Aloha
I have to say this is the most relaxing trip I have EVER been on! We sleep in, get up with no plans for our day then drive and find things to do along the way. We woke up today with a storm out side. I mean raining buckets!! By noon the sun peaked out so we make our way to the Waimea botanical garden and walked to a nice waterfall were you could go swimming. Very nice walk with lots of birds. We also went to a flea market and of course the beach were the waves were so big I watched B and Jenn get pummeled by them. They gave me a good laugh.

Chasing Sunshine
We leave for Hawaii soon!! My bags are pretty much packed because I CANT WAIT. We are going back to Oahu were we got married just one and a half years ago. Time is flying and our life is pretty much where we pictured it. (minus the millions in our bank account! ha) We first went to Oahu in October 2009 to do some wedding planning and back again November 2010 for the ceremony. We played tourist both time's so this time I am soooo looking forward to spending days on the beach, riding bikes on the North Shore, having shave ice and watching the sunset with my very best friends. My friend Jenn (Maid of Honor) is joining us and has been on a very tight diet/exercise plan since February and has lost 20lbs so far!!! I am sooo proud of her! Jenn, I love you! Life is precious and I choose to treat it that way...
Now lets go swimming!!

A New Chapter
Everyday you have the same routine. Your life is what you know and we tend to find a place that is comfortable. Human nature is usually opposed to change leading even the happiest person to a negative place of comfort. The comfort that is known, safe but most of all easy.
I am excited to share with you I will be starting a new job May 1st. After being in the Dental field for over four years it is time for me to move on. I loved working as a dental assistant and was comfortable there. Key word Comfortable. This is not a bad thing but sometime we get too comfortable we tend to miss out on the things that God brings our way that is more healthy and beneficial to who you are. So after a nice relaxing vacation in Hawaii I will return home to work at a brand new veterinary clinic. I am looking forward to the change and the new atmosphere but most of all the new patients.... ANIMALS!!! Oh and I still get to wear scrubs! Perfect!!!

Mind, Body, Soul
Life is so fast, to busy and way to precious to be living it like its a marathon all day, everyday. I often don't relies how tired I am and how I have a plate full of things to do that often half of them are tea-dies but I allow myself to stress over it. I love this time of year, the flowers growing, birds arriving, temperatures warming and daylight staying around longer. This is so inspirational for me when life becomes alive. I want to be more present with myself and healthy, more optimistic and loving. Just like any job in life we have to work at something if we want to get it moving in any direction whether its completion or evolving.
One of my classes I attended in Phoenix was titled "Life in Balance" by Dr. LowDog. This women is amazing in who she is. She is so smart, beautiful and present with everyone. During the presentation she gave tons of website for healthy choice foods and knowledge. Not your "eat less of this more of that" websites but the sites that tell you what fruits and vegetables to by organic because of the higher risk of pesticides. You can keep updated on that site Here. When she got to explaining stress she mentioned it shuts down your organs. Your stomach stops digesting all the way to reproductive organs not working. This explains why many women (including myself) have a hard time having a healthy pregnancy or a pregnancy at all. Half way through she went over the importance in daily multivitamins and flax-seed for men. You see tons of multivitamins out there but I am not sure which one is better for me. Is the name brand vitamin better? What about vitamins at Wal-mart or Target? I have heard some vitamins don't even dissolve all the way so they are useless. After the class Lisa and I went up and asked Dr. LowDog what her input is on brands or if she even had a recommendation. She responded with "The higher amount you pay for your vitamins the more likely they wont dissolve, sad but true (pills)." The test she gave us for the multivitamin was to put it in a cup of water and if it doesn't dissolve in 30min its no good. Sure enough within 10min my multivitamin started to dissolve and in 30min it was dissolved at the bottom of my cup. That made me happy.
Did you know there is temperatures for oil not to exceed? Its true, you should never have oils hot enough for them to be causing black smoke. They become toxic after a set temperature. I wish I lived in a place that had classes like this. The health of the body is amazing and scary at the same time.
One more interesting tidbit, check out F.LUX this is a software you can download for free that makes the color of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day. It makes your computer screen look like the room you're in, all the time. When the sun sets, it makes your computer look like your indoor lights. In the morning, it makes things look like sunlight again. This is to help with sleep and body balance. Now all that's missing is a nice massage to go with this message.

Birthday Dog!
This spoiled, loved to much, pup is 7 today! (49 dog years) I found her on puppyfind.com and have been in love ever since. She came from Oklahoma in July 2005 and has no idea what a "real" dog life is like. Here is Miss Zoe over the past few years.

Fight for Hunger
On my last day at the convention center there was a food drive for Fight for Hunger. All of these displays are made out of canned food. Here is how Arizona does their food drives!
