking forward to a few more days of fun in the sun!

I'll post pics when we get back, but here's one to wet your appetite haha...take the girl back to the city and watch out!! Here's me, my best girls and my best LA look...i've still got it! Can't take the city out of this girl. Thanks for the pic Hollie!

Fun Fourth!



We had a fun and relaxing 4th of July and hope you did too! Cheesy new mom had TWO red, white and blues for Olivia to wear, I only got one on film. We had our morning coffee at Starbucks then later that day Brian worked at our county fair selling food for Young Life so the kids could raise money for camp! Then we ended the day with a family BBQ. Good times!

Not sure about the dirt!





Our little firecracker!
