ARGH....

I found out about 2 weeks ago that the person who owns the apartment I rent is selling it. My lease isn't up until June and I'm not allowed to break it. After June my husband and I only have 2 more months left here in Hawaii before we move on to a new duty station. Who on earth is going to want to rent to people who are going to be leaving within 2 months?! I would be so nice if we could get a 2 month extension on our current lease, which is what we were initially going to be doing. But... now under these circumstances we aren't sure if that is going to be able to happen. It is so frustrating!!!

R&R in Texas

I am so looking forward to my husbands R&R. I can't wait!!! It will have been 8 months since we have seen each other when R&R comes around. We have decided to go to Houston for those 2 weeks that he has off. I am really looking forward to it. We will be in Houston during the Rodeo which I am really excited about. I can't wait to see the cows... I'm not entirely sure why I love cows so much, but its a little disturbing, even to me. Hmmm I'll have to think about that a little later. They really are cute though; in my opinion! I think we are going to drive up to Dallas for a couple of days and over to Big Bend, I'm not entirely sure what is at Big Bend, but I am willing to find out. I really hope I see some tumble weed on our road trip... and free standing cactus. When I pictured Texas for the first time I thought that is all I would see, but I had to go to Arizona to see those things. I love the cactus that looks like a person. I'm pretty sure his family is excited for us to come as well.

I am really looking forward to seeing Bindi as well. That makes me so happy. I miss my Bindi puppy so very much... such a happy dog :-)

Maui

I loved Maui. I must say that. Maui is so different from O'ahu. It's much more rural, seems to be more farming, less industrial (which is a good thing!). I loved that Maui doesn't have a freeway. It was amazing how little traffic they have there. I know it is well populated, but traffic wasn't even an issue. 

We stopped along the way and it is whale season, we pulled into a look out on the way back from Lahiana and you could see the Humpback Whales breaching... it was a sight worth seeing. I took some pics, but I don't have the best zoom for that sort of thing on my camera.

We drove the Hana Highway, which was a long drive. It wasn't the greatest, but I'm glad that I did it. Took about 5 hours round trip.

Paradise Cove

One word can really describe Paradise Cove and it is... wait for it...

"WOW"

It was such a wonderful night! The events prior to the Lu'au were amazing as well. They had stand type things, where they did Lei making, spear throwing, net fishing (not exactly sure what that one is called), how to de-husk a coconut. After all that you go over to the pig pit, i guess we'll call it, where they take out the pig that they'd been cooking in the ground most of the day.

After you ate the Lu'au begins... AMAZING!!! It really was wonderful. 

For BMD

This is another one for my husband. Its just a picture of something that he thoroughly enjoys... well a place where he enjoys stuff from.

Enjoy!

For my Husband

If you ever read this hunny, this is for you:

If I could be anything in the world,

I would be a teardrop.

To be born on your eyes,

Live on your cheeks,

And to die on your lips.

I love you more then life itself and I just wanted you and anyone else reading this to know that.
