Happy Birthday to ME...Happy Anniversary to US!

Wow...another year has come and gone by so quickly! It seems like yesterday I was blogging about my 32nd Birthday and 4th Anniversary. I did my "Thankful Thursday"post below that lists all the thigns I have to be grateful for today and here are a few more:-D

My beehives and my Beehive leader brought me the CUTEST card signed by all the girls and these roses. It was my FIRST birthday gift of the day and it made me so happy. I am so grateful for my calling as Beehive Advisor and have learned so much and have been so blessed by these girls and the ladies I work with in Young Women.

I just LOVE my visiting teachers, Rachel and Annie. Alot of you have heard the story, but these two amazing women are just ANGELS!!! I grew up with both of them in Laie 8the ward and shortly after I got married they became my visitng teachers. Well we have beome close friends and without fail they always remember my birthday. I LOVE this gift idea and I am totally going to steal it;-) Two movies Chocolat and Beaches (I had never seen Chocolat and I LOVED IT...new fave), popcorn, mochi crunch, twizzlers and two bottles of water with crystla light packs attached. We opened up the movies, snuggled in bed and dove into the goodies right away...PERFECT way to spend the day. OH and Annie dropped off a can of Caramel Popcorn but it was devoured before I could take a picture!

My sweet hubby has been dealing wiht some health issues and I was not expecting to do anythign but stay ome and rest today. All I cared about was being with my husband and getting him healthy...I dont need fancy dinners or extravagant gifts. But being the amazing man that he is...around 7:30pm, he jumps out of bed and says GET READY. I was like...um you are in no condition to go anywhere but he insisted that we get dressed and go see NEW MOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He knew I have been waiting anxiously for it to premier and ever since I found out it was opening the night our my bday.anniversary that's all I kept telling him I wanted for my present. But with all he has been dealing with I didnt even consider going.

But my sweet, precious, adoring and amazing hubby not ONLY took me to New Moon BUT they were showing Twilight at 9pm (if you bought tickets to Twilight you could stay in the theatre and keep your seats for New Moon and it was so worth it because we were dead center and half way up..just like I like it and theline was CRAZY outside for New Moon)... so he sat through TWILIGHT, waited patiently the 1.5 hour wait until Midnight and then endured over 2 hours of oohs, ahhs, squeels, gasps and sighs from me and every other girls (and a few boys) in the theatre. Now thats TRUE LOVE!!!!!!!! Thank you Honey...I know it was a difficult for you to leave the house and that you slept most of the time and probably would have rather sat through an OPERA than the Twilight Saga but that is why I married you and why I will always love and adore you:-D

P.S. I am SO excited to show you what I got him for our Anniversary..it hasn't arrived yet but I will post as soon as it gets here. HE is going to LOVE IT. Oh and I got the CUTEST dress for my Anniversary present. Those will be posted soon...

PS: isn't twilight the craziest craze?? I told my hubby I could go with the girls, or I would wait to see it and would go with him. He acts like he was doing me a favor, but I KNOW he really just wanted to see it! hahahahaha. Our hubbys are great aren't they?

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!
