  • …it was a sign

    On our second full day in Hawaii, we got up early and hiked Diamond Head to the lookout.  That was fun and it wasn’t too hot since it was early. This is a picture of us from the lookout. Devin wants to know if the sign makes him look fat. When we got back, we…

  • We made it!

    We finally made it to Honolulu around 7pm which I guess isn’t too bad considering we were supposed to get there at 2pm. We took the city bus which had the craziest driver ever.  He liked to accelerate suddenly then hit the brakes…suddenly.  Devin called it the Harry Potter bus.  We got to the hotel…

  • Hot and Humid

    Everyone has been telling us that we came to Houston during the worst possible time.  It is definitely  hot and certainly humid here. Well, wouldn’t you know it…our last few days here it finally decided to cool down a little.  This is one beautiful forecast for the next several days. We have been somewhat disappointed…

For desert I decided to finally make this recipe that I’ve been wanting to try for the last year or so. We saw it on…

  • Out of sight, out of mind

    I couldn’t think of something to blog about. So Devin said, just take the camera and find something around to write about. So, here is the view we have from our bed at my parents house. Notice anything? Well, besides the oddly placed picture that is hanging between the shelves. That was just my mom…

  • Sitting…waiting…

    So today I sit at home waiting for a not-so-friendly stomach flu to pass. Fun. So far today I have managed to keep down two glasses of ginger ale and five pieces of my favorite hard candy, Altoids Tangerine Sours. (Wait for it….ok, six!…knock on wood). I decided not to write any reviews for our…

  • Noteworthy Quotes

    As I sit cruising others’ blogs on an insanely hot afternoon, I decided that there must be something I can blog about. So here it is…a blog about quotes. Several years ago I was fixing something to eat in the kitchen while my mom gabbed with a visiting family member in the living room. My…
