Alabama Adventrue Part 3

After our tour of Florida beaches, we crossed back into Alabama to eat at the famous Lambert's Cafe. They originated in Missouri and Lee and I saw their show featured on Food Network:)

Very cute, rustic looking place and super fun!

I thought it was neat that they had an actual Honolulu Star Bulletin paper from Pearl Harbor!

Yes they are called the home of the throwed rolls because they actually throw you your rolls. And this one smacked me right in my face and then landed where you see it here. And they were HOT so kind of burned my face but SO WORTH IT because it was the most delicious roll I have ever eaten.

Do you see the size of their drinking cups??? Holy crazy!!!

The roll is as big as my hand and oh so yummy. At the bottom of the picture you can see the fried okra...not a huge fan but it was good to try.

The gang...all waiting for our food...although I was already full from the bread!

Kenny is a hamburger connoisseur;) And look at the cute mayonnaise Happy face!

Jessica got the BBQ ribs...and I got meatloaf and didn't get a picture but it was yummy! After dinner we walked off our meal at some outlet shops...I didn't get any pictures BUT I got some awesome deals at the Oakley and Juicy Couture stores...I am SO sending Lisa back there for me after Christmas;P

We headed home with lots of take out plates and about an hour into the drive we stopped at Burris Market where they make homemade ice cream and cobblers! I tried the Strawberry and Peach and oh my goodness it was hot and sweet and flaky and perfect cobbler!

Maw Maw and Paw Paw with Jess and Kenny...

I just think its so neat to drive over water on a bridge!

The sky was beautiful on our drive home and I had to snap a picture.

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!
