I can't believe its been ONE YEAR...1 Awesome yr!

(a little late-but we have been extremely busy)

So I have TONZ of pictures on this post! And you have all seen them before but I was enjoying looking at them and remembering this perfect day! OMG! I seriously cant believe Chandler and I have been married for a YEAR! This year has flown by. it has been ONE awesome year. Chandler and I have had so much fun together. We are so in love... everyday is a new, fun, and eventful day together- just like when we first met. We are having a blast out here in Hawaii! Looking back on these photos of our wedding day and watching our wedding video brings back so much emotion. I just wish so bad that we could have that day all over again. The temple ceremony, luncheon, ring ceremony, reception, and everything else was all too perfect! Chandler and I didnt do too much this year for a first anniversary. He and I were right in the middle of moving to a bigger and better apartment here in Hawaii so on May 9th we just went and spent quality time together, went to the most gorgeous private beach, and went out to one of my favorites restaurants ROY'S! We are going to try to plan a little trip to an outer island when we are settled in our new apt and have money again ;)(doesn't this look like a painting?)

our dessert! mmm

A few updates!

Chandler and I have been pretty busy lately! Chandler got invited to play with the Chaminade Golf team as they needed an extra team player. He was so excited that they wanted him to be a part of the team. For a week straight he would say to me everyday a few times a day "Lier, I am so excited to play golf!" He's so cute! His Basketball coaches supported him to play as well. His teachers and Bball coaches have worked with him and with his golf practice and bball practice. The Golf coach hooked him up with some clubs and a few things to get him suited for the matches and tournaments! He has had a blast playing out here in Hawaii. The courses here are a lot narrower and full of humps and hills so its been a fun challenge for Chan to take on! As for now the tournaments are over so it didn't last too long. So other than Chandler's golf, bball practice school, and my work we have been doing great.

We are debating on our options for the summer months. We were thinking about going home to Utah for a few months to work and possibly save money. But we are leaning more towards staying Hawaii. It has become more of a hassle in trying to find a place to put our belongings and our car. Our life is here right now and we are FINALLY settled in and know the lay of the land here and we are happy in our ward and we have met some wonderful friends that we go out with weekly! It is so fun here. I really am growing to love it here. Meeting people and friends we enjoy being around has been the best part! I still say to myself "I live here!?" When we take a ride in the car and I look out the window at stunning views and also do fun things like this at the most beautiful beaches on Oahu...

A lil Beach volleyball! Life doesn't get any better than great music, great people, a great place to live and a great game of Vball! :)

And speaking of friends- My beautiful friend Brea in my ward took me SURFING! It was my first time ever. I was so nervous and anxious at the same time to hit the waves all day! We headed out at 6pm after work one day. It was a lil chilly but so worth it! Brea got me HOOKED! Oh no! A purchase might need to be made soon so she and I can go more this summer! Brea had me practice paddle catching some lil waves in the water and then within a few minutes I GOT UP and rode my first wave for a good length! It really was such an adrenaline rush- I don't think I realized I was riding the surf board until after I fell! The best part is watching the sunset just laying on the board out in the middle of the Ocean!

So we are searching for a new apartment and that process can always be hectic! With still being in limbo on what to do this summer we are still looking to be prepared. We are going to go to a few showings tomorrow- Apartments out here are so expensive! And Ghetto! So we will see what these next few months will hold.

Chandler and I now have Skype! Is it ridiculous that I am addicted to it? lol! It is my new favorite thing. Its just been so fun to talk to my sister's, nieces, and our parents! Oh and my good friend in Australia! Technology now-a-days is just amazing! I love it!

We are coming up on our ONE YEAR anniversary and time has flown by! Such a fun year! Chandler and I decided that it would be fun to take turns every other year planning out our anniversary for each other so that we can each surprise each other with something fun. We can both have fun being surprised and both have fun getting a chance to plan something. He said this yr is MY YEAR! HA!! So we will see what happens!

We are having a blast teaching our 7 year old of the ward. Last week I had all 8 of them by myself as Chan couldn't be there with me and the lesson was on 'Dare To Choose The Right'. It is always such a joy to meet with these little ones each week. It is honestly my favorite thing! I look forward and can't wait til Sundays!

