Just Great!

SO today is Sunday. Yes. Sunday.
Just so you know Pike and I are lying on our bed watching Extreme Home Makeover, which I find myself getting more and more jealous by the episode... I want to go on a vacation like the families but mostly I want one of THE HOMES they build. Not so much the kid rooms(I find them to be a little over the top... The kids grow up eventually and may not want that adorable princess room or science lab!) I just love the beautiful home from the exterior to the interior. They always seem to have that amazing yard that you can picture your children playing all day outside, having friends and family over for BBQs or just relaxing outside with a good book on a Sunday. The large openness of the front rooms and Kitchens is what I picture as an "Ideal" home. These large open rooms allow lots of light in and give a sense of peace and serenity. (Maybe I marvel these homes for the reason that for the last 5 years of my life I have been living in rather small spaces!) I have also been sick this weekend and today has been the worst...so I came home from church and tried to sleep it off, of course I couldnt sleep so I tuned into HGTV, only to make myself want a home even more! Today, they were shopping for homes on the east coast, and boy am I glad not to be living there. The homes were old and not the big open spaces that I would want. Then I started thinking to myself, I want to decorate and have nice things... but I can wait, after all, I am living in paradise!
Anyways, along with my lame day of not feeling well...I got on the internet to do my dailies, which entails of checking my blog, blogstalking, check emails, news, whiskeymilitia, facebook, cooking recipe sights,slickdeals, urban, swell, taget(who just opened 2 stores on the island!!), practically anything i can think of looking at and make wish list of all the things I want... and of course the infamous craiglist! Anyone who knows me knows that I can find great websites that offer great deals on fake designer what nots, and today I stumbled upon this great sight...http://www.dezignerfashions.com/index.html... If I had some extra cash I would get myself into trouble here, well maybe not trouble, but I definitely would find a few pretty, new and exciting wants that I would buy in a heartbeat. SO if any of you have a few bucks to spare and dont want to pay the high fashion prices for these nock-offs eat your hearts out! AND just know as you click on the add to your cart button and proceed with your information, I envy you and your purchase! But to get back at you I say this... "I live in Hawaii, have a great tan, and can go to the beach and play in the warm sunshine all day if i wanted!" :)

After sitting for a long while today, I ask myself WHY? Why do you continuously torture yourself day after day. I am addicted to wanting! As I search through websites wishing I had, wishing I could, wishing, wishing, wishing!!! WHY WHY WHY! I am going to have an intervention on myself starting today... I am going to stop wishing and dreaming about lifes what ifs, I am going to start loving what I have! After all I have a lot more then i need! I have health, beauty, skills and talents, an amazing loving husband, along with an awesome loving close family and friends, have a college degree, live in Hawaii(a dream vacation destination), transportation, temple marriage, the gospel, and the list goes on and on. I couldn't be in a happier position, many people would be lucky to have half of what I do!

So to end this endless rampage of babbling I want to thank everyone who has been in my life and made it better! You all deserve a great big hug and kiss from me, you are angels and have made a difference in my life! Thank you for your encouragement, love, compassion, positivity, laughs, comfort, and memories! I love you all!

Please note that I am very sick and this post was merely to kill time before I take my Nyquil and sleep peacefully.

SURPRISE!!!

My dear friend Courtney and her husband were planning a trip to Hawaii and had told me to plan on them arriving March 23rd. I was pretty excited for their upcoming visit and could hardly wait til the end of the month.
Well, what I didn't know was that she lied to me... after she told me she was coming the 23rd, she called Pike and told him that she was coming on the 12th and wanted to surprise me. I'm assuming that right after he spoke to Courtney he came up to me and said, i have a surprise for you, but you cant have it right now.(WHAT?) I asked when I might be able to have my big surprise and he told me "I dont know, it could be tomorrow, a couple days, a week..." (WHAT? I was pretty confused.) Then he made me promise that when he said that we have to go somewhere that I would just go, no questions asked. Oh and did I mention that I would have to wake up early for this surprise, I had a billion things running through my mind of what this surprise could be. I obviously couldn't figure it out...when Pike woke me up that early Thursday morning, blindfolded me put me in the car and started driving, I couldn't be happier when I was greeted with a kiss on my nose and opened my eyes and saw COURTNEY! :)

They stayed with us for 5 days and it was a blast!
Thanks for the wonderful surprise and a great time guys!
