Getting Started

So I decided that I am going to give this blog thing a shot. I have been stalking people for months by looking at their blogs and decided that I would let people in on what is going on in our life. So here we go....

Brandon and I got married on Sept. 28, 2007. It has been about seven months now and we have enjoyed a lot of adventures since then... Here are some of the things we have been able to do.

HONEYMOON
Brandon surprised me by taking me to Cabo for our Honeymoon. It was awesome. We stayed in an all inclusive resort and enjoyed days of laying by the pool and soaking in the sun. I am so ready to go back! Do you love the guy on the side of our picture? I knew he was going to be in it! At least he's got a good body :)

Zip lining in the desert! Zip lining was one of our favorite activities that we did on our Honeymoon. I am a fairly cautious person, as many know, it took me some courage to make the intial jump and this is even my second time going zip lining. This was Brandon first time and he had no fear from the beginning and offered to be the first to give it a go. Not a big surprise.

The Honeymoon was amazing, but it was really weird when Brandon started hitting on another woman (or maybe that is a man?)....

CABO CRUISE
About 2 weeks after we returned home from our Honeymoon to Cabo, my kind kind brother, Jason, invited us to join him with his company, NorthStar Alarm, on a cruise to Cabo. We couldn't pass up this opportunity so we packed our bags again and went back to Cabo. We had so much fun hanging out with everyone.

Our amazing Glass Bottom boat tour around the famous Cabo Arch (for the 2nd time that month)!

Enjoying some love in Cabo :)

Me, Brandon, Mervis and Dave all made the wise choice of being Pirates for the Halloween party on the Cruise! We got into charactor and made up pirate names.. Boneyard Brandon, Barnacal Becky, Scurvey Mervy, Dangerous Dave. Say those out loud in a pirate accent. lol.

The whole gang all decked out....

And of couse we finished off the party with some dancing.... You can totally notice Dave's glass eye in this picture :)

HAWAII
We finished off 2007 with a trip to Hawaii! We first went to Maui for a couple days and then spent the rest of the week in Oahu. I was very excited to take Brandon to Maui and show him all of the places and people that I love. It was so great to go back!! It however rained more then I was planning... I planned no rain and it rained the whole time so we didn't get to swim in the ocean as much as I would have liked. Not knowing that was going to be the case, we wore our swimsuits the whole time. Luckly I brought a sweatshirt!

We found the Red Sand Beach!

One of our first stops in Maui was Hana. There is so much to do out here so we were running around trying to see and do everything. The Red Sand Beach has been a place that I have wanted to go for a long time. It is somewhat difficult to find... and the last time I thought I found it just to find out when I got home that I didn't. So this time... We found it!

Black Sand Beach

This is one of my favorite places. It was starting to rain so we didn't stay here as long as I would have liked.

Seven Sacred Pools Maui has had a lot of rain, so these once calm pools that we used to swim in and jump off the waterfalls, were gushing out water! So unfortuantly it was way to dangerous to swim. It was really cool to see but we will have to go back when the rain stops so Brandon can jump off the waterfall. I know that he was a little sad that he wasn't able to do that.

Bamboo Forest

We attempted to hike to a waterfall (there was too much water so we didn't make it) and on the way you walk through a huge bamboo forest. As you can see, I am trying with all my might to hold myself up, barely getting my feet off the ground... meanwhile Brandon makes it look easy. Keep in mind it took me a while to get the camera going so he was hanging like this for a while.

Corrina!!! I love this girl! Corrina took good care of me out in Hawaii. It was so fun to see her and her family again.

Little Nalani! Brandon and I were able to stop and see my favorite family. And little Nalani isn't so little anymore! Nalei and Nalu have grown up as well. It was so fun to hang out with them for awhile.

Dinner at Duke's

Stone Security treated everyone to a dinner at Duke's one night. We went all out!

Hanauma Bay

Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was an adventure. It was kind of chilly and started to rain. I stuck it out as long as I could but I could not focus on snorkeling becuase my body was freezing! Needless to say I did not see much. I think Rob was the one that had the best time.

Northshore of Oahu

Rob and Brandon are scoping out the surf with the local surfers with their $10 boogy boards that we picked up at Foodland. They fit in perfectly :)

Polynesian Culture CenterYou can't go to Oahu and not see the Polynesian Culture Center. It was awesome.

Waikiki Beach

We spent our last day in Hawaii on the beach. There are so many people on Waikiki Beach!

On our way to the airport... We rode in style to back to the airport! It was really sad to leave...

We Love Hawaii!!! So many good times!
