Ok so its like 214 in the morning and Ive just finished watching my recordings of the oscars. But I couldn't help jot down some ideas and shoot a few emails out to the family. While I was at it I fiddled with my icamera and notice how heavy I had gotten over the winter. Thank goodness for spring being around the corner cause this boy needs to slow down on the chin growth.
Love you all Oh so much and It was very good to have you all around for the funeral. It really is a blessing to get our family together. Im so glad that I am able to hop around and see you all.
Much love to everyone.

And so it starts..

I am at the airport awaiting the start of the travel home with grandma. I bought myself a lei to honor her memory as we make this trip home. Sorry I'm not pulling a better face in this picture it is just hard to really show any joy.
I was able to hit the beach with uncle matt once we got all the numbers squared away and the reservations settled.. It was two picture perfect days. We could bot have asked for better weather.
It feels good to be thinking of her while bringing her home..

Off to pick up Grandma..

So my flight couldn't be more picture perfect. Now when I say that I'm not sitting in first class enjoying a hearty meal. No it reminds me of the first trip that I took with Grandma to Hawaii. We had booked her in a first class seat and I just figured I would get to sit up there with her using my employee pass.. But no! She enjoyed the first class luxury and I was trapped in 'Roach' as we call it at work. So for me, yes it is picture perfect. I watched two movies both with a recurring theme of strong willed southern women, the first one I didn't recognize but the second was 'The Secret Life of Bees.' Like I said.. Picture perfect.

My BFF.. Miss Helen..

I love you grandma.. Thanks for the awesome memories.. You've given me plenty of good ones.. Ill keep this picture of our fun adventure for always.. What do you say you and I take one last flight together? Ill meet you in Hawaii and make sure you get home safe.

Beautiful sunshine

So today with the sun shining so beautifully I decided to get out and get things done.. I got my car lubed and then washed (thanks aunt pam for the car wash certificate) While waiting on the dudes at the bischoffs I was watching the tv, my fave channel the food network, and the barefoot contessa was prepping for a party with her gay florist buddies.. The sight of flowers and the sunshine got me in the spring mood and thus this beautiful bouquet for the mom.. Happy sushiney day to all..
