My apologies for not keeping up with my posts. December has been a blur packed with travel, friends, holidays and course the four letter word...work. We started the month of by celebrating Nic's birthday on the Big Island. We had a blast exploring waterfalls, rainforests, lava and cattle farms. I also took my first and last ride in a helicopter. That was a bad idea. It pretty much panned out the same way deep sea fishing did for me. My favorite part was exploring the exotic waterfalls a
nd getting rained on in the rain forest (odd).This month we also had some special guest appearances. Kipp and Jason came to stay with us for four days and of course the Three Amigos had fun being boys and nerding out. Neither of them had been to Hawaii before so it was fun showing them around and so good to wake up to their company. Just a couple days after Kipp and Jason had to fly home we got to spend four more exciting days with our partners in crime, John and Shannon. And yes I did nerd out with Shannon. The first n
ight our mo
uths couldn't move fast enough to catch each other up on everything. We spent most of our days snorkeling, playing in waves and laying in the sun. My little Indian was darker than me after
the first day of being here. Bitch.Amongst all the excitement and travel I also got my first promotion at work. I have already hit the ground running with new tasks and duties which has been keeping me very busy. Not to mention this is our busiest time of the year. I am a slave to furniture I have decided.
And due to my heavy work schedule right now and not being able to be with family Christmas for us was about as exciting as Groundhogs day. The holiday is just not the same in 80 degree weather and without family. Plus, Santa walks around in a Hawaiian shirt with his belly hanging out which pretty much ruined it for me from the beginning. I keep telling myself that my Christmas will come in January when my family comes to visit. I cannot wait!
