4 Year Anniversary Trip to Hawaii

Waikiki Beach, Diamondhead in background

Dave and I celebrated 4 years of marriage with a trip to Hawaii in April.  It was a great get-away to focus on each other. Plus, I enjoyed showing him special spots around the island and dear friends from when I lived there.

Homecoming 2012

I won the first kisss which meant Dave was the first off the plane. You can see him just below the far right American flag....jogging toward me!

Fun Times in Spain

Fun trip to Sevilla, Spain....a gift from God! Look for more pics in 2012 as we'll be together again! Military life is sure adventurous and full of changes.
