So 2013 is pretty much half over and I haven't written anything since January. Whoops. 2013 has shaped up to be pretty cool so far. It's been highlighted by:
A visit from Mudder, The Man, and Justin.
Some pretty awesome hikes.
A visit from my good friend (and old roomie), and some more hiking!
Seven years of amazing.

After seven months of strictly regimented training and eight years in the making, my husband graduated last Friday and is now officially a firefighter for the City and County of Honolulu!
It's tradition that a loved one be the one to pin their badge on them. With tear-filled eyes, I got to pin my husband's badge. It's a moment I will never forget and cherish always.
We are so thankful thatHazelWeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07714262601776348434noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654450871956935955.post-3615966001879865362012-09-04T00:56:00.003-10:002012-09-04T01:04:30.648-10:00Small Things
I lived out one of my favorite quotes this weekend to celebrate my 33rd birthday. As I posted before, I decided to take part in the Birthday Project movement. I highly recommend it! This was definitely one of my most memorable birthdays to date!
My goal of 33 random acts of kindness was pretty lofty--especially since I live on an island where traffic is a mess! I decided to break it up into HazelWeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07714262601776348434noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654450871956935955.post-48147806363947070282012-09-01T07:01:00.004-10:002012-09-01T07:01:38.455-10:00Another year.

Thank you, Lord for giving me the privilege of this life you gave me. I'm eternally grateful. It's the best birthday present anyone can give me.
Have a blessed day, everyone! ♥

My 33rd birthday is coming up in a couple of days. Yes, you read that right--I'm going to be 33, and it's gearing up to be the birthday that I'm most excited about to date. For one, it'll be my first birthday that I'm celebrating here in Hawaii. And two, it's going to be the first birthday in which I celebrate in the spirit of The Birthday Project!

In just three years, we've already had some pretty big adventures. I can't wait to see what God has planned for the rest of our lives. I love you, hubs.

So here's another recap post!
Has it really been April since I last posted? No posts in May or June...whoa! Life gets in the way so easily. And in the last few months, much has happened at our pod and in the lives of our loved ones.
Here are the highlights:
My littlest brother and my mom came to visit us in May. It was only for 5 short days, but it was amazing to spend time with them and HazelWeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07714262601776348434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654450871956935955.post-44015016400199755512012-04-29T20:16:00.000-10:002012-04-29T20:18:36.031-10:00Into the Fire [Academy]
It's finally here! The hubs finished his first week of training. He will be the first to tell you that It's not going to be an easy seven (yes, SEVEN) months. It's a grueling 28 weeks broken up into EMT and then Fire training. The class is large enough that they have to split, one half does EMT first, the other Fire and they switch midway through.

The hubs got an email in November from Human Resources at HFD. They asked if he could resubmit his information to them. We thought that the hire list that he got on had expired, so this was a HUGE break. So hubs went off to HFD Headquarters the very next day with his papers.

Sorry for the lack of posting. Things have been pretty busy over here. Here's a recap of what went on in October.
Picked up a part-time job at a local craft store. It's been a month, I survived my first 40% Off Coupon wekend and I'm still alive. And I still like it. Ask me again if I still like it after the holidays are over. hahaha

My life changed forever three years ago today. There are still so many things I wish I could say to him, but I know he's better where he is now. As painful as it is, I know that God knows best and that my father isn't hurting anymore. I miss him dearly every day.
I love you, dad.

Our beloved big guy, Mushu, turned four yesterday! I can't believe he's already four! And HUMONGOUS! He used to be so tiny! See?
Here we are with him at Christmas 2007, just a couple of weeks after we got him. I think he was 13 weeks old here.
In honor of his fourth birthday, we gave him four BK Minis. Haha! Happy birthday! [Don't get used to it, bud. This isn't grandma's house.
