I have read many blogs in the last few days trying to figure out how to incorporate some ideas to my own. I really want to update some of the exciting, and maybe some not-so-exciting, things that happened last year in my blog... while they are some what still fresh in my mind. I will start with the beginning of year in 2007. More post will soon come relating to my "recap of 2007".
So, with that said...the first thing I can remember in 2007 was our Hawaii trip. Dave and I had a dream to some day go to Hawaii together. We had that blessed opportunity last March and we had a ball! We went to Maui and stayed in Wailea Beach. We went with another friend couple, Tiffany and Zeke Guzman. Once we booked the tickets I started the count down. I knew it was going to be like paradise. The second we stepped off the airplane it was great, a bit humid but WOW! I couldn't believe it, I was in Hawaii!!! Thinking about it now makes me want to get up off my chair and scream from excitement. We were there for 8 days filled with lots of fun things to do. My most memorable times were: Our first walk on the beach, early morning walks, snorkeling on Molokini, swimming with five sea turtles, laying out on the beach, watching Dave body surf... so funny..., the constant on the look out for whales to breech, sitting on the hotel lounge chairs over looking the ocean, great sea food and kayaking on the ocean. One thing that still takes us back to our Hawaii experience is the ever so delicious Lava Flows, included in our hotel stay were two drinks a day, we had these Lava Flows every day. Its a piña colada drink with strawberry puree on the bottom making it look like the lava is actually flowing. They are soooo good! Oh my goodness!!! It really was paradise! There are so many more things that were so fun to do. I am sure that we will return some day. We had a great great time.
The kids stayed home with the best babysitter in the world, Abuela Mercedes. They missed mom and dad but were very well taken care of by Abuela. They were excited to see us come home again and also see all the fun things we did. After this amazing week in Hawaii we only had one not so fun news. We had been expecting our third baby and the day we got home we found out I had lost the baby. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to endure. We were so excited to have another baby. I thought perhaps something might be wrong but I pushed it away really hoping not to have to go through yet another miscarriage. It was extremely sad times but the bond Dave and I had formed in Hawaii helped us get over it. To top it off Maria had a baby the after I miscarried. It was a bitter sweet time for me. I am grateful that my Father in Heaven blessed Marcos and Maria with Preston and even though I didn't get my little angel sent to me at that time... As you know now, I am expecting our a baby girl in May of 2008!!!
I hope you enjoy the slide show of our fun Hawaii Trip!

I love Hawaii! I went twice growing up and have great memories there. I am glad you guys had the opportunity to go as a couple. I hope Joel and I have that to soon. I can relate about miscarraiges (I just spelled that wrong)it is not fun no matter how far a long you are. I am so happy you are having another girl!
Fun, I wish I could go again. Maybe we should plan a trip with all the leaders. Ha Ha! The video was great and looks like some fun memories to keep. I love your blog and will add you to my list so I can check it often.
I think about Hawaii all the time. It was such a fun trip. Although, now that I think about it, I wish I had felt a little better. I am sorry that I missed the kayak trip on the ocean. Thanks for not putting any ugle pictures of me in the slide show. What a relief!!
