Jake & I left our kids with family and headed to Hawaii for 8 days! This is the place where I grew up, met Jake, fell in-love, got married, and spent our first couple years of marriage. Needless to say, it's a pretty special place for us. It was amazing to be back and share it with Jake's family.
Day 1: ride in limo to our hotel. Go to Pearl Harbor. Swim at the beach and watch the sunset.

you came to hawaii and didn't stop by.... well I gues you all just have to come back now! Im sad I missed you! I have not been on for about 5 months so I guess its my bad. Being a mommy I never have time for the computer, plus I got a phone and to type up a blog takes to much work. e-mail me @ hmp_marie@hotmail.com It's a better way to keep intouch.
