Anniversary!!
Ten years ago today I married my best friend and the love of my life. If you want to read more about how we met, you can read it here. Happy Anniversary babe! I love you - always and forever. Thank you for being my best friend, a great husband, a kind and loving father and a great provider for our family. I am very blessed to have you in my life! Here's to many, many more years together!!
Jon Paul made good on his promise to take me back to Maui. For our tenth anniversary, we went back to Maui and stayed in the exact same condo that we honeymooned in ten years ago. It was beautiful, exotic, romantic and lots of fun! We stayed a week. We didn't want to leave, but were ready to come home and see the girls. I plan to blog about our entire trip, but here are a few of my favorite pictures from the week. Enjoy!

Saturday Photo Hunt - Technology
I set this post to auto-post before we left on our trip. I knew I would not get a chance to blog this day because this is our trip to Oahu day! We leave around 6:30am to fly over to Oahu. In the morning we plan to tour Pearl Harbor and in the afternoon we are taking a five hour Lost Tour in a Hummer! We love the show LOST and cannot wait to see tons of places where the TV show has filmed. I'm sure I will have a lot to write about afterwards! We won't be flying back to Maui until around 9:30pm tonight. So, on to the technology...
We got this new washer and dryer set when we moved into our new house. I L-O-V-E these things. I am happy technology is where it is when it comes to washing and drying clothes. Technology - thanks from me for not having to use a washboard!! :)
I just thought this photo of Rachel is funny. This was the first Nintendo DS we owned. It was the style right before they released the DS Lite. Rachel loved it from the beginning and found a great new way to play it - upside down! We now have three DS Lites in the house. Technology - ain't it grand?!?!?
This is another photo that makes me laugh. This was after Jon Paul got his first Smart Phone. Here he is, playing on the Smart Phone, with his laptop in his lap, all while sitting at the desk with our desktop computer right next to him. Technology - what would we do without it?
Here is Jon Paul and a baby Rachel (only 18 days old!). This was our first laptop! I won't tell you how many we have had since then, which was only seven years ago! Technology - gotta start 'em young!
Here is Jon Paul with one of his MANY computers. He says this was somewhere between 1991 and 1994. He was running a BBS (Bulletin Board System) at this time. Technology - without it, I would never have met Jon Paul!
And yet another photo of Jon Paul in his early years. He said he got this computer his senior year in high school - 1990. I asked him, "Was that a color monitor?" He said, "Yes, it had 16 colors." Today, color monitors have 16,777,216 colors!! Technology - you've come a long way baby!

Cats - Volume 1
Well, I had two more posts to come up with. Both are while we're in Maui. I am really hoping to blog from there, but in case I'm not able to, I wanted to have posts set to autopost so I can fulfill my NaBloPoMo quota. So, here is random cat post #1. I thought I would share some pictures of both cats this time - Kathy and Bella.
Bella wants Kathy to like her so much. Kathy still isn't real fond of Bella. She hisses at her many times a day. But Bella just keeps trying. She watches Kathy, follows her around and picks on her any chance she can get. But when Kathy is sleeping, Bella watches, with a wish in her eye that she wants to snuggle with her.
Sorry for the glare, but they sat very close this time and Kathy never hissed at her. She did growl under her breath, but they even touched noses!
Jon Paul couldn't eat in peace. Both cats wanted a bite of his lunch.
You can't really see Kathy in this photo, but she is in the chair. Bella wanted in the chair with her, but Kathy was swiping and hissing at her. So, Bella got on the desk and watched her from above. And as soon as Kathy got out of the chair, Bella got down and chased her!
God knew exactly what kind of kitten this house needed. One that was brave and had a strong will. To put up with Kathy, she needs it! Bella is tough and will one day make Kathy love her, whether Kathy wants to or not!!
