Rainy and Cold

Whoever said California was the sunny state must have only visited here a short period of time. It has been raining off and on again for two weeks now, it has the cold and damp feeling that makes you want to cuddle up under the blankets with hot chocolate and never come out today. Even Bella feels it she has been crawling all over me and wanting to sleep on my lap which is making it even harder to get things done, especially when you don't want to do them either.

Flying home single

Hey all you, I just wanted to let you know that I will be flying home on april 12th till the 22nd. Tom won't be able to come with me because he has two work. I am hoping to get to see you all but things are a little busy at home too so I'll keep you posted. Plus I won't have a car so it's hard for me to get to Halifax.

It's going to be an exciting trip home in the fall

Well this years trip home is going to be amazing one. In July one of my sisters and one of Tom's brothers are having babies with their due dates only 5 days apart. As well today Tom and I found out that his brother Dan purposed to his girlfriend Genevieve and are setting their wedding date for sometime in September!!!! This is going to be one crazy trip home but it's going to be one exciting trip too. Babies and a wedding what more could one ask for. So for those who I told that we were coming home in July or August....Well make that September now :) .

YAY, we finally got our last wedding gift purchases

Well today has been a good day but an expensive shopping day. Today after my workout we rented a car (yes everyone we still don't have a car...but I don't want one right now b/c I know I will become lazy and won't walk as much as I do know...Plus renting a car for a day is only 17$ but when we decide to start a family I guess we'll have to get one) So we went to my favorite hardwood furniture store today, to look at Grandfather Rockers. My mom and dad wanted to buy us one for our wedding present but since we were moving there was no sense on buying it just to put it in storage. So she gave us the money which we put away for it. Well now that we won't be moving home anytime soon we went out to go buy one. We got to the store and found the one I wanted as well as a hopechest that is 49 3/8 W x 22D 20 1/2 H(very big!!) with cedar lining (it smells so nice). However these pieces that we bought are unfinished so we bought the stain and I get to stain them too, I can't wait. Now we just have to talk one of Tom's co-workers to help us pick them up and transport them back to our place. I love buying would furniture...I can't wait till we finally buy our own house so that I can have my own wood workshop in it so that I can make my own....but this will be fine for now, I get to do some of the work. After that we picked up two bags of cat food from the vet (expensive) for Bella, a filing cabinet for my client files and our important docs so they can be locked up, and then finally the worst store to take Tom .....costco....He gets in there and wants to buy things like crazy and you have to know your prices b/c not everything is a good deal but even the good deals add up. No more shopping until we move. Once I get my rocker and hopechest home and stained I will post the pictures up.

What a day

Well I woke up really tired and new today was not going to be an easy one. YUP I was right started off with a nice cold shower...No hot water, lovely. Then it's time to fold laundry and head to the gym. Well the gym was brutal, my legs just didn't seem to want to run so after fighting with myself for 40min on the treadmill I finally gave up and stopped....which sucks b/c the minimum that I normally run is in hour and max is two hours. Coming out of the gym I see that it is pouring ran...lovely time to run back to the apartment. I find out that the weather is suppose to continue to rain for the rest of the week. Here is hoping that the day gets better and the weather man is going to be wrong!!!

Pictures from Hawaii

Here are the pictures I promised to put up from our trip to Hawaii.

This is the view of the beach outside our hotel. Tom and I climbed the mountain in the middle of the picture from inside the crater to the outer edge. The crater is actually a dormant volcano. The crater is know as diamond head crater.

This is an African tulip tree.

Sunset on the beach

This is actually just one tree known as a banyan vine tree. Basically roots start growing down like vines from branches and rooting themselves into the ground.

Cheeseburger in Paridise restaurant.

This is a zoomed picture of the view off diamond head crater that Tom and I climbed.

This is another view from diamond head crater, looking towards our hotel.

Night time on the beach looking at the hotels

The Luau

Now we didn't stay at the Hilton but they have huge grounds and anyone can go in and walk around. This is what we found.....Penguins in the Hilton Hotel

Turtles at the Hilton Hotel

The Hilton Hotel even has pink flamingos

A Pineapple growing outside the Dole plantation

They call this the baboon face cliff. Not sure if you can see it but the nose it the farthest point out and the mouth is by the water and the eyes are the next bump up from the long snout.

This is a bell of forgiveness you ring it and you are forgiven,
Tom is ringing the bell

Me ringing the bell

This is a buddhist temple in a Memorial grounds

This is known as the blow hole. There is actually a cave down in the water and when the wave comes in it pushes the water in to the cave and up through a hole in the rocks which they call a chimney and sprays water up into the air.

Me in Hawaii

Us in Hawaii

Us being Silly

Tom in Hawaii

One mad Kitty

Well I must say Bella (our baby) is a really good cat, and very spoiled. She always wants your attention and if she doesn't have it she will try to get into everything she's not supposed to or cry and cry until you tell her to come and sit with you. One thing you have to know is that she doesn't like me being away at all. When we went to Las Vegas for two days she was just as upset as she was with us being away for a week. When I finally get home she cries continuously but for the first two minutes she will try to ignore you. But this doesn't last very long and in no time she won't let me do anything. She won't let me use my laptop b/c she has to be lying on me. She will follow me whereever I go and it's hard to get anything done b/c if I turn my attention to something else she starts crying all over again. However I don't mind b/c it makes me happy that she always wants to sit with me, lie down with me and just always be where I am. The first night home she practically slept on my head. She is such a lap cat and my baby. It will be about a week before she starts to leave me alone for the little time she does on a normal basis.

Back from Hawaii

Well we are finally back to the real world :(, I did not want to come back to California at all. I told Tom that since we live so far from home that we should just move to Hawaii. Somehow I don't think that will happen, but I can keep dreaming.

Well our trip didn't get off to a good start. We managed to miss our flight out to Hawaii, b/c we were at the wrong gate, but thankfully there are five flights a day flying out of San Francisco to Honolulu so we were able to catch the next one out. Had to wait four hours though. But we just laughed it off b/c in the last two years our flights have never worked out and it didn't really matter b/c we were still going to get to Hawaii in the end!!!!!

So our trip was wonderful, a whole week spent together just taking it easy in a beautiful place. It did rain a bit but we made the best of it. Our time on the beach was wonderful, we were either just relaxing or just walking along the length of it. The best of all was when Tom and I hiked up Diamond Head crater which is a dormant volcano. The view from the top of the crater was amazing. We went to a Luau too which was a lot of fun. This trip was just so awesome it is hard to put it in words. I'll post some pictures soon.

WoooHooo

Well the time is finally here!!!!!!! Tom and I leave tomorrow morning and will be in Hawaii at noon time Hawaiian time. I can't wait and can't believe the time has finally come. How am I suppose to sleep tonight....gravol is probably going to have to be taken. That's how mom got me to sleep when I was a small child once, when I was way to excited for Santa Clause and couldn't sleep and I am talking about a 5yr still up at 3am.. Well I got my workout to go to this morning and we haven't even packed yet and I got to clean the apartment b/c we have someone coming in every morning to feed Bella....I am so glad she is not a cat who will eat all her food in one sitting or she would be soo hungry by night time. We are a little sad that we have to leave her behind.... she is such a good lap cat. She is going to be soo mad at us but I keep telling her it's better than leaving her in a kennel for a week. Here is hoping she'll be alright. Well got to run soooooo much to do and less than 24 hours we'll be on the plane.
Till next time...
