Aloha nui loa

Here are a few more photos from our trip... so many to choose from but here are some of our favorites so far.

This has been our favorite place... we rented these chairs and totally recommend it to EVERYONE... it is a beach front view and we had our own waiter serving us... it was wonderful.

This is us 20 Feet under the ocean! We did a snuba trip and it was amazing!

This was taken on a little adventure road trip we took on our way to dinner at Merrimans. We climbed down a cliff to this little rocky area and enjoyed the most amazing sunset views.

This was taken on our dinner cruise. It was nice and relaxing and surprisingly really good food. The weather was perfect and we even saw a shooting star!

P.S. Aloha nui loa mean "Very Much Love" in Hawaiian.

Aloha

Aloha in the Hawaiian language means affection, love, peace, compassion and mercy. Since the middle of the 19th century, it also has come to be used as an English greeting to say goodbye and hello. Currently, it is mostly used in the sense of hello.

I am not adjusted to the time difference and up early this morning so I decided to post a photo or two...

Happy Thanksgiving and 12 Days to go!

Happy late Thanksgiving everyone! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday in Dallas with the Ingram family. It was wonderful... we all slept in ate way to much, enjoyed wine and great company, and had a great time. Couldn't have asked for a more relaxing holiday. It was just what I needed.

Today was back to work and tying up lose ends for wedding details... who knew there were so many details when it comes to a wedding that I have been planning for my whole life. Just kidding.. :) Anyway, I am getting so excited and can't wait to see all of our friends and family who are coming in town from far away to celebrate with us! We cannot thank each of them enough for making plans to share our day with us.

Since we are in our final days before the wedding Jay and I have reminisced on some of our memories together... I even broke out an old photo of us from before we had started dating... it is so funny to look back and remember when. We laughed and laughed and thought we will probably do this every now and then and laugh even harder at our selves and how far we have come and how young and skinny we were back then...

This is our first photo together taken the night that Jay graduated from Law School. He invited me out with his friends to celebrate and my dear friend Courtney joined me as well! It is a night I will always remember and look back on.

Until next time... happy late turkey day!

19 Days to go!

We are finally down to the teen days!!! I can't believe it! So many plans and preparation have been done and just a few more to do.

The last few weeks we have been busy... a fabulous Bridal Shower, Young Life Banquet, our 2010 Holiday Events - Lighting of The Doves, iWOW, The Ice Rink and Donoho's Jewellers Winter Wonderland, preparing for Thanksgiving, work, work and more work, and wedding plans in the middle of it all! Here are some quick photos from the last few events.

You have to see this!

This is a video you have to see! This is a video of our dear friends, Brad and Skyler's engagement. Skylers best friend hid in the bushes and taped the entire thing then took photos afterwards. What a friend and how special is that.

This link is to her friends website and their video is under "Proposals".

Congrats Brad and Sklyer!!!

Congratulations Brad and Skyler!

This weekend two of our dear friends got engaged! Jay and Brad became friends at A&M and we met Skyler this past summer when they started dating. They are perfect for each other and we are so excited to see what the Lord has in store for them and their future together!

We celebrated their engagement with a little Halloween fun. Brad and Skyler were Braaa-Z and Sky-once! Jay and I weren't that creative... I was Audrey Hepburn and Jay was a cowboy!

Congratulation Brad and Skyler! We can't wait for next November!!!!

What we've been up to...

Where should I start....

Since we are only 45 days away from the BIG day things have been very busy around here... as I'm sure you could have guessed. Since my last post Jay and I have taken dance lessons, Jay's Sunday fall soccer league started, Jay sister Jessica got married, I had my last dress fitting and bridal portraits, volunteered at Kids in the Kitchen, sent out our wedding invitations, started getting responses (which is super exciting!), received our first wedding gift, finally finished the work on the house from the water leak of 2010, and even had time to start running. Well when I say start running I mean I have gone twice, but that is more than I have run in the past year! Huge progress in my opinion.

Tomorrow we are going to have our final taste testing at The Resort and we are very excited! Things are coming together so well and we are getting more and more excited everyday. Then this weekend we are going to put together our wedding favors, hopefully get the programs printed, and a few other odd jobs for the wedding. My goal is to have everything done before Thanksgiving so we can enjoy the last week or so without lots of little jobs to worry about. I know that seems crazy, but I think we can get it done!

Here are some photos from our last month...

Well, I need to cheer on the Rangers... they are in need of my help!

Happy Hump Day!
