Our vacation recap!

Well we have been home a couple weeks now from Hawaii and are trying to hold onto our bronze glow that we got! Our trip was fun and completely memorable. Between ziplining, snorkeling, going to a luau, and a tsunami warning in the middle of the night...this will be a trip we will NEVER forget! Our time together was so sweet and conversation about this next chapter in our lives was amazing. We are so in sync with our thoughts and feelings about becoming parents it is wonderful. The picture to the right is the view we enjoyed for 8 glorious days. Here are some highlight pictures of what we did.

Well I hope you enjoyed seeing a few pictures of our trip. Hopefully I can take some pics of our now finished nursery to show off. I know that my sis reads this sometimes and I want her to see her niece's room!

Ugh...

We leave for Hawaii on Monday...and we cannot be more excited. 9 days away, just the two of us to connect and be together in a beautiful place as we prepare for our daughter to be born. It will be an amazing time. But...

Mike has been working 6 days a week and also is working late every night too. He even has to go in on Sunday for a few hours...the day before vacation. I am so mad at his boss. On one hand, I am grateful for him having a job and the overtime money that we get but that poor man is so stressed and overworked that it is RI.DIC.U.LOUS. He comes home, drinks a beer and we watch TV. He looks so tired and I feel completely helpless. Here I am with a job that I only work 4 hours a day at and then come home to relax all afternoon and sometimes I just feel so guilty. At least when our baby is here, when I am home with her everyday, my job is being her mommy and taking care of Mike full time.

I hope that when we are gone he can put all the crap of his job and how hard he is working aside and just relax and be present. I know that right now he is constantly thinking about the projects he is working on and it keeps him from getting a great night of sleep...so hopefully after being away from it for a day or two, he will forget he even has a job.

So ugh...my ugh is for Mike. But the huge grin that I have had on my face since 1:30 when I got off work won't go away...I am so excited for this vacation. This is the first time we have gotten away to a relaxing vacation since our honeymoon.

Aloha for now everyone!!! See you in a couple weeks!

A Hawaiian Vacation

Yes, that is right...Mike and I are going to Hawaii on vacation! We booked our plane tickets on Friday night and are so happy! I have never been to Hawaii...so when we started talking about going on a little "babymoon" we both agreed that we just wanted to relax and do nothing else. No touristy stuff like we usually do. And I'm not gonna lie, that is a hard concept for me. My family was more of a "let's see everything while we are here" kind of people. So that is typically how I like to get away. We have been to New York, Disney World, San Francisco...and each time we come back so tired from walking around or sightseeing. We wanted NONE of that this time!

So from March 7th till the 15th we will be vacating our lives for 8 glorious nights in Kauai! It's almost like a second honeymoon. Ahh...cannot wait...here is a little picture of the view from where I plan on plopping myself down at!
