Hawaii

So we've been back from Hawaii for quite awhile but life has been busy. Derek is back in school and working at Master Auto Parts and as a math tutor at COC. I am working at American Eagle still, unfortunately, but on Wednesday I'll have my second round of interviews to be a personal banker at Wells Fargo. Anyways enough about that...Hawaii was amazing. It was my first time and I just loved it. We did so many fun things: Volcano Park, The Highest Point in Hawaii with the NASA Telescopes, Scuba Diving, Hapuna Beach, Luau, Kayaking, lots of games, sun, and fun. Here are a few of my favorite pictures. I wish i could share them all with you.

At the village by the Tutu's House. The last fishing village
Our Kayaking adventure that ended with me getting beat up by the lava rocks. My knee was bleeding so badly and my legs were all scraped up. I was seriously scared that the sharks were going to smell my blood.
I'm obsessed with snow cones and Hawaiian Shaved Ice is to die for.
The Kona Temple. It was so beautiful.
On the black sand beach. The water was so warm.
At the Waipio Overlook.
Everyone at the luau. That was so fun.
At the Volcano Park
In the Lava Tubes
City of Refuge.
Derek's Grandparents backyard. It was awesome

Wise Men Still Seek Him Free Printable

UPDATE:  Hello Everyone! I have noticed that this post has been receiving a lot of traffic via pinterest and The Dating Divas Website. I wanted to welcome you all.

I also post all of my free printables here . Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your holiday season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So the past couple of days I have really been thinking about how I can reflect the true meaning of Christmas in my home. We live in a small two bedroom apartment and there isn't much room to decorate. This morning I was watching the video Wise Men Still Seek Him   and felt inspired to create a printable for my home. It's a good reminder to not only seek Him this time of year but thr...

Big News!

So this is big news for the Power family. I know many of you know a million other people who are currently pregnant but before you roll your eyes and skip over this post completely (ha), read on and hear a little bit about our story. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. We just found out yesterday that we are expecting a baby girl. She is due to enter this world on January 3, 2012. So far she is healthy and growing strong. She is growing about a week ahead of schedule. Maybe she'll come early...like before the end of the year. Derek and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the 16th of January...so not too long after our sweet girl is born. A little about us: Derek: One of the things I love most about Derek is how patiently he accepts trials in his life. He always has such a good atitude about what life has handed him. When he was 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Then at age 19 he was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer.  He has now been in remission for 5 ...

32 Weeks

32 weeks, 2 days here How Far Along: 32 weeks, 4 days Size of the Baby:  Almost 4 pounds and about 17 inches long Weight gain/loss: 3.6 pounds in the last month bringing me to 12.6 pounds total Sleep:  It's gotten worse. Oh well. At least the trains are the least of my worries now. Any sleep advice for the 3rd trimester? I'll take any I can get. I wake up with the worst back and abdomen pain and I have to rotate multiple times throughout the night since my hips, legs, arms, and hands all start going numb. ha I am ready to buy a recliner and sleep sitting up. It might work out better. Best Moment of the Week: My birthday and my baby shower. (More to come on these later) How could you not have an awesome week with those two things in the mix? Movement: Lots of rolling and jabbing. I feel like the past couple days she has been moving more constantly. I am loving it. Only two other people have felt her move besides her parents - Samantha and Jami...
