One more sleep till…

i can’t believe it’s nearly here. one more day. by this time tomorrow, we’re be on a plane. we’ll be flying away from the beautiful Hawaiian islands, we’ve come to know as home.

I’ve lived here for eleven years; Jake’s been here for six. While I’m excited for seeing everyone and snow, and everything, I’m also really sad to leave. This will be the first time I’ve ever been truly on my own. I mean, yeah, we’ve been married over a year, but we’ve always been within a hour and a half drive of my parents.

On the one hand I can’t imagine NOT living in Hawaii; on the other, I feel like I’m ready to move on. It’s time to say “Aloha Oe, Hawaii. Until we meet again.” I don’t feel like I’ll ever truly say goodbye. I know we’ll end up here again, but in order for us to grow, it’s time to fly the nest (literally). :)

Christmas was fun with my family. I guess all that’s left now is an Aloha Oe, a hug, and a kiss. :)

A very short list…

Vs.

Now I am in absolute LOVE with Practical Magic (the movie), so I decided to read the book [the book is always better than the movie, right?]

Unfortunately I’ll have to add Practical Magic onto my very short list of Movies that are better than the book. [the only other movie/book on this list is Angels & Demons by Dan Brown].

So for those of you who have never seen Practical Magic, it’s filled with magic, mystery, love, loss, and laughter. I have always had a deep love of witches and all things magical. The book is filled with sex, the F-bomb, and not much magic. While it was fun to get to know the characters more, i feel like i connect with them more in the movie.

At least I still have the movie :)
