Best Moment of My Life!
Tonight I experienced one of the most amazing evenings of my life! I was kind of having a rough day and wasn't quite sure why I was feeling off, I just was! Well, I was sitting talking with Austin and I was explaining to him how I just didn't feel too happy today and just as my eyes began to fill with tears Austin goes into the next room, just for a moment and walks back to the doorway. As he is leans against the doorway he says, "Is there anything I can do to brighten your day?" As I began to reply, this beautiful, colorful gift is placed in my lap!
Austin put so much thought into my birthday gift this year! He found the perfect items, showing that he not only pays attention to what I like, he went out of his way to put it so perfectly together! My sad tears quickly turned to happy tears as he only continued to melt my heart by saying, "I love you so much I hope this brightened your day!"

Tropical Paradise!
Temple beach, our first morning in Hawaii we woke up early and walked on the beach!
Temple Beach
If you look very closely you can see the little crab that Austin caught, I couldn't believe how fast their little legs move!
Although our vacation was full of fun new things to see and do, I think that visiting the Pearl Harbor memorial was by far the most emotionally charged. Even though we learned about the bombing of Pearl Harbor in High School seeing the memorial, visiting the active burial site was overwhelming.
This is inside the memorial, it is a list of all the men that lost their lives.
This is the memorial to the survivors of the bombing that since have passed away and their ashes have been laid to rest.
Yet, another one of my favorite memories! Ryan, Courtney, Austin, and I decided to go to Turtle Beach hoping to see some turtles! Much to our surprise we not only saw one turtle we were able to see about 10-12 turtles all so close that we could touch them!!!! It was incredible, to see these peaceful creatures in their own environment with seeming to not have a worry in the world!
Just before Austin and I left for Hawaii we went on Groupon and purchased a two hour sailing adventure! It was amazing there were only about 20 people on the boat and we were able to see two maybe three breaching whales, a sea turtle and HUGE waves! It was such an awesome experience!

The Dole Plantation was so much fun, we toured the facility and had some delicious Pineapple Whip!

Friday we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, WOW what an amazing day that was we visited nearly all of the villages and ended the day with the jaw dropping night show and a Luau with Ryan and Courtney! Our vacation would not have been nearly as amazing without the time we were able to spend with them and we are both so thankful for all the time the dedicated to us while we were there!
This truly was the most memorable vacation I have ever had, I look forward to planning the next tropical getaway!

TWO YEARS IN THE MAKING!
As most of you are aware Austin, Claire, and I have been a family for just about two years now! Austin and I started dating May 22, 2011 and as the time passes things only continue to get better! We spend most all of our free time together, going on fun adventures as a family and we look forward to many more years of fun! I hope you all enjoy following our many memories as we have had a wonderful time making them!
I have never been so in love! I truly feel that our little family is so blessed that we have found each other!
She is such a sweetheart, I am so lucky to be part of her life!
