Half a year already

One of the best opportunities I ever got was to get to go to Hawaii. I never in a million years believed I'd ever get a chance to go- unless maybe I was retired! But here I was, 27 with the chance of a lifetime!!!

Last summer, we got our chance. And I dove at it.

I'd recommend it to any and everyone. Such an amazing experience!!!

The night I arrived. I even got lei'd!!!!

St. Patrick's Day

I love holidays!!! I go all out for them- always have!

The next holiday is St. Patrick's Day- one of my favorites. No, not because I like green beer (yuck!) or corned beef and cabbage, but because I love all the mischievousness that goes along with it. When I was in first grade, my class got a visit from a leprechaun and I thought it was the COOLEST thing EVER!  It wreaked havoc all over our classroom and left green footprints and goodies all over. It was so cool when I was 6!

Since St. Patty's Day is on a school day this year, I'm going to go all out!
