stand in the rain...

Rain and snow in Colorado today. Enjoying my cute boots! :)

 


soemtimes we can relate, right?

She never slows down.
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down

[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down.

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

I love vacation, why do I have to work again?

Aloha - hello, good bye, and love!
Katrina and I have never really traveled together, so that was one of our goals before life continued to bring changes where it may not be as likely. So in honor/celebration of her Spring break and my 6 months at my job we jumped on a plane and went to the beach. We stayed with my uncle who lives a block and a half away from the beach! He was a great host! Everyday was an adventure and we covered most of the island, but of course would love to go back.

Here's a couple pictures from our trip:

I don't think I've ever ate a crab, but I'll hold one :)

My dear friend! Great traveling partner! isn't she cute!?

It really was paradise! We went to a luau one evening, great food, and so fun!

I could live on a ranch on an island :)

I love water - any really you should probably get in the water even if it's cold! This is secret falls.

Some of the red dirt!

Spouting Horn


If you ever go:
1. Take me with you.
2. Drink pina coladas from fresh coconuts.
3. Hike the Nepali coast (wear good shoes, and expect to get muddy)
4. Enjoy the sunrises/sunsets!
5. Do your BSF at Poahole beach - it's a great place to do BSF!
6. The Coffee plantation is worth the trip even if you don't drink coffee :)
7. Don't eat anywhere you could eat on the mainland (that's sort of my philosophy for travel anyway) Places we liked: Toi's Thai, Hanapepe Cafe, Smith's Luau, JoJo's shave ice
8. Get a lei (we never did, although we tried.) If you don't get leid, wear a flower in your hair daily :)
9. Talk to the locals (Katrina's really good at this!)
10. Enjoy every freckle you get from being kissed by the sun!

Safe to Land

I know I know this should be about hawaii. I'll get to the greatness of the island life! but for now:

Lyrics:
Getting tired from all this circling
Not much grace left on a broken wing
I feel the wind trying to push me down
It happens every time I get to town

I search for shelter near the mines we swept
I guess forgiveness hasn't happened yet
There are no words that I can say to you
To turn this careless sky from black to blue
So I'm asking you

Is it safe, is it safe to land?
'Cause I'm not going far on an empty heart
Is it safe, is it safe to land?
'Cause the long fall back to earth is the hardest part

I'm in no weather for apology
I need your runway lights to burn for me
And if you say that I can come around
I'll love you right, I won't let you down
I won't let you down
'Cause I'm coming home, if these wheels touch down

I'm coming home, I'm waking you up
In the middle of the night, I'm not giving up
I'm gonna stay, till we make it work
We're not going down even if it gets worse
We'll work it out, yeah, we'll work it out
I need your light, guide me in

Is it safe?



good question! i got sick on the bumpy landing today.. i thought/hoped sick plane days were over since i had been good for over 6 months of flying. not yet. have you heard the most dangerous part of the space shuttle's mission is the reentry into the earth atmosphere? what if the ship is already damaged? yikes!
