mmm.. not sure if I agree

You're a Weasel!

Cunning and conniving, the only thing darker than your motives is your
reputation. People shy away from you, consider you slimy, and warn their children not
to make friends with people like you. A rare few have even threatened to skin you
alive. The good news is that you're clever enough to keep away from others for the most
part. You are most popular when screeching.

Birds of paradise and Flaming Goats?

Yeah.. that's right, two updates in one day! Can you handle it?

So after the graduation party we went to Applebees (it took FOREVER to get a table), the next day my mother made breakfast for us and Micah's parents. Then we had a big ol' BBQ that afternoon.. Praise God for fabulous weather! Lots of our friends and family joined us for this time of hanging out and some got to see our house for the first time. It was fun.. but after this weekend.. I have to tell you that we were both ready for a vacation!

On that Wednesday we left for Kauai. Kauai is the Garden Isle and is gorgeous.. we took lots of pics but most of them didn't capture the breathtaking beauty of this island where God seemed determined to show off.


This is at the B&B we stayed at our first 2 nights.. about 4 miles inland.. really nice.

This is the ocean view from the resort we were at for the other 4 nights






us by the pool...

Beaches..


Micah trying to catch the "big one"
(wave, that is)

Me.. trying to catch a little one.. and trying to keep my swimsuit :)



(above)In the distance is the "forbidden island". As we understand it, you have to be Hawaiian to go there but they sell tours $$$ so you can go and boat around it (you still can't go ON the island).

Tropical fishes..























these fish were after me..
can't you see it in their eyes?









--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Birds of Paradise.. what does that make you think of.. is it this?

or these..

Chickens! Chickens EVERYWHERE!

Legend has it that years ago when Mongoose were being imported to Kauai to take care of the bird population the man that was unloading the crate onto the dock got bit by the mongoose and knocked it into the bay.. they have never tried to get rid of the chickens since.. they don't belong to anyone but you are not supposed to feed them. If you want to catch one and take it home for dinner they don't seem to care..

Micah and I were talking and he said the Rooster is the "bird of paradise" instead of the Flaming goat. ???? What??? I laughed really hard and then figured out that he said Flamingo but I just didn't hear it right! So.. there you have it.

The following pictures are of our trip to the Wiamea Canyon (I think I spelled it right).
Breathtaking.
















































the beach is that way..

ON TO THE LUAO!





mmm.. the food was so good..


















Yeah.. I looked hot in that hula outfit!
Oh wait.. that isn't me! Who is the chick with my husband?














What is she doing? What is HE doing?
He got called up to dance.. if you know Micah at all you know that he was really embarassed.. so I took pictures :) Like a good wife..












That's me. Whiter and slightly more skin covered than on that hula girl!

Less than 1/12 of a year ago..

my hubby graduated from College! I was and am very excited about this.. but I was too busy being in Hawaii to blog about it :)

The graduation from Multnomah was a much anticipated event. Micah seemed to have a hard time getting really excited about it.. as if Dr Lockwood was going to pull a prank on him and he would get up there and they would not actually give him the degree. He walked off the stage and his adoring wife was trying to get a good picture of his grin (and it was a real grin). I got a decent picture but was in trouble because I was right in the way and a guy was telling me I had to move while I was trying to get a shot of Micah.. and then the other picture I got has someone else in it.. they were trying to duck through my picture but I got their face nice and clear. I have no idea who he is. Anyway. Graduation was exciting. I am so proud of my husband for working hard and getting through school!

We have a lot of awesome friends too.. they showed up and ate cookies to show their friendship :)


My camera takes forever to actually take the picture.. sorry you guys had to hold that pose for so long :)

Emily & Bethany were there.. although it looks like they weren't able to get into a group photo with the star of the night ;)

Molly's parents.. and us

Cami dressed up like a graduate too! (He did actually graduate)

Micah's parents were there too but the one picture I took of them is NO Good.. so I am hoping to get one from their camera.. I'll update this blog entry with that picture when I get it :)
