Laura's Visit
Since we last met we have had several visitors. Our first visitor was my wonderful friend Laura! She came and spent Thanksgiving with us. We had such an awesome time! It was a perfect combination of relaxation and activities! Of course there was tons of beach time and I'm pretty sure one day we laid out for roughly six hours. (Come and visit us and this could be you!) We also spent one day driving the Road to Hana and had several snorkeling adventures. We enjoyed a girl's night at a luau and watched a beautiful sunset on top of Haleakala. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was seeing whales for the first time. We went on a boating excursion and followed two whales all throughout the ocean. They are so beautiful and so massive! It was truly incredible! Of course when it came time to say good bye there was a large amount of tears! It is so hard to say good bye to such a sweet friend! But I know we will see each other soon!

About 10 days after Laura left our friends Ryan and Jen arrived. They were only here for 2 and half days but we had a great time. They were visiting her brother on Oahu and flew over to see us! We laughed so hard at Jeremy and Ryan the whole time they were together. We kept on saying they were on a man date! Literally they were inseparable. Snorkeling, throwing the football, watching the sunset, going on hikes. It was so awesome to see them both having such a great time together! Jen and I had a great visit too! We did tons of girl talking and enjoyed just chill'in on the beach! Vacationing with Ryan and Jen has become a bi-annual event so who knows where we will be vacationing again in a few years! We were so blessed by our time with them!
Christmas
And now that brings us to Christmas! It is so weird that it is Christmas and I am sitting here typing with my hair in a pony tail, and shorts and a tank top on! With that being said though it does feel like Christmas. We have a tree up and have several holiday things planned. Jeremy has the 23rd, 24th, and 25th off of work and that is just a HUGE praise! He has been working so much and for him to have those days off is a God thing. We are so grateful. We will be spending Christmas with great friends and will also have some time to ourselves. This will be our first Christmas as a married couple! Also, I am very excited because I will coming home for a visit Dec. 26th - Jan. 4th!
Merry Christmas
All in all things are going good. My emotions are starting to settle down quite a bit and we are getting more accustomed to Jeremy's work schedule. Time is just flying by! We celebrated 7 months together on Dec. 14th. 7 months!!! Where has time gone!? It feels like yesterday we were with you all at Harmony Chapel celebrating our wedding and now 7 months later we are in Maui! What a blessed and crazy life! We have found some much comfort in God's promises that our life is His and He is faithful where we are. Christ has truly been faithful to us here!
