The Royal Couple and a Golden Birthday

 

The Royal Couple knows a good date for a wedding when they see one... April 29th!
It's not only the 5th anniversary for my husband and I but it is also my birthday. Yes, we got married on my birthday (my husband will never forget important dates).
And this coming Friday isn't just my birthday... its my golden birthday.
29 years old on the 29th!!!

Since your golden birthday only happens once a lifetime, I'm celebrating big time.

Actually, It's been a 2 week affair. ha! My 2 kids and I have been celebrating the past week and will continue on celebrating this coming week.

Some of our activities:
-hitting up Target for some new swim wear, Easter outfits, and clothes
-making homemade play dough
-picking out some new shoes
-eating malasadas
-having some pre-Easter egg hunts (practice, I say)
-strolling down to the petting farm with the kids
-the beach
etc.

And no, we won't be tuning in to watch the big Royal wedding next Friday. We've decided to celebrate our own special dates with our kids here in Hawaii for a little staycation.
Which I am too excited about.

But here's to you, William and Kate!

Tsunami scare and prayers for Japan

We had quite the scare two nights ago due to the earthquake in Sendai, Japan forming a tsunami our way. After a sleepless night, nothing damaging or dangerous happened on Oahu. I am very grateful for that. I think only a few houses, hotels, and stores on the big island and Kauai got flooded... NOTHING in compared to Japan though. It leaves me kind of speechless...

It's just overall awful and saddening for the people there. My prayers are going their way.

There are quite a few visitors from Japan here with relatives from the area as well as Hawaii residents with family who live there. It's just a waiting game to see if they are alive. In case there is someone out there with family or friends in Japan (who is reading this), you can list you and your lost ones here with Red Cross to make that connection to know they are safe.
