Reynolds Ohana: Our excitingly boring life!

It's been a while since I updated.

Does anyone read this anyway? Oh well... I thoroughly enjoy reminiscing on my excitingly boring life anyway!

Living in Hawaii is great. And dreadful. It's a definite love/hate relationship. It's just not something you can understand until you've actually lived here...

Mike and I did some quick math today and figured out that it takes us longer to drive the 8 miles to and from work than it would someone driving northbound from Salt Lake City to Ogden during rush hour (that's 22 miles..)

Many hours a day I am stuck in traffic, cursing 'this rock'

BUT everyday is an adventure, because I am with my best friend! Even though there's some hard stuff and unique challenges we face, I have never been happier. And I'm thankful for smokin' hot man who never ceases to make me laugh!

Here are a few little adventures as of late...

For our 8 month anniversary, we went to Jose's Mexican Restaurant. This is the only Mexican restaurant I have even seen on the island. It wasn't Utah mexican, but it was still SO DELICIOUS. Oh my goodness it's been a long while since we've gotten our fix of tasty Mexican.

As you can see, Mike was... excited

Okay, let's be honest, I was too.

AND Mike surprised me with a set of knives for our kitchen.. and they are freakin SWEET. I have been complaining because we only have these crappy knives and it takes me FOREVER to chop food with. NOT ANYMORE! I love that Mike pays attention to what I whine about and makes it better. :)

Since I had a brand new set of knives, I found a sweet stuffed green pepper recipe and got cookin! It was pretty tasty if I do say so myself...

I do love cooking! One of my favorite things.

Oh, and a sad note of the week... my friend Kali is moving back to the mainland.. I will miss her! She was my visiting teacher and introduced me to MENCHIES (aka the best frozen yogurt place EVER)
