Just what the Dr. ordered....

Okay, well she didn't order it, but she did okay it....
and it was a much appreciated getaway for Paul and I.

So brace yourself for a few posts of our adventure....

Paul won an award for work which meant an all expense paid trip to Hawaii
(thanks babe).
So with the help of my amazing mom, who flew out to Arizona to watch the kids,
off we went...


The first 2 nights we were there we had a welcome dinner and an award dinner with his work.

Yummy food and fabulous Hawaiin entertainment got us started on a great va-k!

We had so much fun just being TOGETHER. I did miss my kids, but it was so refreshing to have an entire week just the 2 of us. Getting to spend 6 straight days with Paul in such a beautiful, relaxing place was a dream.



Honestly we spent most of the time at the pool and beach just enjoying the beautiful weather and soaking up the sun (which we welcomed, considering it has been pretty darn toasty at home).

Yes, we are the only people in the world who go to Hawaii to ESCAPE the heat.



Paul kept himself busy snorkeling and swimming in the ocean...he never bores of it.

We also went kayaking in the lagoon which was lots of fun.

One day Paul was even was able to relive his glory days and go surfing, I really wanted to go and learn but with being 5 months pregnant and all I figured laying on a surfboard all day and crashing was probably not the best idea, so I hung back at the hotel and hit the spa for a massage...mmm, I'm falling into a deep state of relaxation just thinking about it.


The view from our balcony...GORGEOUS!

Paul and his buddy getting ready to snorkel.

The 5K was so fun, and such a rush. How long was the race that you did? Myfriend told me about this race in Bisbee, AZ. Ever heard of it? It's a
combination of climbing stairs and running. I think I'm going to do it. It's in October in this little mining town. Not pregnant yet so I figure I might as
well train for stuff until I am. How was Hawaii? I can't believe you went 2 times super close together. I've always wanted to go there. Anyways, we need to get together. We will be gone most of June and here most of July and August. Aren't you going to Utah? Craziness.
