My Annual obsession

There is that saying that "time makes the heart grow fonder..." well in the case of pomegranites only coming in season every year around October to December for too brief of a time, my love for pomegranites has turned to more of an obsession! I am holding myslef back from two a day. This is a fact that Doug is just loving - due to extremely low cost of this wonderful fruit (yeah right). Doug is starting to take inventory of how many pomegranites I am eating and trying to teach me to conserve instead of indulge my craving...classic doug. Lucky for him he knows it only lasts for a few months. mmmm Think I'll have one right now!! Good thing costco sells them in bulk!

Finally!

I know an update is long overdue...I am just really bad at all of this blogging stuff. But here is a brief overview of what we have been up to since we have been back to Hawaii. Doug has been busy with soccer and school and is currently getting a black belt certification through six sigma - a business managing thing- at nights for two weeks. Candice, my sister-in-law, is out here this semester which makes Hawaii a lot more fun for me, because we have just been hanging out at the beach and catching up on gossip girls online...since we don't have the CW out here. Doug and I just got back from a long trip in Bay Area, Doug because he was on his mainland soccer trip, and me to support Doug and to see my cute little new nephew, Baby Owen Wayne Kaenel (1 month) for the first time! I love him so much already and miss him everyday I am out here! Well before I go on and on about how amazing my nephew is, because trust me I will...I'll introduce the pictures. Coming up you will see: many of pictures of baby Owen from my trip, Doug making friends wherever he goes (a stray dog at the beach), Goalie-in-action, My Birthday Dinner at Turtle Bay, me and Candice after losing a battle with the ocean - it was a good fight though, and Dinner with Doug's parents and Hannah after a game against San Francisco Academy of Art. It was such a fun trip and so good to see everyone. Doug's parents are such saints to make Sunday dinner for the whole soccer team, year after year! I don't know how they do it, but it was delicious, and everyone enjoyed themselves. And seeing how it is Doug's last year, hopefully it is their last year as well!
