Accomplishing things! 🙌🏻

Since leaving my job and becoming self employed , I’ve been accomplishing some long overdue tasks. I’m starting to feel human again. ❤️

One of the first things I tackled was to go to an allergy specialist. I’m still trying to figure out what causes my dry eye issues and redness. After 200 sticks in my back, it’s been determined that I’m allergic to CAT HAIR (the cat sleeps in our bed)! As well as mold, dust mites, certain trees, pollen, and coconut. 

I found a new PCP for Phoebe that is in The Woodlands. She’s finally scheduled for a wellness exam since Dr. Penn retired. I’m also looking at replacing her specialists with the nearby TX Children’s location. It takes 1.5 hours to get to her specialists in Houston! 

I’ve completed some Cricut projects, without rushing. 🤗

I cleaned out and donated from several rooms in the house, and the garage. 

I’ve made so much progress with organizing! Some pics below. I’m still deciding on the labels. 

My work has started to pick up rather quickly, but I’m planning to control it so I can continue to spend time on the little things!

I was able to spend quality time with my family that was in town recently. And I get to take my mom to MDA next week with no deadline stress. ❤️🙌🏻 

Honeymoonin’ in Hawaii


Staying at The Grand Wailea resort in Maui through Saturday. Arrived Tuesday. 
On Wednesday we went parasailing. https://ufoparasail.net/
Then went zip lining. Mac & Loki were a great zip line crew. We were with a family of 6. They were fun with great personalities. Twin boys (Jack and Owen) and 2 teens, the mom and dad. 
On Thursday, we walked around the shops at the Grand Wailea then went to the strip mall next to the hotel. Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc… I didn’t dare go in those places though, lol. We had lunch at Pint and Cork which was delicious. After walking around for a while, we headed off on our next surprise adventure, which turned out to be a sunset dinner cruise. It was all so perfect! This man really gets me and puts so much thought into everything. ❤️

On Friday we drove the road to Hana. Stopped at Twin Falls to see the waterfalls. And we got some pineapple coconut ice cream (so yummy) and a pineapple smoothie. Went back to the hotel and hung out then had the concierge make us reservations at Maui Thai Bistro for dinner. And again, delicious! 

On Saturday we flew to The Big Island (Hawaii), after waiting in an insane security line! We arrived at the hotel and since it was the first hotel that we’ve seen offer room service since Covid started, we dined in. It was great. 

On Sunday we had breakfast at the hotel, in the Orchid Court. There was a short wait but the food was amazing. We headed to our next surprise adventure which turned out to be dinner and stargazing at the top of the volcano Mauna Kea. Man this guy gets me! I can’t say it enough!! ❤️🥰 They say we should expect to see 8-10 shooting stars per hour. It is the highest point above the Pacific Ocean at 13,840 ft. It rises more than 33,500 feet from base to peak. the top of the mountain and the ocean floor. 

On Monday we went on a helicopter tour of the island. Damian got me the seat next to the pilot. It was beyond amazing. I was speechless. The whole time I was thinking how much I love Damian, the thought that went into each experience is overwhelming. I am a lucky girl to have found this gem. I can only hope that I make him feel just as loved. 

After the helicopter ride, we headed back to the hotel to relax and get ready for our photo session and dinner. The photo session was fun and dinner at Browns Beach House was amazing. We sat outside with a view of the beach right after sunset. It did rain lightly on everyone a little but was still amazing. They surprised us with a dessert and wrote congratulations in chocolate on the dish. Super delicious! 

On Tuesday, he had scheduled massages for us in the morning. It was just what we needed before heading home. After the massages, we packed up and went to view our pictures from the session. We then checked out and headed to the airport. 

We returned home to be greeted by Tammy and Phoebe at the door. Phoebe put a lei around each of our necks and they had decorated the living room with Hawaiian decor as well as a pan of yummy brownies. 😁
