Finding JOY in the JOURNEY...: Roses from my Hubby...

Roses from my Hubby...

Not the best picture of me but I have decided to take random pictures of myself and start posting them so I can see how I change over the years. Im kind of tired of posed and dressed up pictures ofme. I like the "Au Naturale" pictures...more realistic. I am actually pretty sick inthis picture...after the funeral and getting redy for Mom andDad to come I was just exhausted physically and emotionally and just felt horrible. I wouldn't stop sweating and just hurt from head to toe. OF course no matter how crappy i feel I always have time to snap a picture (Im so weird...I dont know where I get it from).

I LOVE getting flowers from Lee but hate that they die so soon...so a few months ago I started taking pictures of them so I can make them last forever. My husband may not be perfect but he is definitley the most romantic man I have ever known. If I didn't discourage him from it, he would bring me roses every day!!!! I am a very lucky woman:-)

Random side note...It's funny that when I took the picture I didn't notice that you can see me lotion, book lamps, medicine and walker in the backround. Gosh it looks lik an old lady lives in this room!!!!

Lee actually got me these roses when we were grocery shopping. W got on a "save money" kick (stemming from the fact that we have to pay off Savannah's summer visit and our trip to Utah) and have been trying to cook at home. We made some pretty good stuff. Lee mad Cone sushi and Meat Jhun (If your from Hawaii your mouth is watering...if your not then just know it is DELICIOUS) and we had a very yummy dinner with my gorgeous roses next to me:-)

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!
