A little something to make my day...

Aaron came home with these the other day...

And it really made my day!

Weekend in Waikiki

Aaron surprised me with a two night stay in Waikiki for our 1 year anniversary! It was the perfect way for us to spend some time together!

I love you Mr. Bobik!

Seattle

This is where we are headed in 31 more days...

4th of July

This year for the 4th we watched the fireworks from the Turtle Bay golf course since Aaron works there. We were able to take some carts out and BBQ on the course before the firework show started. It was an amazing show and such a relaxing night!

After the firework show at Turtle Bay, we went back to our apartment and lit some sparklers. We had lots of fun with those...

(As you can see in this last picture, it got pretty smokey!)

We hope you enjoyed your 4th of July as much as we did!

My 21st Birthday!

This year was my big 21st birthday! Aaron had an awesome night planned for me! Originally Aaron had planned to take me to a restaurant called Jameson's in Haliewa, but last minute we decided to just get a pizza and eat it on the beach (one of our favorite things to do in Hawaii). Aaron told me that when we were done eating we were going over to our friend's Brett and Cassi's house to have cake. I told me that I wanted to go home and change first. The minute I opened our front door, I heard several voices yell "surprise!". I had no idea that Aaron had planned a little surprise party for me. Lots of our close friends were there to wish me and happy birthday and eat my favorite cake from Ted's Bakery... Chololate Haupia Cake! I can honestly say that it was a perfect birthday!

Aaron made me another one of his homemade lei's... love them!

He also decorated the front of our apartment...

PTG... stands for pony tail girl. He has called me this ever since we started dating because I always wear my hair in a pony tail.

My Graduation

Here are some pictures from my graduation. Most of my immediate family got to come out for it except for my little sister Tessa and Mom and Dad (Missed you guys!). Big shout out to Jory, Tricia, Jordan, Caitlin, and Aaron for making my day so special!

Graduation Banquet... Aaron actually made me the Lei that I am wearing in these pictures!

Getting ready to Graduate!

Ended with a nice lunch at Lei Lei's!

Aaron's 26th Birthday!

Aaron turned 26 this year on April 28th... and yes I am just now doing this post. We have had the most hectic past couple of weeks. This year I wanted to do something really special for Aaron, so I planned a surprise dinner at Lei Lei's for him with our close friends. I can't believe he didn't catch on after all the texting I was doing planning this thing! Here are some pictures from the night!

And this is what I got him for his present... a yellow G-Shock watch just like he wanted!

It's Official...

I'm a college GRADUATE!

... and it feels soOo good!

Happy Easter!

Wishing you and your families a very Happy Easter!

"And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins." 2 Nephi 25:26

Easter

I so badly want an Easter tree... and I found the perfect one from Williams-Sonoma!

I love these Easter egg ornaments too!

Graduation!

Only 5 more school days until I graduate from here...

What am I going to do with myself?

6 Month Anniversary

Here are some pictures of us staying at Turtle Bay for our 6 Month Anniversary, which happened to be on Valentine's Day weekend. There is nothing better than spending time together!

We got a little sun burned!

Dinner at Lei Lei's

HaPpY VaLeNtInEs DaY!

Valentine's Day is always so much fun for me! Today I have been thinking back and had a sweet memory of my dad come to mind. I remember last Valentine's Day my mom had sent me a nice package with a card. Each person in my family signed it. Next to my Dad's name he wrote: "OUQTINVU". I will never forget that. My Dad is such a sweet heart and I love him so much.

Just a reminder that Valentine's Day isn't just about your one and only. To me it is also a day to express how much I love my entire family. They mean everything to me. Talking to each member of my family today made me feel so grateful for them. Whenever i get a little lonely here in Hawaii, all I have to do is look at some photos and think of them. A warm comforting feeling always overwhelms me when I do this. They are my best friends and I love them.

P.S. I love my sweet husband who has already given me chocolates and balloons today. He keeps telling me that this is the best Valentine's Day because I am his Valentine!

Me and my Sweetie!

Me and my family!

This Valentine's Day.

This Valentine's Day, Aaron is taking me to Turtle Bay for a night! He's such a sweetheart and I can't wait to spend our first Valentine's Day together!

Let's go to the movies...

Can't wait to go see this new flick with Aaron tonight!

Joke of the day...

I had the flu last week... so i went and bought some popsicle's. Not ones with ice cream or ten flavors in one. Just the original orange, cherry, and grape. That's what I always had growing up when I would get sick. After eating my first one, I was surprised to see a joke written on the stick. I had to share the joke with Aaron... which led to him telling me some of his favorite jokes. Here's one of my favorites that he told me.

Why did the orange go to the doctor?

...because he wasn't PEELING well!
