Things I am Totally Adoring
Okay, so I thought I would tell you some of the things I am super in to right now! I hope you will comment and tell me some of the things you like!!
1. Okay, so I went to this "purse party" last week and I fell in love with the product. Usually I am unsure of these parties and do not like to feel the pressure of buying, but in this case I had to contain myself. The company is Thirty-One, and it is based on scripture in the bible. When I heard that it was a Christian company, I was already sold, but then I saw the product. At first glance it looked a little "mom-ish" and i wasn't sure if it was for me. After hearing the product descriptions and seeing the catalog, I fell in love. It is a lot of "totes", and all kinds; totes for shopping, picnics, lunches, travel, etc. There is also a lot of organizing products. I wanted to get everything. The products are super cute with super cute designs and are completely geared for the woman on the go. They show ways to organize kid's things, the car, your office, closet, and for me, my classroom. Take a look! mythirtyone.com
2. Joyce Meyer. I have always liked Joyce, but lately I have become obsessed! I read her book 100 Ways to Simplify your Life. I highly recommend it. It is an easy read, each chapter is only a couple pages long and explains one of the 100 ways to simplify your life. She is so practical and right on...It totally changed the way I looked at things. I also started reading Living Beyond your Feelings, thank you Brittany for getting it for me, and it is awesome, especially because women have a tendency to live based on their feelings!!
3. My new paddle board! I finally got a paddle board! We have only been a few times, but it is so much fun! The funny thing about it is that I got it awhile ago. However, the guy talked me into getting the biggest one, because of my football playing seemingly enormous husband, and we wanted one we could share. So I got this huge thing that weighs 50 pounds spread out in 10'6". I cannot lift if above my head to get on top of the car. After being embarrassed by this in the parking lot, I was scarred. Now I will not go without Jordon, but luckily he has had some time to take me :)! hehe
4. The next thing I love is dark cchocolate covered Goji Berry Raspberry candies(they have acai berry and pomegranate, too). They are amazing and have a tiny health benefit too. They are made by brookside...you can get them at Costco :)!
5. The last thing I am obsessed with is these two guys....I just love them :)

Greetings from Kauai!
Good morning...Oh my goodness, it has been like...forever since I last blogged! I am sure you blogoids have totally written me off! But, fhew, I am back. The simple truth is that I do not have a lot to write about. So, instead of trying to think up these totally awesome blogs and then falling short each time, I thought I would tell you the boring stuff! So... I decided that since people are always asking me about what it's like in Kauai, I thought I would start there. Kauai has majors ups...and then lets not forget that with ups comes downs...way down. The first down starting with the idea that there is no Target! I have to have a a Target. And although Kauai has been my Target rehab and the withdrawals have ceased, I still dream of Target and could not imagine living for the rest of my life without one! Next...birds. Yes, like the movie. I recall a night where me and a few friends, who will remain nameless, watched the movie on the "big pillow" in the living room and screamed throughout the whole thing. We were 10. However, the past has come back to haunt me and I am reliving "The Birds". They are everywhere. Chickens, doves, roosters, ducks, mutant chickens with weird fur on their feet that live at the end of the road that freak me out, did I mention ducks, oh and lets not forget the bird-like mutant mosquitoes, in which I could do a entire book on the beasts, chicks, cardinals, hummingbirds(which I like), cranes....birds are everywhere and make every noise possible!!! I wake up to a foul party every morning! Unfortunately, my husband has trained our killer dog to be nice to the birds, so he welcomes them with open arms...I wish he would get them out of here!!! And last but not least for the "downs" of Kauai...the driving. Driving here is a nightmare. If you come to visit, do not go anywhere in a rush, because you will not make it. People here call it "staying on Hawaii time"....and that is how they drive. I think it originated a long time ago when people started driving here they went on drives to see all the beautiful views, so the fastest they went was like 20 MPH...and that was speeding. That stuck, and now, even in 50 MPH zones(the fastest speed limit on the whole island) you still have people going about 20 MPH. Add in the tourists who stop in the middle of the road to take pictures, and the construction that has been going on in the same zone since April 2009 and you are not getting anywhere-fast!!! Then again this relaxed "Hawaii time" is what brings me to my first "up". It is extremely relaxing here. A different pace of life. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is stressed, overworked, and tired. Come to Kauai for a few weeks and feel rejuvenated. Even after going to Honolulu, the difference is immeasurable. You step off the plane in Lihue(Kauai) and boom, life takes a halt. It simply slows down. There are not a lot of places to go, or things to do, so people are not rushing around like chickens with their heads cut off. Which leads to the next "up". The people are so incredibly nice here. They are always welcoming and will help anyone with anything at the drop of a hat. And while sometimes I get the "Haole" girl tourist stares and attitudes, it is not anything like Jordon said, hehe, who would say basically white girls are hated! He was just trying to freak me out.
