Life's a Beach

A catch up of our lives...since of sure all of you are sick of looking at Brian's fat lip!

A few weeks ago my good friend Paige and her Husband Glen came to Hawaii to celebrate their one year and we were lucky enough to spend lots of time with them. It was lots of fun hanging out with them at their hotel and taking them around to see parts of Hawaii.



Basically we haven't really done anything more than hang out at the beach when we can. Brian will be finishing up his second semester here in Hawaii this coming Wednesday and will start working the following Monday as an RA in our apartment complex! A job that we couldn't be more excited about! He will work 15 hrs/week and his pay is that we no longer have to pay rent!!! A major plus here in Hawaii since it is very expensive!

Here are a few pictures that we have taken these past few weeks.

Fat Lip!

On Monday, Brian had to have a mucus gland removed from the inside of his mouth. He had it for a couple months and would pop it constantly only to have it come back. After going to the doctor and finding out that he could either get it cut out or continue with the discomfort and popping it...he went with the surgery!

It looks a lot better now, thank goodness!

Has it really been a whole year!

Good news: WE STILL LOVE EACH OTHER!
I can hardly believe that we have been married for a year now! We sure are looking for the whole "downhill" part! ;) Well, this year has been one of the hardest but most rewarding and incredible experiences yet. I'm no expert on the whole married thing but I know that we have learned and grown very much as a couple. There is a lot I can say and I could possibly make you cry with all the mushy and lovey dovey stuff, but to save you from a day of puffy eyes I will keep it simple. No matter how hard marriage or life can be, no matter what is going on in your life and how bad and down you may feel, there is nothing greater than love. Love is not something that just happens to you, it is something that you must practice and practice on giving and receiving.
I love Brian and I am grateful for him and all his patience with me.

We didnt do anything to crazy for our one year, but we had a good time! Pike got me flowers, we saw a movie... and on Sunday we made dinner and our wedding cake,(scotchoroos), since we really couldnt save the top of our cake! All in all it was a great day!




It doesn't matter where you go in life, what you do ..... it's who you have beside you.
