Hawaii and San Fran

I oust realized I never posted about our Hawaii trip.  Maybe because we were home for a week and then all the fam came up for Christmas and then it was new years, newly prego, and regular life happenings.  So, back in December we went to see our Hawaii ohana for a week.  We got to celebrate cousin Kristen's 50th birthday.  It was lovely getting to spend time with our family.  I feel like this time we had more time with them rather than back in 2011.  We are dinner with the family almost every night, swam with Haunauma Bay, hiked kulio'o ridge, sun bathed, are at Kono Brewery, partied with family, watched Kaena perform i n the nutcracker, got sun burned at Sandy beach, ate too much, and played games with family.  All in all it was incredible!

Last week Amy, Bri and I traveled around southern California celebrating Briana's sweet 16.  We started our adventure in San Francisco.  We stayed in a cute little hotel right in the heart of downtown San Fran called the Mosser.  We went to the warf, did some sight seeing of the bay by boat, ate at Boudin's and finished our afternoon with overran from Ghiradelli.  Yum!  After San Fran we went in to Pismo beach where we met up with Josh, Linzy and Ty for dinner.  It was so great that they were able to make it over on such short notice.  They were troopers.  Next we went on to Ventura where we got pedicures and swam in their beautiful pool.  It was a little chilli out on their patio but worth the beautiful sunset.  We looked at some homes that were $3.8mill!  Crazy!  Our last leg of our trip was Venice beach Los Angeles.  This place was crazy!  I had a blast on this trip and got to experience a whole new California.  Since it was April everything was so green and the weather was perfect.

20th Anniversary

Crazy to think it's been 20 years since we said our vows on that stormy rainy day in March.  This year we had plans to get a hotel in Lynnwood and galavant around Seattle for a few days. We ended up going to Herb Niemans on our anniversary, then to Boundary Bay for lunch the next day and we finished our anniversary weekend kidless in lynden. Amy & Bri ended up coming up and spending two days with mom. Saturday we left for the dahlia tuber sale then to El Suentio Brewery for lunch, a brisk walk in the cold wind out at birch bay and then a drink @ The Mill and dinner at Nami sushi. Our anniversary was filled with love and togetherness. We are so spoiled.

Gestational diabetes

Two weeks ago I took the one hour glucose test and failed it so I had to go due the dreaded 3 hour fasting glucose test.  It's horribly awful. You drink 100 milligrams of sugar on a fasting stomach and then get poked times to test you blood glucose levels.  Since I was positive for GD with Gwyn I went straight to the 3 hour test with Gabby and passed!  I was feeling pretty confident that I'd pass this time and I DID hallelujah!  All my numbers came back within range. I'm still keeping a close eye on my carb/sugar intake as I know how that can pack on the pounds for both baby and me.  So far I'm up 8 pounds. I was hoping to only gain ten thus whole pregnancy and that's still my goal.  I was 10 lbs heavier than I was when I got pregnant with Gabby and I gained 20 lbs with her so I figure that it's only appropriate that I keep my total gain to ten.  MUST KEEP COUNTING CALORIES. Ugh.  I don't find it easy like other women to loose wait after baby. If ...

Down time

All my life I've kept busy. I'm a busy person. I feel more at peace when I'm busy. The one downside to the consitency that is busyness is that often random thoughts will enter my mind about projects, bills, fundraisers, events, aka..other things I could be doing with my time. As quickly as I think of the ideas its on it's way to lala land....I started keeping a journal when I was in college so that whenever one of those ideas would enter my mind I could capture it. My "to do" journal is full of these fun ideas. Right now in my life I have a whole lot of free time that I don't know what to do with and where or where could my journal be...??? I can't find it. I feel lost without it. I have all this time now and I don't know what to do with myself. Before I know it I will be so busy with the agency I wont even have time to write. So I sit here (keeping myself busy) hoping that some of those glorious thoughts will enter my mind. Once I re...
