Finding JOY in the JOURNEY...: Ehukai Malosi Keil

Ehukai Malosi Keil

My dear friend, Leah flew home for the weekend to have her newest baby, Ehukai, blessed. I have known Leah and her husband BK since high school and love her so much. She lives in Kentucky (BK is a pilot and that is where he is stationed) and I miss her alot but was so glad that I was able to spend a little bit of time with here while she was here.

Little Ehukai has gorgeous blue eyes and is do fair but has Samona features (haha).

Ocena is Leah's older child and is a smart, beautiful and well behaved little girl. I remember when Leah and BK stayed the night at my apartment in Vegas and Ocean was just a little baby then...I can't believe how much she has grown.

Aunty Theone (LEah's mom) and ocean with her new baby brother.

Leah and BK...what a cute couple...they were high school sweethearts and I was thrilled when they got married ( I did their flowers and have pics in the archives).

I LOVE this picture...Ehukai, Mommy and Grandma (BK's Mom) are all smiling.

As Leah looked at these pictures she notices exatly how much Ehukai looks like Grandpa!!!

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!
