Visitors from Alaska and Oregon!


Friendship is such a gift. 
Since moving to Hawaii in December, I have made quite a few new friends. But something about a friend who has known for a long time just refreshes my soul. My sister, Shelly, was able to come visit in April, and my friend, Katie, came the first week of June. What a blessing to have these two spend time, energy, and money to come see my life here, and spend time with me and my family in the sun. :)
I was encouraged, challenged, and loved on by both women and tremendously enjoyed both of their babies that accompanied them! 


 Shelly and I enjoying the West side of Oahu...my first time as well as Shelly's!!

Evan and Duke eating sand-covered crackers and working on their tan at Waimea Bay.


Katie, Aniyah, Duke, and I at my favorite coffee shop, Coffee Gallery, sharing hazelnut latte's and blueberry scones. 

Duke and Aniyah sharing a kiss.  
I think we'll save this picture for their wedding slideshow. :)





I'm looking forward to more visitors....who's next?!
