i am the proud owner of lots of airline tickets - in the next three months i'll be in kentucky, kansas and washington dc for weddings and family stuff. this would be great if it didn't cost eleventy billion dollars to fly anywhere from hawaii! thank god they increased my credit limit. i'm excited to be going, now that everything's finalized - i ( Read more... )

we just had three biggish earthquakes this morning, and it was freakin' sweet! i love this place. :o)

things are moving along just swimmingly here on the big island. i think we have most things ordered for the wedding, and i'm making headway on the favors for the reception. kevan's mom even found some super cheap champagne for the toast, so now i get to buy some to test it out. i think that if i had known how much work these weddings are i might ( Read more... )

65 days to go...

i am, nearly officially, finished with this semester. this means several things, including: 1) i am allowed to read books i am actually interested in; 2) i am also allowed to feel something less than guilty for enjoying myself for more than 5 minutes; and 3) i am now obligated to send out the rest of the wedding invites. boo. if you haven't ( Read more... )
