Finding JOY in the JOURNEY...: Lee & Savannah

Lee & Savannah

When Savannah woke up the first night we had her, she rolled over and smiled and said, "Did you have good dreams? Yeah...I had good dreams". It made my heart melt!

Having fun in the pool. Jsut before this picture Lee was pretending to be a shark and Savannah was screaming for him to not get her but then when he would stop she would tell him to "do it again"...she is going to be thrill seeker this one:-)

What a sweetheart!

Here are a few pictures of Lee and his Baby Girl. It amazes me how much she is drawn to him after only one day. This picture was taken on our second day of the trip at Jungle Jims.

They both LOVE video games and they were so cute playing together.

If you look closely, they both have the EXACT same expressionson their face... it was so adoirable that I had to snap a picture. I think its so crazy how DNA came give people similar personality traits even if they never were around eachother.

Just chillin at Jonny's house watching a movie and cuddling.

Once upon a time...

Mibi grew up in Laie and attended Kahuku High and Lee grew up in Haleiwa and Mililani and attended Mililani High. Mibi went to College at BYU-Hawaii and then served a mission in the Utah Ogden Mission before meeting the man of her dreams. After school, Lee jumped into the workforce looking for his career and eventually ended up working for Mibi's family flower shop at Turtle Bay while Mibi was serving her mission...and never thought that this job would lead him to his "Angel". We met in Septmeber of 2001 after I returned home from my mission. I came back to the flower shop to manage things for my Mom and Lee had left to pursue his education. Well a few months later, Lee's education path didn't take the direction he had hoped and instead life lead him back to Turtle Bay. The first thing he did was call Mom to get his job back and of course she said YES. So, I was Lee's boss and there was an instant friendship...it felt as if we had known each other our entire lives. We kept it strictly business for a few weeks and then one night I was gong to make a Wal-Mart run after work and called him to see if he wanted to come along. His phone was busy (the days before call waiting) and I almost gave up...but after a few more tries he picked up and from that night on we were inseperable. I think we told each other our life stories that night and we both knew then that our lives would never be the same! Over the next year, we formed a deep love and respect for each other which kept us connected through a few rough patches and across the ocean as Mibi moved back to Utah. Finally after a year of being best friends, we both realized that there is no one on earth we would rather be with than each other! We were a couple for about two years when Lee proposed to me and we tied the knot at the exact place we first met...the same hotel the flower shop was located when we worked there...TURTLE BAY. And to add to our JOY, we have a beautiful daughter Savannah (Lee's biological and Mibi's spiritual daughter ) who we just ADORE! She is so smart, funny, outgoing, a jabberbox like her Dad and just the cutest thing you have ever seen!!! We also are praying that we can give her a little brother or sister sometime in the next year or two!!! Until then we have a Doberman (Kayla) and a cat (Shadow) that we spoil rotten and of course all of our Nieces and Nephew's. It has been almost 8 years of wedded bliss and although we have had our ups and downs, each experience has made us grow more in love with each other and are still each others best friend!
