Hi everyone! I'm so sorry it has been so long since our last post. The new year has been so very busy for us both. We just got back from a weeks vacation at home with the family. We enjoyed it so much. It always makes it harder to come back here. We just feel so far away...we ARE so far away!

I can't believe that one week flew by so quickly. We really enjoyed getting to spend the time we did with all of our favorite people. We also enjoyed the food...we had lots of things to check off our "to do" list and we got most all of them done:

Olive Garden: check

Krispy Kreme: check

Crawfish: check, check

Ichiban sushi: checkity check check

Meme's fried fish: super check

Abita Beer: check

King cake: um, not so lucky. No check.

We just wanted to let everyone know how much we appreciated everyone that came out to see us while we were visiting. It's not always easy with all the busy schedules and work, etc.

And I got plenty of bargain shopping in too! Mom and I had a blast shopping the sales at Hobby Lobby and all the little boutiques. I can't wait to be back home and shop with her all the time! I stocked up on all my supplies for my upcoming craft show. Yippee!

We love and miss you all. Counting down the days until freedom!

XOXOXO

Merry Christmas People

Hello to everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your holiday as much as we have. Yesterday, Charles got home from duty and we opened our gifts under the tree from Meme and Pappaw! Thank you so much for our goodies! I got an amazing new camera that I love!

Then we laid around the house until about six when we went with some friends to eat Italian at Buca di Peppo. After dinner we headed to watch the new Sherlock Holmes movie. It was long but really good! We had a lot of fun.

So here we are on Saturday. The day of my birthday. I am 23 today! We are planning on hiking Diamond Head with some friends and then BBQing later. I am so excited!

I also bought our plane tickets home earlier. I was waiting for the prices to drop from the $600's. Finally, I gave in and decided to "name my own price" on Priceline.com, and I'm sure glad I did! We got 2 roundtrip tickets on American Airlines for $749.66! Can you believe it???

Well, for those of you who don't know....that is an absolute STEAL for Hawaii airfare. My mother in law claims that I am a genius and I have to admit that I agree with her!

So here is our "schedule" for the loved ones back home:

We will arrive in Houston at *

8:25 am on Monday, January 11,2010. We will spend all day Monday and that night in Houston for those who'd like to meet up with us! Tuesday, we will drive to Baton Rouge and spend the rest of the week until Sunday when we will drive back to Houston. Our plane leaves to come back to Honolulu on Monday morning, the 18th.

We are so excited to come home and see you all! We love and miss you!
