Aloooha

I'm still wait to get the wedding pictures...So I thought I'd post the honeymoon pictures!

Let me tell you about our honeymoon. :)

I have a freakin' awesome, generous Aunt and Uncle, who as a wedding present sent me and Blake on our honeymoon! They let us stay at the resort that they are members of and they got us buddy passes. :)
She sent us to Ko Olina Hawaii! It was sooo beautiful! This picture is us our first day there. We stayed at the Ko Olina Marriot Beach Club Resort right on the beach!


The next day we went on a hike at the Diamond Head State Monument. It was, of course, beautiful!

















Blake is certified to go scuba diving, so of course he couldn't pass it up! Unfortunatly I'm not certified so I just snorkeled, but that was also way fun.
We saw seriously a group of 30-40 dolphins all swimming together! It was SO COOL! & we saw a baby and a mom humpback whale swimming together, Blake swam with a shark on his dive..and we saw other way cool things! It was amazing.

One of our nights we went to Roys for dinner..and it was soooo good! & They gave us free dessert because we told them we were on our Honeymoon! How cute is that?? & we of course couldn't help but take a picture! It's so weird, the food in Hawaii just tastes better than everywhere else. :)




So we're walking along the NORTH SHORE, checking out the huge waves, and admiring the scenary, when we almost walked right into a huge sea turtle! It was just basking in the sun. It was sooo cool! Then, if that wasn't shocking, and cool enough, we look about 3 feet past the turtle and see a big Monk Seal! The 2nd pic down there shows them, we didn't see them because they blended in with the rocks so well. They had a sign up saying not to touch the seal because they are close to extinction...It was so neat! (& Blake was really excited. Haha)



Our last day in Hawaii, we went to Pearl Harbor. It was really neat..and had almost a reverent feel about it.


After 5 days of Paradise, Aunt Mary Jane told us we would have a lay over in Cali, and she suggested we make it a trip (anyone who doesn't know, Blake's mission was in Riverside California) So we stayed there for 3 days and went to Disney land!

We had an awesome Honeymoon!
& we are so so grateful to Mary Jane and Scott for sending us to Paradise!

I'm so happy for you on your new role as a wife. It's a crazy ride the first year. I'm glad you had a great time on your honeymoon, that's where we went too! Only we didn't get stay anywhere as nice as the Marriott. (that's my favorite spot in all Hawaii)

Congrats!
