Time in Maui....

Trav and I had the opportunity to spend a week in Maui... it was great! Here are a few pics from our trip.

We found this on the ground and wondered what kind of nut tree this is, or if it is even a nut tree at all...


Our first real day in Maui we went to Costco to buy some food for the week... we went a little overboard with the drinks.

We took loads of pictures to try and get a good on of us in front of this awesome church... never quite got a good one. ;)



We decided to go up to the top of the mountain... this is a view from only a bit up the mountain. There were lots of switch backs. We both got sick (I was feeling pretty dizzy and weak)... I'm guessing it was from the crazy roads and the altitude changes.


This is me playing with the camera features... Trav was cleaning out his socks and shoes after we hiked through the brush for a time.



Lots of pretty views!

This looked like some very old graveyard from the movies.




A picture of my mosquito bites... I counted at least 64 on one leg and at least 37 on the other.











An attempt at using more camera functions... it's hard to get a panoramic view when the water changes.


Common phrase of the week: "It itches!!!!"

We LOVED the trees... they're amazing!

I'm getting married!?!?

So, I'm not sure that it has hit me completely yet, but I am getting married in 5 1/2 weeks... not that I'm counting. ;)

It's amazing how everything in my life works far from how I expect it to and yet it still works out... even better than I thought it might. Life isn't easy, in fact sometimes it is down right difficult. But, peace can be had throughout it all... which is something I've been learning a lot about over the past few years. Last weekend I was able to go through the temple. I LOVE the temple! I love my fiance! I am so grateful for the gospel and for the atonement of Jesus Christ! I love serving others! I love all the blessings I have had throughout my life! I am grateful for the people in my life that have helped me to become who I am today! I am VERY blessed!

Random pics to post...

So, I've been taking a few pictures here and there, but usually manage to forget my camera wherever I go. Just thought I'd post a few of the ones I've taken this year so far. Most of these are from Daniel's birthday, but some are from other occasions as well.
