Honeymoon, Christmas Break and Cholos!

It's been over a month since I last posted.  Sorry, it's been a while.  I've been a little pre-occupied and I finally got back to Hawaii last week. 

James and I finally had the opportunity to go on a honeymoon to.....Cabo!  We're from a beautiful area (San Diego) and we live in an absolutely beautiful area (Hawaii), so most people would think we'd go somewhere else to honeymoon since we're surrounded by the beach all the time.  What can I say, we love the beach.  We stayed at the beautiful Sierna Del Mar.  I think it's the only resort where you can actually see the arches.  We were only about 3 miles away from downtown Cabo, so James and I ran there a couple of times.  Good way to get exercise since we're kind of crazy like that! :)

We spent Christmas break with family back in Los Angeles and San Diego and then James left to back for Hawaii on New Years Day.  I followed back a little later.

Most of the husbands in the bible study James and I are apart of are all gone to NTC (National Training Center) in Fort Irwin, CA.  They're training in preparation for deployment in April.  To be perfectly honest, I don't feel like I'm having a very hard time (yet, at least).  I think a big part of it is because I'm connected with a wonderful group of ladies.  Last night, we went to a restaurant up in Halewia (North Shore area) called Cholos.  I was actually very plesantly surprised by the food.  Granted, it wasn't like food you'd find in San Diego, but it was actually pretty decent.  The prices were a bit high, but everything in Hawaii is expensive!  I think I'll definitely have to take James when he comes back, and I'll gladly take family and friends when they come and visit. :)
