Reece's friend Jayden came to watch the movies with us... And will sleepover too.

Just saw the 9 pm showing of the movie 'UP' Good, funny but sad at times.

Oh my gosh! Six more months till Christmas! Ai ya. Heaven help me.

So.. Today was the 1st day working as an E.A. I cant imagine being a teacher! Just cant. My regards to teachers everywhere.

Iao Valley

There are many places in Maui that hold favorite memories. Iao Valley is one of them. I remember going to Iao when I was young with family members, then as a teenager with friends - and now I go with my kids to enjoy the beauty of the various gardens and ethnic icons on display, sounds of water rushing from the river and the birds singing in the trees. If were lucky - we might get to see a waterfall.

Back from Maui. Had a great time. Will post pictures soon.

Friday Night

Tonight, I had planned to attend an FRG meeting at the Armory where Roy works (ah, when he's here in Hawaii - I mean). But unbeknown to me, the meeting was cancelled and rescheduled for next Saturday. Since were going to be at my In-Laws, we'll miss it.

So not to let a trip to town go to waste, we decided to stop at Nori's Restaurant for saimin. It was about 630pm so perfect time for dinner. I couldn't help but think of the last time we all
ate here with Roy. We came for dinner when he was home for R&R. My thoughts were bouncing between Maui and Roy. Missing them both.

Then while we ate our dinner.. my cell phone ran - it was Roy! What a great surprise!!! I haven't heard from him in about 2weeks. The connection was shaky and the long delay made is hard for Malia to communicate with him, but for about almost 10 minutes.. I had everything I wanted.

To hear from Roy and sitting with the girls enjoying my favorite food - saimin.
How blessed I am.
