5 Years

Well five years have come and gone-very quickly.  I didn't have any pictures of our actual wedding on my computer so I'm sharing some of the honeymoon.  It's really okay, because this was the BEST part of getting married.  We went to Hawaii!  Since we really aren't loungers, we pretty much packed our 7 day excursion with tons of island adventures.  I absolutely fell in love with Hawaii and I sort of left a piece of myself there.  To this day, I still talk about moving there and for now, I have Artie committed to retiring there.  There is no way to describe the beauty of the people and the place.  I loved being on island time too-since I'm always late-I was never late there! (except for the one time we went snorkeling and Artie got to close to the coral bled all over and we missed our bus back to the hotel!)  I could definitely go on and on about Hawaii.  I can't believe it has already been five years since I was there.  We just had the most fantastic time, trying new things and exploring different adventures.  I guess our lives have gone the way of our days in Hawaii.  We are still on adventures and trying new things!

Going parasailing-It was terrifying and I will never do it again, but at least I can say I did it in     Hawaii!

             Riding the train at the Dole Plantation-they had the BEST pineapple ice cream!
