A Lovely Weekend!

This Easter weekend was wonderful in so many ways!  I was able to relax, reflect and enjoy friends and family.  I spent a lot of time thinking about Good Friday and the significance of Christ's death and resurrection.  All sin has a price, and I am so thankful that my debt has been paid!!

To kick things off, Two of my wonderful co-workers, Sabine and Laura, threw me a shower after work on Thursday that took me totally by surprise!  All the ladies showed up and showered me with laughter, gifts, advice and a very generous card filled with cash from my colleagues.  I was so humbled and overwhelmed by their generosity.  It will be sad not working next year, but I look forward to this new chapter as well!  Here are a few awesome shots, thanks to Aiddy!

All the ladies... love them!

Zoolander... haha.

All smiles.

Aiddy found the cutest little slippers...

awkward shot ;)

Adorable.

From Brandi and Mila, so cute!

Easter Lilies from Wendy.

Friday was spent cleaning and organizing all the things Lily has received so far!  She is so spoiled already!  Last weekend was the shower in Nanakuli that Robbie threw for us.  Pics for that one to come later...  I went to Ross and found some curtains I think I like--they're deep teal like the ocean.  I still need to hang things on the walls and buy a dresser to store her adorable clothes, but at least I got things sorted.

Saturday morning, Kim, Brooke, and Esther took me out for a day of pampering!  They treated me to a Paraffin wax treatment and hot stone pedicure and then to a lovely lunch at the 'Ama'Ama Cafe at Disney's Aulani Resort.  Lily and I were truly spoiled.  It was nice catching up with them and spending some girl time!

We all chose very "springy" colors :)

Fun times :)

Lunch with the ladies.  Lily, your aunties can't wait to meet you!

After lunch, Mike and I proceeded to celebrate by spending the night at the Marriott's Beach Club in Ko Olina and taking full advantage of the Resort!  It was our "Baby Moon".  Some people have heard of it, others haven't, but it was basically our last night out together before Lily arrives.  It was wonderful.  Mike's dad hooked us up with an employee discount since he works for Marriott on the mainland.  We had a great time.  Pools, Jacuzzis, dinner at Longboards, chocolate souffle at Roy's, and a comfy A/C hotel room overlooking the marina.  Talk about spoiled.  The great part about it was that we only live like 10 minutes away!  Mike parked at my school and rode my bike in so we didn't even have to pay the $35 parking fee, haha.

Dinner at Sunset :)

To end our fun-filled weekend, we headed down to Makaha for Easter Dinner with the Garrett Family.  I made my first batch of homemade strawberry ice cream, the kids went on an egg hunt, and everyone ate too much food.  Overall, it was a wonderful weekend with my husband.  We are so very blessed to live in such a beautiful place with such amazing people...  Aloha.
