Its been awhile

So I am a huge slacker! Its been since October that I have updated the blog. Things have been a little hectic around here. Thanksgiving came and went, and was a great time. And then all of a sudden it was December! Time is definitely going a lot faster these days. As usual we were busy decorating, and gift shopping so that I could send them early enough to the mainland that it wouldn't cost an

arm and a leg. Randy was able to take a week leave and go home to visit his grandparents and meet the new addition to our family, our nephew

Jaron. That made me sad not to go with him, but after our big trip in October and my job being short staff, I stayed home. That way I could do shopping for Randy :o).

Christmas of course was great! Christmas Eve we went to the Sheraton Bowl where Hawaii was hosting Notre Dame. Of course I was cheering for the Irish, even though I was

wearing a Warrior T-shirt (I had to be safe). Randy and I both got a lot of amazing gifts from the family, so THANK YOU! After opening gifts and eating breakfast, we headed to the beach and worked on our tans. Its a hard life but somebody's gotta do, as my dad would say.

New Years Eve was great too. We stayed home, and grilled out with our neighbors. Thankfully the neighbors across the street know how to put on a fireworks' show, so we enjoyed that all night.

The holiday season was wonderful because Randy was on half day schedule, so we actually got to spend a lot of time together. Since its the new year, and he is back at work, its back to the usual. Things are going well with both our jobs, I actually got a raise (which is nice) and will be teaching some more swim classes.

I will try to keep this up to date a little more. I am hoping and praying for a lot of great things in 2009!
