The Wedding-ish

I don't even know where to begin. I haven't blogged in a week, and I can barely stand it! By most standards a week hiatus is probably no big deal, but I feel like a huge chunk of my life has not been documented. Dramatic, I know. So, I guess I'll just start here and now. Today, the aftermath of the big ten year party. The clean up and oh my God I'm tired day (and conveniently Isom's first day at his new job...we like to keep it exciting around here). It was a long process, expensive, tiring, BUT fun and well worth it. I'm anxiously awaiting pictures from our trusted friend and photographer for the day, Mai Ly (and she also played the role of chauffeur and her husband the role of bartender---many mahalos!). I won't bore you with too many details of the day, but a top five list is definitely in order...
1. Isom (he cleaned up good)
2. Gabe (half-way participating in our vow renewal with us)
3. Family from the mainland
4. Getting my nails, hair, make-up done (Sarah worked wonders on this sweat pant queen)
5. The decor/venue (Julie turned Senator Fongs into a beautiful party)
6. The food (BC Burrito is THE place to get Mexican food catered; Lehua turned my vision of wedding cupcakes into a beautiful, delicious reality)
Okay, so it's a top six list instead. We loved renewing our vows, but I must say...I'm happy to sit here typing this without worrying about catering, linens, or favors...and of course in my sweats.

March Goal: 30 Beaches, 30 Days

Image
  Third monthly challenge complete!  For March, my goal was to go to thirty different beaches for thirty days.  To recap, in January I hiked thirty different trails for thirty days, and in February I practiced different styles of Yoga for twenty-eight days.   Mountain.  Mat.  Marine.  The first three months of my year long journey of completing monthly goals has been achieved.  I feel good.  I have worked my heart with cardio,  worked my body with stretching, and worked my soul with the happiness that being outside, toes in the sand and salt water washing over me, can provide. I realize that a thirty day beach goal is not feasible for everyone.  I am filled with gratitude that I live in a place where the beach is accessible, beautiful, and free.  Born, not raised, in Hawai’i, believe it or not, up until this thirty day challenge, I was not much of a beach person.  It seemed boring, hot, and out of my comfort zone.  Ne...

August Goal: 30 Days of New Recipes

Image
Month eight is complete!  August was a month of learning about new ingredients, trying new recipes, making a few mistakes in the kitchen, and filling our hearts and bellies with happiness and deliciousness.  I’m so glad I made the eighth month of my twelve month long challenge/journey, a culinary challenge.  Last month, in July, my challenge was to document delight…I documented it everyday for thirty days and then neglected to document my DELIGHT journey on the Blog.  It could still happen…   August is my youngest sons birth month.  He loves to cook and bake and cause general chaos in the kitchen so it seemed appropriate that I make August the month of new recipes.  Also, I love books…to include cookbooks…which I seem to have a pretty nice collection of.  Anyway, I have all these cookbooks and many of them hadn’t even been cracked open or recipes attempted…until now.  Most all the cookbooks turned out to be winners (with only a couple of non-...

Shameless Plug...

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?
