(I am! I am!)
It's been so nice and toasty here in Albuquerque that I thought we might get to skip winter this year. Unfortunately, the temperature right now is in the 30s. So much for wishful thinking!

Have a fun - and WARM - weekend, everyone!

We had a looooong flight. Getting from Albuquerque to Oakland was fine, (other than having to get up at 3am!) Getting from Oakland to Honolulu was a different story. First, SN realized that I had been assigned a seat and he had not, next our flight was delayed 2 hours, and when we finally boarded the plane, we had to wait on the runway another 1/2 hour because of bad weather. Oh yeah, and the $5 ice cream I bought at the airport was terrible. WE ARE HAPPY THOUGH!  :)  :)   :)  Everyone is getting along and we have been having a wonderful time. We saw a monk seal on the beach and ate lunch at a really tasty bakery today. We barbequed last night and went swimming tonight. There is some big news - no more Captain Howie! That's right, after an entire year of planning, we decided to scrap the entire Captain Howie/Kualoa Ranch wedding at the last moment and planned an entirely different wedding in just a few hours. I'll post more about that another time though. We're getting up …

I'm basking in my last few days of Christmas Break freedom before returning to work on Monday.

Really, the transition back into the real world shouldn't be very hard. I'm off on Tuesday.

Now, let's link up! Remember, the blog hop from today will be back next week, featuring the best posts from this weekend. It gives you extra exposure for your time spent sharing links - and it's another opportunity to check out great posts you missed.
