Then Up Up and Away the T's Will Go!

Since the husband and I didn't get to go to the Big Island for Christmas, because they ran out of rental cars, yes that happens! We have decided to go to Moloka'i for a long weekend trip. I won't say exact days, especially when there is only two flights out in the time we're going, but I will say it is happening soon! 

Husband's facebook post:

I'm so excited about the plane ride in general! We'll be flying island air, a very small commercial airline that only serves the islands. Here is what their planes look like:

I'm excited about our upcoming adventure and I cannot wait to share it with y'all once we get back!

Shit My Sister Says...

I rarely blog about anyone else aside from my husband and I, but I think tis time y'all meet Meggy. Meg is my one and only little sister. She just had her sixth birthday this past St. Patty's day. She is ridiculously smart, as in sounding out words when she was three, but also the largest smartass you will ever meet, aside from my husband. 

The story I have been able to get out of my head occurred about a week ago. My mother and her were driving in my mother's brand new BMW (my mother's birthday gift to herself). Well my sister sits in the back dead center. I guess her new habit is putting her feet on the console which drives my mother mad! So their conversation went like this:

Mom: Megan, get your feet off the console, you are getting it dirty and you are going to break the nob for the airvents!

Meggy:  Well, mother. You want me to stop doing this so I don't get your car dirty and I want Justin Beiber to be my boyfriend. So it looks like we're both not getting what we want. 

As soon as my mother told me this I couldn't help but to die laughing! How do you respond to that? Anyways, she says silly things like that all the time and my husband and I cannot help but laugh. Probably bad karma too because our kids will be just as bad I'm sure. 

Here's Meggy, the devil-child herself. A character isn't she?

Hope y'all enjoyed the story! I'm sure you will hear more of here soon!

Oh, hey there!

So it has literally been OVER a month since my last blog post, literally, not a single page written in April. I'm really sorry, but thank you for continuing to follow me even though my life hasn't been the least bit interesting. Hopefully, that will all be changing soon since next week I will be taking finals then YAY! SUMMER VACAY! Almost, I will be starting summer school in about three weeks. 

So lately, we (as in husband and I) have not been up to very much. We've been really busy in fact, and my brain is super tired from trying to pound out the last month of my semester. If all goes well, though, husband and I will have some super interesting news for all of y'all! Fingers crossed that we will have odds in our favor...things will get very interesting if they are! 

Until then, I don't think I even announced it, but we purchased surfboards a few months ago! 

We bought these from Diamond Head Surfboards and we couldn't be happier! My husband got a 9' longboard with some super awesome wood inlay and I got a 6'10'' hybrid/fun-board. We were surfing almost every weekend until life got busier and I have to work most weekends, but hopefully we will be going out tomorrow! 

Here is a few pictures of our ventures out to sea!

Here is a picture of husband surfing at Makapu'u. So far our favorite surf spot.

Surfing the super famous super crowded breaks at Canoes in Waikiki

My expression is embarrassing, but this is definitely me.

Then this is the only picture of me "surfing" I'm about to catch that wave that I feel like grew upon standing up on because I actually dropped down on it. Awesome feeling. My husband gets all the videos and pictures because he has our GoPro mounted on his board. I'll need to upload some videos, they're pretty cool! 

Hopefully, I haven't left y'all hanging for too long. I really look forward to blogging again! Until next time, y'all!

Liebster Awarded x3 part 1 with Katherine!

Thank you to the ladies that nominated me! Y'all are too sweet! So sorry it's taken my a while to get back to y'all on this too. I deceded to break these up into three parts so y'all wouldn't get so bored reading my responses. 

Thank you, Katherine Newsom! @

1. Why/when did you start blogging?

I started blogging in Novemeber of 2011. I started really just to document parts of my life while being here in Hawaii. My life was also changing a life at that point so I needed a place to go to and vent.

2. What/when was your last big vacation?

My last "big" vacation must have been last year when the husband and I went to Cali on his pre-deployment leave. We are definitely overdue for an actual vacation though.

3. What is your favorite 90's band {or band in general if you aren't a 90's kid}?

I'm a 90's kid, but my favorite band had to be N'SYNC.

4. What is your favorite season and why?

I love me a Texas summer. Yes, it's scorching hot, but I just really like feeling the heat on my skin, the concerts on a cool night and there is nothing sweet tea won't cool off.

5. How did you and your spouse meet?

We owe a lot to the Marine Corps. I'll have to get into that more in a post one day.

6. If you had a million dollars...

I would give half to my baby sister, shes's five and I want her to always be ok in one way or another so financially, I think it would be put to good use if I gave her half. I would use the other half to pay off my student debt. Then the husband and I would travel a little. 

7. What is your favorite duty station/post so far that your spouse has been stationed at, and why?

Hawai'i is by far my favorite. This place fits us so well, we are free here and there isn't a single thing I dislike about living here...except maybe the crazy asian tourists.

8. What is your greatest accomplishment to date?

That's so hard! I've made plenty of little accomplishments, but the greatest to date is hard.  

9. What is the best concert you have been to?

That is very hard! I went to SXSW (South by South West) in Austin which has a lot of different bands and I thought that was just the coolest ever! 

10. What are the top 3 items on your bucket list?

I have two bucket lists! One a Marriage bucket list and a regular one I've had for a while., but here is my top three across both.

-Have a child with my husband

-Have a dog for their entire life

-See the Northern Lights

11. Do you have any pets?

No, no pets :( 

Sadly, I have been out of the blogisphere lately and I'm not sure about who to nominate, but I would still like to ask questions and y'all can comment :)

1. What was your favorite childhood memory? 

2. At what age was your first date and who was he?

3. Are you married? If so, what do you guys do for fun!?
