Valentines Day

So for Valentines Day Seth attempted to surprise me with tickets to Molokai for Valentines Day weekend. I say attempted because I accidently found out earlier than he would have liked. But he made it so obvious that something was up. Everyone keeps teasing me about my detective like actions but hey if your husband was gone at 2 o'clock in the morning and you found him talking on the phone in the car wouldnt you be suspisous that something was going on! So being very curious I checked the computer history and sneakily thumbed through seths text messages and put the peices together. I know its terrible but I just had to know what was going on. But anyway it was so sweet of him and we had a great time. We were only gone 1 night as we didnt want to leave baby too long, but it really felt like the perfect amount of time considering how small the island was.
The picture at the top is Seth climbing the Halawa Valley waterfall, I put this picture at the very top just for you honey!








The hike was sponsored by local hawaiians who are trying to perserve the Hawaiian culture by living its ancient teachings in modern times. Such as living off the land and listening to natures ques. Here is a picture of where our guide lived. It is a storage unit! Like the kinds that you get a costco to store tools. We were blown away how simple they lived, yet inspired how life doesnt have to be as complicated as we often make it. I learned that All we really need in life is food, shelter and love, everything else is really irrelevant for our happiness. It was so cool to meet a group of people that are able to sustain themselves on only the things that nature provides them. Our guide was so sweet and actually was one of the final 24 in American Idol Season 3. When I heard of this we were instant friends, as the show is a family favorite. He even sang for us on the hike!


These pictures are at what the locals told us was the longest beach in the world. For some reason we found this very hard to believe. What about those long beaches in california or florida those have to be longer than 3 miles right?






It was incredibly windy on that beach and the sand felt like a million needles on your skin. So Seth build me this wind cave to sit in. I feel this picture is a great reflection of seth and i's relationship, i complain about something so minor and instead of being annoyed with me he accomdates my every need. I always point out his faults and yet he accepts mine. On this trip I really realized what a good husband I have and how I really need to start being more grateful.














Love this pose, one of Marni's friends took a picture like this and now Seth cant seem to stop doing it.

Sol loves Asher so much. Everytime he sees him his faces lights up. Its so cute! By the looks of this picture you may think otherwise but he was actually laughing really hard.







Seth is Mr. Mom this semester while I am going to school, he is such a supportive husband. Here he is hanging out with the boys.
