Horse Riding in Hawaii!

I feel so lucky to get to ride horses in Hawaii! It reminds me of home and its such a nice feeling!! I miss my horses so much and this helps feed that need LOL :) So how this all started was, I met this awesome friend (Marlo) through one of the guys in our office. He knocked on her door and she bought a security system from him. Kade came to pick him up for the night, because they were finished working, and Marlo invited Kade into her home to have a bite to eat with the other guy. They got talking and Kade noticed her horse outside and asked about it. He told her that I LOVE horses and grew up with them, and she told him to have me call her! So I called her and we are now training her new horse together. She was into horses for a long time and then got out of it for a while and now is back into it. Marlo knows a lot of people at the equiestrian center, which is kinda by her house, and so she took me there and introduced me to a bunch of her friends. Her friends invited us to come ride their horses the next day. Kade and I went over there the next day and I had a blast!!! It was seriously so much fun for me! The owner of the horse's name is Jeffery, and he told me that I could have the horse for the summer, if I would come and ride him! He even told me to change its name if I wanted to!!! haha! Such a cool experience! So it looks like I get to ride horses all summer!!! :) So HAPPY!!!!







At the equestrian center they spray their horses down after riding them, once they've cooled down. The weather is always nice here so they can do that! I wish that we had nice enough weather all year round so that we could do that to! I seriously love this horse though! He is so fun to ride and so fun to be around!



This is a race track at the equestrian center! Such a beautiful sight! I wish I could just transplant this whole facility right to my back yard! LOVE IT! I feel so lucky to have this opportunity!

Random Hawaii

So this is just a ramdom post because I'm suck a slacker on my blog! So I'll just give a brief explanation of the pics.
We went to the temple the other day in Kona and we were just getting in our car to leave and Kade said, "Come here I have something to show you". He had spotted some horses in the distance. Two of my most favorite things in the whole world are horses and the temple!!!!!!


I thought this horse needed a Hawaiian flower since he lives in Hawaii! haha!

The sunsets and sunrises are amazing here....absolutely amazing!!

Happy Anniversary!

So I found this picture looking through all my files, I had forgotton about it. It was a few years ago when I was in the Young Womens Presidency, and we had a Young Women's in excellence night and the husbands served all of us and the Young Women. It's really the only picture that I have of us all dressed up fancy other than our wedding day..........so I thought I would put it on here:)

I can't believe 6 years has gone by! So crazy! Where does time go, and at the same time, 6 years really isn't that long! I'm so lucky to have such a great man! He is the best! I don't know how I got so lucky! Each year that goes by I say to Kade, "Wow, that was an amazing year! How could life get any better!!??" And the crazy thing is, each year together gets better and better! We are so blessed! We love serving the lord and growing close together through him!

Happy Happy Anniversary to my Heat Swart! (Sweetheart) Kade likes to change the letters around on everything so instead of you are my sweetheart, you are my heat swart! ;)
