Our Honeymoon

First of all thank you to everyone who came to our wedding to support us, it means a lot that we have such great friends and family! After the wedding we got up Saturday morning and started packing for Hawaii! I was so excited I forgot to pack half of what I wanted to take! We left Saturday afternoon, had a wonderful dinner at the outback and then headed to Vegas where we stayed at the M Resort, if you are ever in Vegas and need a place to stay I would recommend this, except for a maid knocking on our door in the middle of the night our stay there was absolutely amazing! The next morning bright and early at 7 AM it was time to fly out to Hawaii! Thanks to my cousin Jackie and her kids for taking us to the airport! We finally got there after what felt like a million years and got our rental car, one word: tourists.We finally got to our hotel-we went to the wrong one first and I got panicked because they did not have us registered there and oops... It wasn't the right one. We finally got to the right place and had our super tourist car parked and went to check in. By this point it was about 7PM in Hawaii so we had been traveling for a very long time. We had a very nice gentleman that checked us into our hotel. He asked if we were on our honeymoon and we said yes and he said let me make a suggestion- you should upgrade your room and we will discount it because you are on your honeymoon. We must have had the tourist sign stamped to our foreheads by now because with out hesitation or asking what it would cost we said SURE! I think it was one of the best things that we did! Here is a view from the balcony in our room.... Some things that we did while there:We also went to the Dole Plantation and had a pineapple float that was delish and took a tour of the plant and learned about pineapples, later that day we went to the Laie Hawaii Temple. It was under construction but it was still gorgeous! The next day we went to the Polonesian Cultural Center, and watched a canoe parade, had a luau, and ate some good food! The next day it was off to the flee market this was at Aloha Stadium and it was so much fun! We spent most of the day there. Our next day we went to the beach, Raul attempted to snorkel ( I am deathly afraid) but it was too windy. We spent the day at the beach eating fresh fruit and playing in the water. Afterwards we went to dinner at a place called Duke's. It was a fun place that was located on the beach- this is a picture from our table: Our last day there we went to Pearl Harbor and tried to soak up as much of Hawaii as possible! We found our favorite place in Hawaii to eat if you go there you must try:
We flew home on the red eye flight, and coming home was by far the worst part of our trip! We want to move there! We LOVE Hawaii and cant wait to go back!

Someone elses actual "birth" day!

I just wanted to tell my wonderful husband Happy Birthday! I am only a over month late! For those of you who know me well this probably doesn't surprise you! :)

A few things that I love about Raul:

He always trys to make me happy- even if that means changing that channel from football to HG TV (that really happened).

He is the kindest most patient person that I have ever met.

He is a hard worker and never complains.

He is my best friend- I am so lucky that he chose me to be his wife!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAUL! I LOVE YOU!

Truthfully...

It's all right cuz I'm saved by the... its all right cuz I'm saved by the bell

So the other day I came home for lunch and I was in kind of a bad mood and so I decided to lay down and turn on the TV and lo and behold what was on TV???? The BEST SHOW EVER of course! In case you don't know what the best show ever is it is Saved By The Bell!!! So I thought that I must share that you can also watch the BEST SHOW EVER on the "N channel", and get a few laughs from this oldy but goody... Here are some pictures to refresh your memory just in case you have forgotten the gang...

Our Favorite Show...




We love True Blood! I didn't think that Raul would like it because it is about Vampires and at the time I spent all of my time reading about them (Twilight series) and was a little bit obsessive. I was wrong! We cant wait for our Sunday night series to start up again! Can you see the hidden picture in the season two poster?

*Please dont think that we are weirdo's that are obsessed with scary vampires. Only nice ones like Edward. :) Ok maybe it is just me that is obsessed with Edward.

Thank-you Favor Boxes.


In preparation for the wedding we have been folding ONE MILLON (ok that is an exaggeration) thank you favor boxes. I came home and found that my creative little sister Hailee had made them a bit more realistic. We all had a good laugh-my mom thinks we should really make them all like this!
