10 (+1) Year Anniversary Trip

Aloha.

When Josh and I got married more than a decade ago, we opted for a small wedding and in the mountains just a few hours from home. We didn't do a big honeymoon, just stayed a few more days after the wedding.

We wanted to go to Hawaii, but we didn't have the money to do it right, to island hop and to really enjoy the whole experience. So we always said we'd go for our 10 year anniversary. You know, when we had more money. Three kids and 10 years later, we were still talking about it.

For a lot of different reasons, last year didn't work out. This year it did. We arrived last week in Oahu, and today made our way over to the Big Island.

So Aloha (hello).

And Mahalo (thank you).

Mahalo to Grammy and Pappy, who helped send us on this trip and who are back at home with our three boys and the two puppies.

Pictures are here.
