Thankful Thrusday...

I am so thankful for Sister Jean...who brings me yummy Korean food and especially when she brings me HOT Kimchee Soup on a chilly day! And it works WONDERS on my sinuses...especially when the "VOG" rolls in. KAMSAHAMIDA (spelling???) JEAN!

I LOVE this new snack I found. It is Furikake Party Mix and its Chex Mix with an asian flavoring on it and BOY is it addicting. Im eating some as Im typing :-P

Im grateful for KAYLA...sometimes I think she is the ONLY one listening to me! LOL But seriously I was cuddling with her the other day and was thinking...WOW Heavenly Father created Kala JUST for my amusement and joy. She serves no real purpose other than to be a companion to me and to make me happy. How awesome is that????

I am SUPER Thankful for SALES!!!!!! I found this super cute dress for Savannah and it comes with a "minnie me" dress for a doll. It was originally priced at Macy's for $99 (yikes who pays $100 for a dress a girl will grow out of in a few months?) but it was on clearance for 19.99. PLUS they had a promo that if you were wearing RED you could get an additional 20% off all purchases. So I got it for $17.99. That and the new church clothes that Lee needed were on clearance and got that 20% off.

Hope you ALL have a great week and remember to be THANKFUL for the little things in your life too!

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!
