Howdy, We've been gone for about a week. I think about half of that time has been spent on the plane or in the car. We just got back from Arizona: about 11 hours of driving total. Dang, I haven't been on a road trip that long since I was about 13, since you know, you can only drive so far on an island. Something I have realized is that I am actually able to read in cars on long stretches of straight roads, which they have here, compared to the twists and turns of Hawaii. I usually get so car sick, without even trying to read, but here I was o.k. :)  I have been reading Angels and Demons  by Dan Brown. Phil told me I had to read it before we go to Rome.  I am about a quarter of the way through and I am enthralled. Its about 600 pages. Trust me, if you haven't read this one, you should. My goal is to read Eat, Pray, Love before I get to Rome too, we'll see if I make it. What have I done so far in my travels? LEGO LAND- A dream for any kid who loves to play w...

It has been a while, I admit. I am sorry. I have been on vacation this week, with my husband who is on Spring break. And guess what? This is just the beginning. ;) In about 6 hours my husband and I will be getting up in the weeeee hours of the morning to fly to California (April 19). There will we will be staying with my Sister Noelani for two weeks. While we are with her, we will travel to AZ for Easter and a family reunion. Then we will drive back to CA and from there fly to Phil's Mission, Hungary, (May 3rd), but we won't stay there long, we are going straight to Italy (My dream country to visit) :) and then to Greece (where Phil's best friend Jason is doing a study abroad), back to Hungary to visit all of Phil's best friends and favorite cities in Hungary and three weeks later we are flying back to the states, but this time to Utah (May 24),where we will stay for 1 freakin month) and visit our lovely family friends and such. While in Utah we will drive up to Rexburg...

Why is it the best Monday ever, you ask? Because it is my birthday, April 4, 2011 and I am 23. There I said, and I am proud :) This is an accomplishment since, you know, I was telling everyone that I was 21 six months after I turned 22. The worst part was I didn't even realize it, it was like my 22nd birthday never happened because it was spent on an airplane. This year I am soaking it in :) I love birthdays , you know why....because you get 100 notifications on facebook from friends telling you how much they love you. Because you get awesome presents from your husband who spoils you. Because your friends go out to lunch with you, thanks Amber :) Because some awesome person attacks your door with balloons...someone you are not sure of, but who you love because they made your day. Because your family calls to wish and sing you happy birthday, this is probably one of my favorite parts, especially if the kids are singing too :) Because you get to ...
