Plans are Useless

It's a known fact that things never go the way you plan for them to go.  I should have known that this would eventually apply to Mr. L and me as well, but when things are going swimmingly for you, it's hard to imagine anything but all that happiness and good fortune when you're making plans for the future.

For most of his life, Mr. L knew that he was going to be involved with the military somehow.  When he was a kid, he thought that the Army would ultimately be his path, but when the Army recruiter wasn't in on the day he went to sign up, the Navy recruiter stepped in and snatched him up.  It's funny how something so small can have a major impact on your life, isn't it?  I most likely never would have met Mr. L if it weren't for that Army recruiter being MIA!

And just for fun...my and Mr. L's first picture together...we were babies!

Two Year Hawaiian Anniversary

It's SO crazy for me to think about, but Mr. L and I have officially been living in Hawaii for two years now!

At Makapu'u Lookout, just a few days after moving here

I always thought the time would drag on sooo slowly because we'd be so far away from anything I'd ever known, but I can honestly say time is moving TOO fast.  We're going to start looking at orders soon, y'all.  I can't even fathom that right now!

Coffee or Tea?

Even before we moved into our new house a few weeks ago, I had already begun brainstorming where exactly all of our things were going to be set up.  I knew that we would be putting a little coffee bar area somewhere near the kitchen, but I wasn't sure exactly where.  Originally I wanted to put it next to the pantry, but it turns out our cart was a little too wide to fit comfortably.  I rolled it over to the dining room for a second, and wouldn't you know it, I immediately found it's new home -- tucked into the back of the dining room.
