My resolution for 2025: to embrace the opportunities to slow down. Hawaii was a wonderful reset for us as we close the chapter on 2024.
As I tucked my daughter in her bed tonight, she asked me what I would buy if I had all the money in the world? And staring at her sweet face, I could only think of one word, and so I climbed into bed next to her, and whispered it in her ear, I’d buy time, sweet love of mine, I’d buy time. ~Mary Antoinette
On our last day in Hawaii, we visited Pearl Harbor…a time to reflect on our history and honor those who served.
I’ve got to brag on Mitch for just a minute!!! Every girl should be this lucky!!! He plans and organizes and makes all their dreams come true. He remembers the details and doesn’t miss a beat…right down to prescription goggles for snorkeling so they can SEE IT ALL!!
He was so patient with the girls helping them learn to snorkel. Yesterday morning he got up and moving early to get them boogie boards for the beach. He walked and got us DoorDash lunch from a local restaurant, and when he walked back on the beach, to our surprise, he rented a surfboard. Then he spent the next two hours (at least) in the water helping them learn how to surf. Not surprising, they were up riding waves in no time. Core Christmas Memory, one they’ll never forget with their dear Dad!
Took a hike this morning to Manoa falls. It drizzled rain on us all the way up, but the trees provided shelter for most of it. The views were breathtaking and we loved every minute of it. Even the chicken…who crossed the road! #whydidthechickencrosstheroad
