Sorry!

I am sorry for lack of posts lately. There is a reason I promise. WE MOVED! We are still in Hilo. We moved a whole .28 miles around the corner. We made the move to get out of the apartment complex where we were to get into a rental house. It has been a great move for us! These are a few of the views from our windows!

We have an avocado tree in our backyard!

A banana tree in our neighbors yard!

A Coconut tree in our yard! (Marcus wants to put Christmas lights on it for the Holidays)

Carefree from our Labors

Happy Labor Day! We headed over to the sunny side in Kona to celebrate Labor Day. We spent the day at the beach with the Navas family. We had a blast playing with their two adorable kids. Marcus and I were kids at heart with them. We built sandcastles, played in the waves, and just had fun! (We were able to do all those things that we always want to do at the beach but don't because we don't have kids.)Marcus played with their son in the ocean for hours. It was so cute to watch the two of them. Marcus is going to be an awesome dad! (Sorry, no this is not a hint of anything to come in the next nine months!) Another highlight we were able to watch four turtles come ashore to spend the afternoon just yards away from us. Thanks Navas family for sharing a fun-filled day together!

Home Sweet Home

We went back to Utah to visit home sweet home. It was wonderful to be able to spend time with family. I didn't realize how much I missed the mountains until we were back. Some highlights of the trip were....

• Getting haircut and colored
  

After.......................... Before.......

Happy Birthday to ME!

Marcus helped make my birthday a wonderful one! When I came home from work I was suprised to find these beautiful tropical flowers on the kitchen table. He is so thoughtful and sweet. Then for that evening he had made dinner reservations at a sucrumptious restraunt, Hilo Bay Cafe. I always am impressed with there presentation of the food. I had to take pictures because it was just so picture perfect. Thank you Marcus for a wonderful birthday!
