Back to the Aloha State

Christmas vacation is over! So sad! Once we get home I will post pics of our trip.

It is late Saturday night and our flight leaves bright and early. Travis and I are packed and in theory we are ready to go but don't really want to. I love being here in this house with my mom, spending time with my family, being closer in some way to where my dad is, and also getting to be with Travis all day. I am 28 and havn't lived in this house for over 10 years but still consider it to be one of my 2 homes. Is that weird? Is there something wrong with me? If you are saying no then consider the fact that I will gaurantee cry tomorrow when we leave- it happens every time!

A Cute Boy and PJ's!!!! Is there a better combo?

I'm so excited that it's Christmas Eve! This means 2 things. One is that Travis finally gets to Texas today! Poor guy left Hawaii last night at 11pm and gets here today at 2pm. I have a feeling we are going to go to bed early tonight~ which is fine by me. It also means that tonight I will get my new pair of pajamas for the year. We have a tradition in our family that we all get matching pajamas on Christmas Eve to wear that night. Let me tell you how much my brothers LOVE this tradition. But, I for one actually do love it and never buy pajamas because I know I am getting a new and nice pair from Santa!

This is our picture from last Christmas in our matching pj's. Travis was in charge of the boys pj's and don't you worry we definitely bought all of them board shorts at the swap meet in Hawaii! My dad wearing those board shorts (he never ever wore shorts) with his white legs and socks pulled up to mid calf will definitely be one of my favorite Christmas morning memories for a long time!

I FINALLY DID IT

I have been meaning to start a blog of Travis and I's oh so exciting, jet setting lives forever now! Ever since my very forward thinking best friend Jenn started her hilarious blog forever ago, I have wanted to join the special club of bloggers but haven't done it until now.

The top 3 things that were holding me back were:

1. I am a technological idiot. I don't even have the first clue on how to download my own music! Seriously my version of downloading music is writing out a list and giving it to Travis with an "I love you!" and a smile.


2. I am still not sure I am going to have enough to write about. I LOVE our life and think it is fantastic! But I am not sure all of you will be as entertained as we are with the details of watching our Tivo all night.


3. I am just not very witty. I personally crack myself up- ALOT. But everyone else (especially my husband) doesn't always think my jokes are as funny as I do. He does crack up at me cracking up though!

So now that I just probably made a GREAT pitch for all of you to check this blog religiously, I hope you will because this really is our attempt at keeping in touch with many of you that we wish we got to see ALOT more!

I did have a 4th reason which was I am a TERRIBLE speller- but once I saw there was spell check on this thing that reason was scratched off the list and the blog was a go. Since I am at my mom's house in Houston from the 10th-30th and just anxiously awaiting Travis's arrival on Christmas Eve, I have had plenty of time to do what I have been meaning to do for a while. Our Christmas cards and this were two things on that list so I am feeling pretty pleased with myself!

Travis and I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and you can wish us luck on keeping up with this blog!