I hope everyone else is happy and things are going as great as they are for Chandler and I. I love reading each and everyone of your Blogs very regularly! Keep up the posts! I enjoy them all! Have a great week!

Water Park

A few people from Chaminade got together to have a day at the water park! I have been wanting to go to Wet N Wild ever since we moved here! Finally we went! It was alot of fun! The park was pretty dead so we didn't have lines to wait in!


I got SO wet on this tube slide! My favorite for sure!
And then this slide was my next fav! You had these mats that you went down on your tummy and elbows! We would race it 4's!
This is Dejan- One of Chan's teammates he is from Serbia

Here is Chan and a few people coming down!


My Channy struttin his cute self ;)

The wave pool produced the biggest waves I have ever seen at any wave pool- The park alternates the wave sessions with tubes then with boogie boards! Kinda cool!

Awe! Cute! I love it!

Shane's trying to attempt the hula hoop!

Chillaxn in the wave pool!

Ryan and Shane on the Shocker!

So fun!

Kailua Beach Park

Chandler's Spring Break week-
We haven't been up to much this week but we did manage to find another beautiful beach here on the island. This is by far the most gorgeous spot on the island. It is Kailua beach located on the windward side. Hence the name it was WINDY! But good for the kite boarders! It was fun to watch many different water sports going on here!

Trying to hold my hat on!

My SEXY husband!
This beach reminded me of our honeymoon. Just white sandy beach with crystal clear warm water!


YUP! I still find myself saying "This is my home?! Really? ...Ah!.... I sure love it!"


This video is kinda cool- It gives you an idea of what Kite boarding is. I will do this someday. It is just very expensive! So fascinating to watch! I was in heaven...I wanted to be out there doing it so bad since it is similar to wake boarding and I haven't even done that in A LONG TIME! In the video this guy is in total control of himself as he is being pulled by the wind. And he glides ever so gently out of the water- So fun!

3D

Chandler and I went to go see Alice In Wonderland a few nights ago! It was a fun date night! The 3D is what made the movie so fun! I have never seen Alice In Wonderland in my life- ever. Its a weird movie but it kept my attention! It had awesome special affects. The things they can do now-a-days with movies is just beyond me! lookin stylish~

GuEsS wHaT?

Chandler is playing on the GOLF TEAM now at Chaminade! Done with basketball and on with the next sport! He cracks me up! tThis guy can do anything! It doesnt surprise me at all that the head A.D. of Chaminade has invited him to play with the Golf team. Chandler's basketball coaches gave him the OK to play!

He will start practice with the team this Monday. So he will have Bball at 8am and Golf practice at 3pm. He is going Golfing tomorrow with a friend that lives here on the island. He is trying to get all the golf in that he can before the matches start! We went to Sports Authority yesterday and he hit some balls in the simulater and then practiced some putting!

And I'm just critiquing him on his putts ;) and talking on the phone to my dad!
Im happy for him that he can play anything and everything he wants and have fun with it while we are out here! Im so excited to be able to spectate him now on the course as well!

Bored..at din din

So I guess this is what we do sense we don't have children to photograph! Chandler and I went out to dinner to Outback Steakhouse and we were playin with the camera and our cell camera's!
Got to do something funny to occupy each other when we are hungry and waiting for our food!!!

Can I just say though-
My husband is so DANG haNDsOMe! He is just so stinkin Cute and the biggest SWEETHEART!
We had a fun date night!

ZoooOOooo!

I had a problem uploading on this post

Last week Chandler and I went to the Honolulu zoo! We had been wanting to go for a while now. It was a fun lil day date for a couple bucks!

Here I am with the HUGE tortoises'
I havent ever seen them this big before- poor things

And Chandler with them!

Now these were my favorite! I could watch them all day long. I was just fascinated...
Honolulu Zoo is in the middle of building a really big new play pin for them to roam in with pools and acres of lush sand and grass!

We thought these trees were so cool looking. They were full of color it looked like a water color painting tree! (yes they were at the zoo ;))

Hot pink/orange flamingos everywhere!

And the Giraffe's were my 2nd fav! They were so beautiful- and fun to watch walk around.



Ewww! These gave me the creepers but they were cool to get close too! They were laying normal...then this one just opens his mouth and didn't move from that position after that! Yuck!
