Halloween 2006


I rather enjoy Halloween because it gives me the opportunity to come up with some pretty funny costumes. This year's costume was sent to us by my sister, Paula, who found the Spartan Cheerleader (SNL) costumes at a garage sale and thought Andy and I would enjoy them. We certainly did. We attended a Young Men/Young Women Halloween dance (I am the Mia Maids teacher) and were able to do a couple cheers for our adoring fans.

I have decided to post some pictures from our honeymoon as well. Sorry this one is sideways. This picture was taken on the beach in Kauai. Andy had arranged for us to go on a scavenger hunt where we had to go to various locations, complete various tasks and get clues for the next task. It was a lot of fun!! The final location was on the beach where we were served a gourmet meal just before the sun set. It was wonderful.
This is us on the beach in Kauai. We just finished having dinner on the beach. We roasted marshmallows over a small camp fire too.
Andy had arranged for us to take a helicopter tour of Kauai. It was absolutely amazing. This was something I have always wanted to do! I have always loved the mountains in Hawaii and the Na Pali coast is just breath taking!! We had to reschedule the helicopter tour a couple times due to rainy weather that week, but the clouds parted just long enough for us to go on the tour. Because of all the rain they had gotten that week (and the month before we arrived) there were hundreds of waterfalls!! It was so so so beautiful!!!
This is the view from where we stayed in Hanalei. You could see a couple waterfalls in the mountains off in the distance--that is, whenever the clouds parted long enough for us to get a good look.


This is us at the Coco Palms resort. This is where Elvis filmed most of Blue Hawaii. After hurricane Iniki in 1994, the hotel suffered from a series of financial problems including insurance issues and it eventually closed. The island is still recovering from hurricane Iniki. We had gone on a tour that took us to a variety of places where movies were filmed on Kauai. We saw where they filmed parts of Jurassic Park, 7 Days and 7 Nights, Blue Hawaii etc. The cool thing was that each of the places where movies were filmed were absolutely beautiful locations.

Wedding Pictures







I've been wanting to post some of our favorite wedding pictures online for quite a while and finally decided to create a blog. I'm not really one who keeps a regular journal, so I hope you enjoy whatever gets posted.
