why i no longer live in Hawaii…

I often get asked why we moved from Hawaii, and my answer has always been, “God told us to.” We never really had one answer on why He told us to move! Today, I think I figured out why!

Living in Hawaii is not good for my health!

I’d planned to have dinner at Assagio’s with some college friends at 7PM on March 15th. Yesterday, I got an invite for a dear friend’s bridal shower at noon at the same restaurant! No problem, I can do the shower…I emailed friends, and we’re still on for dinner, but we switched restaurants.

Today, I found out that I’m also supposed to go to a friend’s son’s first birthday party at noon! Oy!

This is what living in Hawaii was like for us! And that doesn’t include all our family craziness…I mean, parties!

Eat, eat, eat. That’s what Hawaii means! Well, that’s kind of what San Diego means, too, but it doesn’t involve so many people all the time!:)

ETA: I will be taking periodic breaks from eating while in Hawaii. I will be shooting a wedding and a couple of portrait sessions. If you’d like to further give my belly a break by booking a portrait session, feel free to contact me. My jeans will thank you! :)

that’s the breaks of being popular i guess…i wouldn’t know, i don’t get invited out for dinner too much.

When are you guys going home? I assume it’s all of you since JohnJohn said the kids can go dye some eggs at the house. Anyway, I’ll be home from March 9-16…perhaps if you guys are there I will get to see you?!? Well tell everyone “hi” and if I don’t get to see you, have a good time and enjoy the food!!! I know I will!

Looking forward to seeing you soon……..I feel your pain but at the same time……….I’ve never known you to gain any weight ……or maybe weight gain does occur on fingernails these days :) ……..you are probably the same size since I’ve known you …..and it’s been over 10 years … you are truly blessed……..it.must be in the genes :) Lucky!
