Yeah! I have been waiting to see pictures of your trip. Looks like you guys saw and did a ton of fun things. Thanks again for the yummy meal you brought us before leaving. It was great, and so nice. We'll have to get together soon when you guys get back to the swing of reality:-)
HOLY COW!!!! ok.. yes. I admit it. I'm jealous! LOL
the pictures are amazing (and I'm sure don't do the real things justice...)
loved the one of you guys in front of the Temple and those gorgeous sunset shots :)
How fun to be able to escape for a few days :)

Oh!!! I am so jealous! Those are my old stomping grounds! I am glad you loved it. So fun there isn't it. It truly is paradise.
Well i'm still a little upset you didn't take me with you. *sigh* But...i'm getting over it a little more each day. I'm finally able to forgive you, I think. Ha ha! Jk! It looks like you guys had a blast! I'm super jealous!! I love that pic of you two on the ship, your eyes look so pretty! Miss you! Hope all is going well! Good luck with that 'getting back to reality' It took me about 2 weeks after we got home from our cruise!!
Aren't the turtles awesome? I just love Hawaii. The first time we went, I felt like I left a part of my heart there, and knew that I would want to go back. I'm impressed with all that you fit in to your stay. It looks like you guys had a great time. I love the picture at PCC with your drink. I came home and tried to make the kids some of our yummy drinks that we had. Mmmm, I miss it already. Next time, we'll have to go together.
Oh yeah, doesn't Waikiki have great sunsets? That's one thing I missed while we were in Kauai. All the sunsets were covered behind the mountains.
Oh how I love and miss that place.
Really? Wow. Yes, small world. Well Katelyn was one of my first friends when we moved to Utah. When we were renting that basement apt. in Orem, she was in my ward. We've remained friends over the years. She just got married this past Feb. That is crazy though. I've been meaning to thank you for the gifts! I wore the necklace all day yesterday. Its so cute. And Braden likes his shirt! THanks so much!!
I have been craving to go back there!! Thanks for sharing your pictures, they were so beautiful! You guys look amazing! Miss you...are you guys up for a game of Settlers?
man livin' it up! Humm next time pack me in your suitcase!
Those pics are amazing!! SO SO JEALOUS is all that I can say. You look SO GORGEOUS in that pic of you and John on the ship!! What great memories those will be and I hope that Jay and I get to go with you on round 2.
Neat pictures. I was going to tell you that Hayden is taking his surfboard necklace for show and tell today (it was his own idea!) and yesterday Quincy was prancing around the house in her hula girl outfit! Thanks again for the fun souvenirs! They will be great for our upcoming Hawaiian Luau!
Oh how we love and miss Hawaii and my family there! So glad you had such a wonderful time. Isn't it so beautiful!!! We need to get back soon!
