Finding JOY in the JOURNEY...: Christmas Eve Day Fun...

Christmas Eve Day Fun...

It's Christmas EVE Day and we decided to gotoTemple beach and enjoy our beautiful weather:)

It was only 9am but it was already hot and perfect beach weather!

The storms of last week had washed up so much drift wood and debris BUT the water was nice and clean:)

The kids has SO much fun playing with the sticks...they were occupied for hours!!!

Kayla was in Doggie Heaven as there were dozens of coconuts on the beach for her to husk;)

Who knew sticks were so fun...forget buying toys, we're playing with sticks from now on!

Um...NO we can't take this one home Savannah!!!

We played and hung out and had so much fun. It was relaxing and beautiful and I thank Heavenly Father for this moment!!!

What made it even more perfect was that my HONEY called and I got to talk to him while watching the kids play in the shore break. Almost as good as having him sitting beside me...

We went home and got showered and headed to MCD's for lunch!

They ate all there food so they got ICE CREAM!!!

Austin is so handsome...he is gonna be a heart breaker when he is older;)

Jackie is the naughtiest kid ever but he's so stinkin cute that you can't stay mad at him:P

Okay...maybe I'm biased but is that not the face of a future Super MODEL??? She is my gorgeous princess and she, like her Daddy, has me wrapped around her little pinky!

I have to work tonight but am gonna make it home for the ritual opening of one present...so will post those pics later. I hope everyone has a MERRY CHRISTMAS and know that we love you all!!!

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!
