Sobbing Hot Mess, Party of One?

Is there a Sobbing Hot Mess out there, party of one?
Oh, wait! Yah, that's me! ='(

[This was me today, pre hot mess]
The hubs is currently on a plane. Laying over in Seattle, but ultimately bound for Honolulu International. It's gonna be a long summer.


But through all this, I can't help but thank God. Because I know that He places obstacles in our path so that we can rely on Him to help us get through them. So this is me, placing my heart in His hands. I know He will keep my husband safe and He will help us through this wait. And we will both come out of this stronger and happier... and in Hawaii together. =)


The Lord knows best and I will keep praising Him.

Hogwarts. Yes, HOGWARTS!

I finally got to see Hogwarts at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure. I got to geek out while the hubs pretty much just let me. He's never read any of the books nor seen any of the movies. So this pretty much sums up his experience:

The best part of the day wasn't Hogwarts, though. I got to spend some wonderful quality time with my hunny.

A week ago today...

This happened...

[Taken by the awesome & talented Jana Morgan]


Our friend, Jana, was in town from Maui to photograph our friends' wedding and visit with her in-laws. She was also kind enough to take portraits of the hubs and I. We went and took pics at Disney's Boardwalk. It's a special place for us--it's where we had our first date and where the hubs proposed. These pics mean so much more to us now that we're moving. Check out Jana's blog for more pics from the shoot.

This past week in pictures [and captions]

Life happens so fast. That is my motto and I'm sticking with it! Here's what happened this past week.

The photo above was taken at our friends' wedding rehearsal. They got married in their backyard and the hubs and I, along with some more awesome people, had the honor of witnessing them exchange their vows.

Miles Carter was born on Tuesday, April 19 at 9:48pm. 8lbs 10.4oz and 20 inches long. BIG boy with oh so squishy and kissable cheeks!!!

Wonderful and blessed week, indeed!

In case you haven't heard...

Two Weas are moving to HAWAII!!!

Yep, you read that correctly. Weas are movin'! This, my friends, is the main reason why I've been so MIA from the blog. Things are happening so quickly, but looking at the big picture... we have been wanting and waiting to move to Hawaii for years now.

The hubs got a new Medic job working for a company called CSC. He will be working out of Schofield Barracks, located in central Oahu. Hubs has to go first. He starts May 16, which means he leaves FL in about three weeks' time!

I, on the other hand, have to remain in FL all summer. Because of this [not so] little guy...

But with a face like that, how could you be mad at him? HI is a rabies free state, and would like to stay that way. This means the pet importation rules and laws are SUPER strict. There is a 120-day waiting period for pets entering into the state. This waiting period begins the day after their appointed lab gets the pet's blood for the rabies titer. This puts our arrival in HI to about mid-August.

Well, my bestie is getting married on Labor Day weekend and the plan was for us to fly back here for that. I figured I might as well wait until after her wedding for Moosh and I to move.

BUT ("that's a really big butt..." -- quick! name that movie!)... I do plan on flying out to HI, sans doggie, for a week in July for our anniversary. (TWO YEARS already, can you believe it?!) This way, it breaks up my wait for being apart so long, AND I won't bee too jealous that he's in paradise and I'm still stuck in FL! HA! =)

So, yes, HUGE deal for The Weas! Everything definitely happens in God's time and we are both so humbled and overwhelmed by all that is happening. I can't wait to see all of what He has in store for us!

New adventures coming soon!

I'm back! ... Sort of.

Sorry for being MIA... things have been hectic over here in the Wea household. Super crazy things going on:
1. I'm on high alert. My best friend is literally about to pop out kid. Any day now. For serious.
2. On top of that, the hubs and I are getting ready to stand and witness our good friends get married on Saturday. (I just know I'm gonna get that "Thundercats are GO!" call when I'm up there in my bridesmaid dress... that would be just my luck.)
3. Freelance is picking up (PTL!)
4. Huge things are happening for the Weas. (More on that later.)
PHEW! Yeah, craziness!
