Hawaii Countdown!

We have exactly one month from today until we take off for Hawaii.
I have picked out my dress for the wedding. Its a really nice black and white
strapless dress. I will also be wearing a flower lei. Daniel is wearing a white
shirt and black pants along with a lei.
We're gonna be taking a massive amount of pics so everybody's gonna have to come
over and watch a big slide show of them on the big screen. Of course we'll provide dinner
for everybody that comes!
I'm also very excited about traveling by air for the first time. Excited and kind of nervous actually... :( Hopefully, it won't be too bad and Daniel won't end up with my lunch in his lap. LOL. :)
We are planning on sampling the local fare... spam and eggs all around! No, just kidding. We are also gonna go parasailing! I can't wait to do that.
This is kind of like a honeymoon for us, since we never took one, so we are both extremely excited...
Next is swimsuit shopping....cringe LOL

My Grandpa Turns 80!

My grandfather turned 80 in April. This is a picture of the tough old guy. He has been a farmer, father, sawmill worker, and grandfather. My grandmother died 6 years ago. He hasn't changed a bit. He still plants a massive garden every year. We could all learn a little from him. He says that farming keeps him young, and that when he can no longer farm then his life is not worth living.
This year he has planted 8 rows of cucumbers!!! He is an amazing person, and I think he has at least 10 years left in him. Maybe one day we'll be able to send his bday into Willard Scott!!! Anyway, this post is dedicated to my Grandpa. May he live out his years in comfort and surrounded by family and friends.
