Good Times

There is nothing more romantic and rejuvenating than a trip for two to an island getway for a week. I was so happy to join Mike during a Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii! Who wouldn't jump at that opportunity?! I am so thankful for wonderful parents who watched our children so we could enjoy each other and celebrate 10 years of being married. Although we missed our kids and talked to them everyday, we enjoyed being together and being somewhere warm. With only a couple of hours in the morning for the conference, we really had so much time to spend together. The day before the Conference started we headed up the coast to the North Shore. On our way we stopped at the Temple and BYU Hawaii. Our first night was spent eating a fabulous dinner at the Turtle Bay Resort and watching the sunset as we ate. It couldn't have been more perfect. The next couple of days were relaxing, spending every moment in the sun either at the beach or by the pool. We also had so much fun getting reacquainted with some good friends from medical school who currently live there. One of the highlights of our trip was our adventure on a Catamaran where we sailed out a bit to go snorkling. We saw lots of really cool fish and a few friendly sea turtles. We came within 3 feet of a sea turtle and just watched in awe as this amazing creature swam next to us. So what did I love most about our trip---a great man to share precious moments with, the warm sun, not having to cook, sleeping in, and the amazing sunsets. Good times!
