Utah here we come!!!

We will be in Utah from September 20th-30th...YAY!!!!! We were seriously missing Savannah and wanted to take a trip for our Anniversary/My Birthday but cannot handle the cold weather. I always hurt my back and Lee gets sick. So we were web chatting with Savannah and my poor husband was SOOOO sad when we got off the computer and I could just feel how much we both needed to jsut hug and kiss her. So I called my Mom (who was coming to Hawaii for business anyways) and asked if we could escape while she was here and she said YES. We hopped on Delta.com and found a killer deal for non stop flight to Salt Lake City and TADA...we will be there in 5 days:-) So for those of you in Utah don't be surprised if you see us cruising the mall or hanging out at Boondocks!!! I will post a ton of pics when we get back...LOVE YA!

Things that I am excited to do on our trip...

Hug Savannah, watch Lee hug Savannah, kiss Savannah, take Savannah to school, watch Savannah play soccer, buy Savannah a ton of new outfits, go to Lagoon with Savannah...basically spend as much time loving on Savannah as humanly possible!

Hug, kiss, play with, have fun with and spoil Tevin, Amber, Lauren, Spencer and Caleb to death. Ohh and hang out with their parents too:-)

OLIVE GARDEN, LANE BRYANT, KRISPY KREME, BATH AND BODY WORKS AND EVERY AUTHENTIC MEXICAN PLACE I CAN FIND!!!!! LOL:-)

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!
