busy, busy!

wow! it's been a while since i've made a post. it's been busy and crazy lately; that's my only excuse.

kevin had a family emergency last month, so he's been back home since then, which means i was in seattle by myself for a few weeks. then my mom and aunty came to visit, so i was with them 24/7, showing them around and shopping, shopping, shopping. i decided to come back home with them so i could be with my family and kevin in hawaii.

i'm still here in hawaii and will be until the end of the month. then kevin and i will be heading back to seattle. so much travelling!

but i had a super good time with my mom and aunty jan. here are some pictures from their trip.

here's my mom (right) and my aunty jan (left) at our apartment.

the crabpot's alaskan seafeast. amazing.

so much fun and so tiring! can't wait for more family to visit.

happy birthday joanne!

i know the date says september 1, but i wrote this very late on august 31. and august 31 is my sister, joanne's, birthday! happy yakudoshi year, jo! thankfully her birthday party is going to be later in september, so i'll be able to make it back home.

this picture was taken in san francisco in 2007. it's an oldie, but it's one of my favorites.

and speaking of people back home, my mom and aunty arrive for a visit on thursday. so excited!
