My Best Friend's Wedding

I just realized that I never blogged about my [other] best friend getting married. Isn't she gorgeous? I can't even begin to tell you how blessed I am to have her. It was the most beautiful day. Here are my favorite shots from her wedding.

Me and my other best friend doing our "Amazon Woman Strikes Again" pose. We literally have so many pictures of this one pose. We even have one from each other's wedding. It's tradition. ♥

Sharing is caring!

If you guys didn't already know, my best friend is so super crafty. If crafting was a real degree, she would have a PhD. Seriously. In honor of her first 100 likes on her Facebook page, she's having this fantastic giveaway!

Someone had a birthday!

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. Back to your regularly scheduled pup food today and every day!]

Aloha!

Sorry I've been so completely MIA from the blog. It's been 2 weeks since I last updated! I've just been soaking it all up here in Oahu. Still hard to believe that we're here for good and not just visiting! Here are a few highlights from the past two weeks

Moosh on his new bed. We figured we owed him one. He's actually been adjusting well here--much better than anticipated! Something about the Hawaiian air brings out the explorer in him.

The hubs got some late birthday Pittsburgh goodies from our brother- and sister-in-law. Pretty awesome!

Seriously. He's exploring at the dog park and even playing with other dogs. It's like he's a completely different dog!

Russell made it through his long boat ride. He even got here ahead of schedule! He may have new Hawaii plates, but I'm still rocking my Orlando Magic license plate cover. hehe


That's it for now... thanks for continuing to keep up with us. "Wea" are blessed to have you here! Mahalo!

Trip Out West. Day Six.

This day finally came. After four long months, countless phone calls & Skype dates, the hubs and I (and the Moosh) are all in the same place again! We all flew out today and I was nothing but a bundle of nerves! Mushu almost wasn't allowed to fly out! We bought a crate from PetSmart that was supposed to be for a Labrador, but when we were checking him in, the agent said that he was too big for that crate and that they wouldn't allow him to fly. OH. MY. CRAP. I literally almost lost it. But thank the Lord for small miracles because they had an extra giant crate on hand. PHEW!

Needless to say, The Moosh made it in one piece! He's still a bit confused and getting used to his new home, but we are so thankful for safe travels and only minor glitches.


We can't wait to start this new chapter in our lives! Thank you to everyone that has been following our travels and supporting us each step of the way. We love each and every one of you!


Mahalo from the Weas!

Trip Out West. Day Five.

Day five is now done. Today we left our friends' place in Riverside and ventured off to Long Beach to drop our car off. But before we dropped it off, we had to get a rental. We ended up getting a Ford Edge--the same car that one of my best friends drives. Not as tricked out, but the same color. So made me think of her.

Before we could drop off our car, the shipping company required us to have it delivered to them cleaned--inside and out. We basically had to drop it off a brand new car to them, since we couldn't even place a shipping box or anything inside. Four days' worth of road grime and bug guts is not pretty, so we couldn't just take it to a drive-thru wash at the gas station. After a slight runaround with a non-existent car wash place that I plugged into my phone, I Googled and found another place not too far from where we stopped. [What did we ever do without smart phones?]

Here I am saying goodbye to Russell (named after the cutie pie little kid from Up). They said he'll be in Honolulu on Sept. 27 at the latest. Crazy!

We're now staying at a motel right down the street from the airport. We've got a huge day ahead of us tomorrow--especially Mushu! We're unwinding and my husband even made himself some new friends...

...on my toes. Gotta love him. Good night, friends!
