I'm back! :)

Aloha peeps!! I'm back from Maui! :) I didn't blog while I was gone b/c after Eric's house got broken into this summer, we were both a little paranoid about putting something on fbook, blogs, or anywhere not secured just to be on the safe side...(paranoid=us. Whatever)

Soooo... we landed this morning back in T town (and then I slept all day)....and tomorrow after work is a friend's rehearsal dinner. Then, Sat is the bridal luncheon, followed by the wedding. So yeah, gonna be tired and it'll be awhile before I bore you with photos from our vacay. :) 

In the meantime, this was the view from our hotel balcony at the fantastic Fairmont Kea Lani... *happy sigh* :) It makes me want to go back right this second... 

And I've seen some other people do similar things to what I'm about to list, so I'm just gonna admit I'm copying... ;) But, here's a fun overview....

10,000= feet from which we watched the sunset on top of the Haleakala crater. One of my fav experiences ever.

800= photos we took! (@least half were probably on the fabulous road to Hana) :)

25+ = times we were called newlyweds and/or I was called "Mrs. (Eric's last name here)." (comedy).

20= approximate letters every street, town, etc had in the name.

4= loaves of yummy local banana bread we consumed. (We ate it like a burrito, straight up bit into the loaf

3= cheeseburgers we ate for lunch @ the hotel beachside/poolside restaurant. fat.kids.on.vacation. (we had fish too....duh...but those burgers were so damn good)

2= people we ran into from Tulsa and ended up having a drink with :)

2= number of books I read (I'd saved the last two Dragon Tattoo books for this trip).

1= day it took us to figure out what mahalo means and use it appropriately

1= gift certificate purchased for dinner at our fav place (Nick's Fish Market to those of you who've been there!) as a wedding present to our friends honeymooning in Maui NEXT WEEK! (the wedding I mentioned taking place this weekend!)

Countless= times I thought "are we really here?!" and didn't feel like I deserved it. Fantastic vacation and some much needed time away.

Looking forward to catching up and seeing what you guys have been up to for the past week! Hope you've had a great one and are gearing up for a fabulous weekend! :)
