Aloha to Lori and Cody

One of the best parts of our trip was visiting Lori & Cody in Hilo! It was one of the best reunions I've ever had. I loved the beaches, the relaxed atmosphere, the sunny days, and especially going to Kona, yeah. Being there made me want to move to Hawaii and live with them in their cute house- it's such an amazing place!

Aloha Hawaii

For our 1st anniversary, my sweetheart Dave surprised me with a trip to Hawaii! I was shocked and didn't believe him for about 3 days, but then I thought I should start packing just in case! It was one of my favorite trips ever and what a way to celebrate one of my favorite years ever!

You say it's your birthday...

We got the biggest pizza I have ever seen, and ever eaten! It belongs in a record book of some sort. Amazing how our family ate not one, but TWO of them. Actually, if anybody could do it, it would be the Sorensen's, and we'd still be ready for peanut m&m's a little later :) I think this pizza was over 27" across; it couldn't even fit through the minivan sliding door! But it sure was delicious!

I'm going to Disneyland

If I had just won the superbowl, and someone asked me what I was going to do next, there would be no doubt in my mind.... I'd say I was going to Disneyland! It truly is the happiest place on earth, and I don't care how old you are; it gets more fun each time you go! It brings out the kid inside everyone and makes all your worries disappear. I loved each and every moment, from Space Mountain to the Matterhorn, from Small World to the Teacups. Truly magical!

Sunny San Diego

This July we were able to go on vacation with most of the Sorensen clan, and what better place to go than San Diego? A little beach, shopping, eating, sleeping, and playing makes for a near-perfect mid-summer getaway.

Birthday BBQ

Some of our new-found friends, Courtney and Scott, had a surprise birthday BBQ to celebrate Scott's birthday. A great time was had by all with lots of good music, food, and friends. I especially loved the "Pirates of the Caribbean" motif going on, just how a boy's birthday party should be. Thanks to Courtney for inviting us and Happy Birthday to Scott!
