Vashon Island

OKLAHOMA!!!

This last weekend me, my Hubby, and our two great friend Tom and Hessler ventured out of Olympia and onto the ferry to hit up Vashon Island! What a fun day we had! I almost didn't go, I really needed to stay home and work my Arbonne business, but something about getting on a ferry and the possibility of going to a whinery just made it hard to resist. We started the day early but man was it gorgeous! The short ferry ride to the island gave the perfect amount of sun and an amazing view of Mount Rainier!

We drove around, watched some World Cup, had some "amazing" lunch =), and just enjoyed being out of town for a bit! Thanks Tom and Hess for keeping us on track and getting us to go on this small adventure!! We had a ton of fun!

The Sun is Shining in Washington

Finally, after sooo much patience, the sun decided to come out! All weekend long I kept hearing that "its going to be warm next week", but I wasn't going to believe it until I saw it! Sure enough after a long weekend working the firework stand...the sun decided to shine bright...and warm!! Thank you Lord!! I have been longing for the sun to come out, almost to the point of wanting to move! =) Today at lunch I was able to sit outside and enjoy my lunch without a cloud in sight! What a great feeling it was!! =)
I find it so amazing how much having little sun affects one's mood. I'm from Oklahoma where it has been over 90 for at least a month and a half, and with everyone posting on facebook about going to the pool and the lake... talk about making it worse for me! I have been going crazy! So today and I so thankful to hear that the sun will be shining for awhile now! Great news!! Now if I can just catch up on some much needed sleep...I'll be great!! =)

Aloha!

For our vocation this year we were given the amazing opportunity to go to Hawaii with some very close and dear friends...for free!! Well...we had to pay for our flights and food... but we got to stay in this awesome house at no charge! Thank you Jeff and Tiffany for inviting us to go with you!!

I was looking forward to this trip for quite some time! I was working out like crazy, eating good, just making sure those bikini's fit just right! Not only that but I was super excited to spend some girl time with Tiffany! Matt, Jeff, and Nate had the time of their lives just being with each other and getting that much needed male bonding time! I knew this would happen, and I knew me and Tiff would have lots of time together, learning about each other! What a blessing that was! I have decided that me and Tiff are much more alike than we ever thought! How great it is to feel so connected with my husbands best friend's wife! LOVE it! =)

Words can not express the joy we had being on this trip! Not one moment was awkard or weird. Each moment was filled with laughter, prayer, great thoughts or over abundance of love! And... Dole Whip =)

This group of people is our family. We love them more than they know and feel so blessed when we get to spend time together! Matt and I are so looking forward to more time with our dear dear friends!! We miss you guys already!!
