It's Been A While

Well as the title says, it's been a while. We have been crazy busy over the last year. The schoolyear finished up, Matt got his Masters, I lost my job, then got it back but still don't know what I'm doing. I finally found out that I do have a room, but still have to share. I'm crossing my fingers that it's not true; I just want my own space for once, is that too much to ask?

This summer has been crazy busy as well. Matt of course has been working his tookus off, I've been shopping way too much and teaching sports camp again. But now to reward our hard work we have come out to Maui to get our summer on and see Doug and Nancy.

As I sit and write it's way too early in the morning on Maui, but since I'm still on Oregon time my body thinks it 9am. The rooster is crowing again and the sun is rising. It's pretty awesome, except for the rooster who may have to die this trip if he wakes me up every morning. I have already Googled coq au vin recipes, so watch out rooster.

Yesterday when we got in, we went out to lunch with Nancy, Lissie, and Doug. Then we went to Doug's office and he showed us around, looking very proud to have some of his family here. Lissie is finishing up nursing school in December, so she's already starting to scope out places. After that we came back to our home away from home, the O'hana at Doug and Nancy's. We freshened up and then Matt whipped us all at a game of Hand and Foot. Don't ever believe him when he says that he doesn't know how to play a game, he lies.
We had dinner on the new fabulous deck, and then watched All The Queen's Men (Matt fell asleep, it didn't really blow his skirt up).

And now it's onto day 2. We're going over to Lahina I believe for some beach, sun, snorkeling, and reading. Wa-hoo!

  1. Hurray for the return of the Bartons' Adventures!!! :) I"m glad you guys are having a blast in Hawaii so far... and jealous that I'm not there as well, haha!

    We need to get together one final time before summer is really over, I think. And maybe we can FINALLY work that zoo trip in??

    Enjoy yourselves Bartons, you deserve it! <3 from your Godson & friends - Rachael, Liam & Aaron
