10 Years, Two Kids and a Dog Later

Grand Hyatt Kauai

Tom and I recently had the opportunity to return to the place we spent our honeymoon - Hawaii.  I was in Maui for work (lucky me) so Tom tagged along and then we extended our trip to check out another island - Kauai.

It has been almost 10 years since we took our first trip to Hawaii and a lot has changed in our lives since. Here's the tally:

• 3 residences
• 2 condos bought
• 1 condo sold
• 1 piece of land bought for our future summer home
• 1 tear down property bought in suburbs for our soon to be new suburban home
• 1 dog
• 2 kids
• 3 cars sold
• 3 cars bought...

and thousands of good memories and special moments over the course of the last ten years.  Has it been easy? Yes.  Have the years gone by fast? Yes, the days and the years. Would I change anything about our lives together. Yes, maybe moving to the suburbs sooner but who knew the market was going to fall out when it did.  But we also wouldn't have met the incredible people we did if we hadn't stayed so it's a toss up, really.

Hard to believe these 10 years went by this quick. I'm scared the next 10 will go by even faster but I'm definitely excited to begin the next 10 years of our life together with our two kids and our dog.

Here are a few pictures of our second honeymoon.
