Snorkleing in Kona (Delayed posting)

I totally forgot about our point-and-shoot underwater camera that we had while snorkleing in Kona in June. I finally took it in to get developed and got a few shots out of if. I am posting late, but it's good to remember the trip... wish we were back there now.

This little guy deserves the exposure. The water wasn't too clear but seeing turtles NEVER gets old. :)

CAT-astrophes

So on days that I'm home all day I've been discovering what the cats do when I'm not around (or they think I'm not watching)

Here's Coco going in the sink after the green beans I'd recently steamed and was draining Caught! Green-handed!
She then proceeded to chew it...
And surprisingly, she DID eat the whole thing once I stopped taking pictures of her.
Back off from my greens, lady!
In another part of the house, I found Miko inside my purse...
A short time later he was passed out all curled up inside it... it's so cute and entertaining that I took pictures instead of getting him out of it...
I also figured out why there's a soaking wet toy mouse on the floor every day. I caught them taking the mouse, dropping it IN their water dish, playing with it and then tossing the wet thing all over the house. Lovely.

See the things you miss when you go to work?

Kimbescott wedding

A handsome crew waiting to board the ETERNITY for Kim and Scott's wedding this past weekend.

I was/am extremely huge and awkward and I think everyone was a bit nervous to have me on board a boat for 5 hours... hehe. Turned out, there was absolutely no sign of impending labor anywhere on the horizon.
And it was a beautiful horizon. Beautiful day, afternoon and sunset, just before the ceremony!
This is the group from ICU. We all work with Kim.
Nurses. Christine, Erin, Moi and Megan.
Beautiful bride being walked down the isle by her father.
Blogger keeps rearranging the order of my pics and I'm too tired to do it over. My sweet husband and I in the lounge...
The new Mr. and Mrs. Edick.

Congratulations you too! Beautiful couple, beautiful wedding. Thanks for having us be a part of your special day. We had a blast!

Barronika Wedding

My good friend Monika got married to her sweetheart, Barry, this weekend. They did so at Casa Del Camino, in Laguna Beach. It was a perfect day!
Dan and Meghan at the bar during cocktail hour at the roof-top bar. Just a great place to hang out!
Baby is getting to go to a lot of parties lately...
The beautiful couple, Barry and Monika = Barronika
I love my friend. She's such a sweet, beautiful, fun girl!


If only we still liked each other... ;)

Congratulations, Barronika! Thanks for allowing us to be witness to your special day. We love you and look forward to spending more time together when we live closer!

Doug's 80s Bday party

Dan's Highschool friend, Doug, had an 80s themed Bday party this weekend. However, Dano and I have SO much on our plate right now, that planning for and shopping for 80s garb just did not fit on our plate. So we did not participate in the dress-up... this time.
But Doug, the birthday boy, sure did.
And so did a lot of other people....
We had a blast. We danced, ate good food and I drank a lot of water! Wooo-hoooo. Their house is just amazing so we felt we were partying at a resort. Thanks for having us guys! Happy Birthday!

This weekend: Heat waves, promotions and celebrations

This weekend was the Lovely Kim's Bridal Shower. She's going to be such a radiant bride!

And the Black Belt promotion. This is a pretty good group picture after the testing.

Two brown belt promotions and two new Black Belts. They really earned it, it was a great test! Danny (third from left) is my inspiration.
Great Job Danny!
