Crazy 24 hours

Bentleys gig last night at SLO Brew was marvelous!
He, and the gentlemen he played with did so well, as always.
Their passion for music is undeniable. On stage their energy oozes out of their smiles.
It is adorable. 
I will post a live recording of their set from last night very soon, after we edit.


Right after the show Bentley and I left for Castro Valley. 
-We arrived at 3 AM, 
-slept for 2.5 hours, 
-got a ride to BART and made our way to SFO by 7:45
-had an 8:55 flight to catch and ALOT of LONG lines to go through.
***Airport stress***

No big deal we made it with plenty of time to people watch. 


But when President Obama showed up just as our flight was about to ascend, ALL air ways were delayed for 40 minutes.
Seriously. 
One plane lands and all others have to stop everything for almost an hour. 


I was sleep deprived and cranky.... to say the least.
But none of that matters now because we are here on the beautiful island of oahu surrounded by friends and alluring foliage. The sun is endearing and the breeze plays with my curls. 
We are so blessed and so thankful. 


I hope you have a wonderful three day weekend. 
Take the time to turn off your brain and relax :) 
Its all a state of mind.
Its all relative.

Hawaii

So call us crazy but - 

we totally bought tickets to Hawaii last night for next month!!!!

One of Bentleys best friends is getting married in the Laie temple on the 21st :)

I absolutely LOVE celebrating LOVE, and will take any excuse to go to Hawaii. Plus we got married there, thats reason enough in itself to visit.... frequently right?! :P

We aren't living outside our means- or going irresponsibly overboard. The tickets were a screaming deal; practically begging us to buy them. Seriously this is the time of year to go to Hawaii! 
We are on a frugal newlywed budget, and keep to it very well. 

 BUT I did receive a very nice and unexpected reimbursement from Cuesta for OVERPAID tuition! Who does that? 

I won't blame it on the hair color that would be too easy and detrimental to all the beautiful and brainy blondes out there. 

After I updated my FAFSA to my now "married" status things changed in my favor with FAFSA
