We're Baaack.. kinda

Well we made it back.. kinda. we went to Hawaii had the best time ever and then came home. I was supposed to come home on Sun and then turn around and drive back to Cali for Christmas but in the end Shaun and I decided it probably wasn't worth the extra 20 hours of driving and 200 bucks in gas, so he flew home as planned and I am still here, i will be here until next year! CRAZY! i have not been gone for that long in a long time! Now i am at my dad's perfume shop trying to earn some Christmas money because i wont be babysitting! fun fun! actually i like the shop! I would post some pictures but this computer doesn't have the right connection to my camera so maybe next time.. anyway. in Hawaii...
We got there and they said it was the worst storm they had had in over 20 years, worse than any hurricane.. awesome! half the island was out of power luckily not our hotel so it was bad, but it turned out OK, we got there for the last 2 days so we did things anyway, it was still 85ish and shorts and T-shirt weather so we hiked the seven sacred pools (and witnessed a really cool flash flood and then decided our trail was going under and we better hurry back) then we went to a pineapple plantation, snorkeled in the rain, and then it decided to get sunny, so we went on a helicopter ride of the island and Molokai, then laid out and got tan, i am sure it will all be gone by the time i get home but Shaun said "you like a lot better with a tan" thanks Captain Obvious! who doesn't? it was funny. We had some friends come over from the big island and played games and laid out, we drove up the Haleakala crater and did a little mini hike. it was so nice! it was really hard to come back to reality (aka KIDS) but i don't think i have ever seen Kailey so excited to see us! she came with my dad to the airport to pick us up and was practically out of the car jumping when she saw us. it was cute. So now we are here is 65 degree weather instead of 85 degree weather and thankfully not in 25 degree weather! I think we are sold on moving back to California.. someday..... so now we get to buy Christmas here and Shaun gets to bring me a lot of stuff because i wasn't prepared for the long haul stay! anyway. i hope you all enjoyed my novel! and enjoy the weather where ever you are! pictures to come soon...
