2014

2014 was a busy year for us. We spent Christmas 2013 in a huge beach house in Pensacola. My parents couldn't come, my mom had just had surgery, but we had DH's parents, sister, aunt and cousins all there. I can't remember what we did for New Years, but I'm thinking we went to a friend's house.
My husband had training in another part of the state for January. Pensacola also got snow!
February brought the end of my job and got an offer on our house.
March was filled with visiting family in Oregon/Washington.
Then we moved to Hawaii! We found and adopted our dog Lexy and bought an island Jeep. We spent lots of time on hikes, drinking wine, soaking up the sun and meeting new friends. Hawaii had it's first hurricane make landfall in about 20 years...there were a total of 3 that threatened the islands this summer, and at one point we even had 2 at once! Fortunately our part of the island did not have anything worse than a heavy rain...not even the heaviest rain we've had here.
June and July hubby was gone and I went to Maui and continued to meet friends.
October we went to the Big Island where we went to Volcanoes National Park and Mauna Kea. We also hosted Halloween Dinner outside under the carport complete with 'spooky' spaghetti and carved pineapple.
November my Sister-in-law came to visit and the In-laws came for Thanksgiving.
December hubby is gone again and my Mom is coming out for Christmas.

I had so many great experiences in 2014 and cannot wait to see what is in store for 2015!
