I have tried about 5 different blog posts over the past month or so and for some reason, my "publish post" button wont work! So I don't know what the dealio is! (hopefully I can get this to post!)
Anyways, its almost time for Kade and I to leave this beautiful place, Hawaii! I have so many mixed feelings! I have seriously loved our stay here and would never trade it for anything! Each day has its different emotions, different ups and downs. Some days I'm so ready to come home(which has been felt more so the past 2 to 3 weeks), and other days I have anxiety about leaving too! I have gotten really used to the lifestyle of the weather, the ocean, the beach, the yummy tropical fruit, just everything. Its going to be different to go back to something that was so normal, but now so different too! I can count the time that I wore jeans out here! And I only brought one pair! haha! I miss my family, and my horses and our house and the "rugged mountains" and my friends, we are definately excited to come home! I'm just going to try and let it all soak in for the next 2 weeks and treasure every moment that we have left!
I think there have been a lot of highlights, while we have been here. Of course, sight seeing has been awesome and something we have thoroughly enjoyed! It was so great to have my mom and dad come and share this experience with us, that was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'm grateful for that! We have loved going to the beach everyday and body boarding together, and Kade has loved laughing at me and watching me get tumbled by my first wave!! We've had alot of "firsts" together this summer, since its been a whole new experience for the both of us! And its been awesome! We have loved being able to attend the Kona tmeple! Its one of our favorite temples now! And I think one of our biggest highlights of the whole summer was meeting Elder Uchtdorf! He came to our ward one Sunday and we got to hear him speak! The power of that man is unreal! He is amazing. It was awesome to know that when we looked at him, we were seeing him, in person, and not on a screen and he was seeing us back! We were fortunate to get to meet him and shake is hand and talk with him for a moment. An incredible experience that we will never forget! And in one week from today, Kade's mom and dad are flying in to meet us on the island of Kauai! We are going to island hop before we go home and what an awesome experience that will be for us too!
We can't wait to see everyone and be with our families again. We are grateful to have had this opportunity! We feel so blessed!
