11 Years!
Wow! A decade flies when you’re having fun!!! I read a quote somewhere that said something to the effect of “99% of your happiness is determined by the spouse you pick. Choose wisely.” I love this quote and it is so true. I feel like I won the lottery with the husband I chose! While… Continue reading

The People I Admire
It dawned on me today that I have become “one of ‘those’ people”. Six and a half months ago I began this bootcamp class. When I first started, you could look out at the other wives and see that we all fell into 1 of 2 groups: those of us just starting, and those that… Continue reading

Get Over It
So I was all excited to do my first biathlon this morning. I really wasn’t thrilled about the swimming part, but I’ve done all kinds of things I thought were impossible and this would be no different. Until I finished dead last. I hate being last. I hate not being good at something. Forget that… Continue reading

Kokohead, Battle Buddies, and Facing Fears!
So after hiking Diamondhead a couple of weeks ago, Katy and I decide that we are rockstars and we are gonna do Kokohead. It’s only 1,048 railroad ties or “steps” to the top – can’t be that bad! And we swam over a mile yesterday – lets climb a volcano today! Yippee!! My rockstar battle… Continue reading

Karma
I’m not sure if I believe in karma, but I definitely feel like we should all live by the golden rule – do unto others… Well, apparently I haven’t been very nice because karma came with a vengeance in the last 36 hours!! I can’t make this stuff up – it would be hilarious if… Continue reading

Climbing Mountains
I don’t know why, but climbing Diamondhead seemed like such a daunting feat. We have lived here now for almost 3 years but with the excuse of the kids, being too busy, and just life in general it was something we never got around to checking off of the list… …..until today!!!! … Continue reading

Hau oli Makahiki Hou!! (That’s Happy New Year in Hawaiian!)
As 2011 ends, I’m feeling a bit reflective as I usually do when the holidays draw to a close and a new year’s possibilities are just around the corner. I’ve had two crazy “pinch me” moments recently. The first was in line at Subway. The girl behind me in line struck up a conversation about… Continue reading

Michael Phelps and a Grumpy Curmudgeon!
So while preparing for my biathlon next month, I decided to swim at Hickam beach. It’s gorgeous out there and not a whole heck of a lot of people because, well let’s face it – it is the day after Christmas and only CRAZY people like me are training for biathlons instead of shopping! So… Continue reading
