It's been a busy summer for me this year. Usually we don't do anything but sit around the house, but not this summer something has constantly been going on. I'm ready for a break and back to doing nothing again.

I did make it to Hawaii and back. I left on September 1st and returned on September 9th. We had a LOT of fun this time. Not that I don't usually but this time we did a lot of different things. When I first got there one the 1st, we went on a sailboat ride. It was really a rough ride, since the waves were coming in really big. Then my sister and I went parasailing up 600ft. It sounds really scary but it's not as bad as it looks. The guy that took us up end up ducking us completely under water on our way out and on our way back in. I think that's what made it. We wish now that we would have did the cloud kicker height instead of just 600ft, but we had never done it before and was a little scared. Then we flew to Kaua'i on Wednesday of that week. That island is pretty much all country but it's beautiful. We went and seen what they call the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. It was georgeous! Then we took a raft boat ride that took us around to a side of this island that is only visible through air or boat. It took 2 1/2 hours to get there and then 2 1/2 hours back and this was some rough riding. I never felt like I had been bounced around so much as I did that trip. It was a blast though and talk about some pretty sites. BEAUTIFUL!!!! We stayed in a really nice motel that was right on the beach, so at night we went down and sat on the beach and just listened to the ocean. Talk about relaxing, it was wonderful. I also was able to spend some time with my sister's finance as well. He is really nice and big Sis approves, so all is well on this end.

I'm back home now and have finally recovered from jetlag. Hawaii is six hours behind us, so it was a little rough getting up and going back to work the following day. It was all worth it though!!

Well, I'm going to get off here and will try to send some pictures of Hawaii once I get them all downloaded to the computer. Talk to you all later.
