Some dread the Road to Hana, but I knew exactly what I was gearing up to do. It’s something I’ve considered doing before when I’ve been to Hawaii, but always filled my time with something else. I don’t mind a long drive in a beautiful place (roughly 4 hours each way) and I was most...
Yesterday, we loaded up all three cars and drove to front street. Front street is a beautiful place in Maui where you can find food, shopping, a marina with all sorts of excursions and boats, and most importantly – the best shaved ice on the planet. Our favorite is called “break wall”. When we visited...
Beautiful, right? (Other than the guts swimsuit I bought, just to gross out my family!) We had a day if relaxation yesterday, and although I’m not quite sure what we will do today – it’s sure to be great – even if we just sat and stared into the crystal blue ocean for twelve hours....
Greetings from Maui! This post may be short, (because I’m blogging with my thumb on my phone) but worth it anyway (because it’s 5:30 am and it’s quiet). I usually don’t get up at this time on vacation, but the time difference between Maui and my house, is four hours! It’s 9:30 as my internal...
As I watch my daughters grow, I often have flash backs about how I felt when I was their age. I remember feeling so sure of my path, as if it were laid out like a beautiful oil painting ahead of me, full of rich colors and beauty – I only had to take one...
If you guessed that I slept Monday night, in a deep slumber, exhausted from previous days events, you would be wrong. I tossed and turned all night, my head swimming with possibilities, some good and some bad. Even if my body relaxed and fell into some sort of sleep, my mind didn’t and this made for...
Monday I woke up frustrated. I just wanted to know if Jordan would be part of our lives, or not. I could feel that I had started becoming attached and I didn’t want to surrender my heart, unless it was happening for sure. I can’t imagine being one of the families that struggles to adopt...
Sunday I woke up anxious to get to the end of the day because we would meet Jordan. Once again, I was very thankful to be watching General Conference and feeling the spirit of the day. I look forward to General Conference every six months so I can veg in my PJ’s, watch church on...
SATURDAY Saturday was a waiting game. Luckily it was General Conference because I was needing to just sit and ponder. The words and thoughts spoken that day, helped distract me from this looming decision hanging above my head. My emotional self was so raw after fasting the day before and the adoption was forefront in...
FRIDAY I decided to pray and fast all day Friday, in hopes of gaining clarity, as we were making a very serious decision of adopting a toddler, so fast. Jon and I prayed in the morning and then went our separate ways. This was really hard, because I wanted to just sit and talk with...
