I can't believe Michael and I have been in Hawaii for almost eight months! I didn't fully appreciate how much this place has become home until I visited Oregon last week. I love going back to the place where I grew up, the place Michael and I fell in love, and the place where so many of my friends and family live. While I was there though I had time to think about my life now. How blessed I feel to have my little family together, living in this beautiful place!
