Today was our annual easter egg hunt at my dad's house. Its always fun to get together with family especially on the holidays. Easter egg hunts are fun around my family because most of the eggs are filled with money. The kids love it, because two dollars feels like a million dollars to them. The sad part about today was Josh is still in Lousiana and it's always hard to celebrate holidays without your spouse.
Josh and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on April 6th. Josh is in Lousiana for a couple weeks with work so I flew out there for a week so we could be together. It was so nice to be together on our anniversary even if it was spent in Shreveport, Lousiana. We managed to find an awesome steakhouse for dinner. I can't believe we have been married for 2 years. I love being married and I feel so blessed to have found such a wonderful man.
So I know it looks a little creepy and old manish, but I had to share Josh's great mustache with everyone. Every March all the guys in the squadron decide to grow a mustache cause why else not its March right????? So Josh has been growing this crazy mustache all month long, and yes I am excited that this month is almost over. I have to admit I am getting a little used to it because I see it every day, but its about time for it to go.
Last week Josh and I and my family all went to Kauai. This is on of our favorite places to vacation. We went there on our honeymoon 2 years ago, so it was so nice to go back again. The island is so beautiful and green this time of year. We did a lot of fun things including zip-lining 80 feet up in the trees, a sunset whale watching cruise, kayaking to a waterfall, and of course laying on the beach. I must say I love the beach. Dustin and Melanie's had a rough time when Brock came down with bronchiolitis and a double ear infection. Not fun when you are away from home. But I think it was nice for all of us to get away and enjoy the ocean breeze. While we were on our sunset cruise a huge whale jumped out of the water about 50 feet in front of our boat. It was a pretty amazing experience. I think Josh and I have convinced ourselves that we need to move to Kauai. Wouldn't that be the life!
So Josh really doesn't like parties but it was his 30th birthday how could I not throw him a party. I tried to make it a suprise but I think he figured it out earlier on Saturday, I guess its the thought that counts. It was a great success both families were there along with some friends. I made Cafe Rio pulled pork burritos which is Josh's favorite meal. My husband is so great and he does so much for me, I just wanted him to know how special he is. He said that was the best party he has ever had. He married the right girl for good parties.
I went to Denver for the first part of the week to visit one my dear friend Sarah Cross. She was living with her parents while her husband in in Iraq. I really envy her because she was making the long trip back to Misawa Japan alone with her 7 month old. Plus he was sick with RSV for the trip back. It was so good to see her, Josh and I met them in Arizona and it was so sad to part ways when we moved. Maybe one day we will live in the same state for 3 years.
Josh and I have been married for 4 years. Our first child Olivia was born in January. Josh has a 6 year old girl named Emma. We are loving our little family.
