Ten on Ten

I stumbled upon the Ten on Ten Project yesterday from the blog, A Bit of Sunshine, just in time for today--October 10! What a wonderful way to celebrate a day. It just so happened that my husband was off from work today. Here's how our day went.

[Greeted by a rainbow this morning.]

[Getting inspired while having my morning coffee.]

[Took the dog with us to check out our future neighborhood.]

[Our future neighborhood is a flyover. The pup was not a fan.]

[But it does have a dog park with beach access. He enjoyed his first time at the beach!]

[Refueled at BK.]

[Made our way from the leeward to the windward side of the island. Hello, Kailua Beach.]

[Feeties in the sand.]

[Driving home up Kalanianaole Hwy.]

[Blessed to have lived through another beautiful day.]

Happy Ten on Ten, friends!

Three. ♥

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.

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!
