I spent May 4-13th away from my new cute husband (for reasons i myself can't always explain). I went to Maui as previously planned with Melmer(aka Melissa) from the 5-12th and the other days were travel days to and from Utah. I loved being able to see Bobbi and Vicki again (and Melmer..duh). The flight over to Maui was somewhat long (5.5 hrs) and yet not that bad..after being up since 3:30 am Utah time we arrived in Maui around noon, got the rental car, and once we had gotten some supplies headed to the resort. Along the drive it was pretty amazing to see the ocean from the car..and literally the beach is right off the road, as well as beautiful sugarcane fields and flowers of all kinds. We spent lots of time on the beach, as well as exploring the island of Maui (including two harrowing trips on the infamous Road to Hana..beautiful..but harrowing). Daily, I would be texting Rex from the moment I got up till the time he called me or went to bed at night, and sometimes (ok, alot of times) I would hang up the phone after saying goodnight and with tears in my eyes and think...why am I here again? I thought alot about those super strong women in my life that are seperated from their spouses for long periods of time, and I wonder how they make it through the bad days. Do not get me wrong, Hawaii was beautiful, amazing even and I am grateful that I was there and had the experience. I also am even more acutely aware of how much I need my husband, and based upon how much I missed him, I don't plan to be apart from him again any time soon. I tried to send pics to some of you along the way..but here are some more....

I can understand both worlds... being with and without your husband and I can say without a doubt I like it better with !! I know you enjoyed your trip and enjoy being home with your hubby even more...
happy back with hubby honey! But I'm so glad you squeezed in that island get away all the same....next time you'll just have to do it together :)
I was the same way when I went to hawaii for 9 days without Joshy! but The experience was still incredible. I'm starting to know what all the willden woman feel like having there hubbies gone. Josh has been gone almost every week for the past 2 months. blah, It's awful!
One never knows in November what will be happening in May. To never be apart means never knowing what it means to miss someone. Now you know.
On another note, I wish you'd stop neglecting me and then blaming me because you do. That cuts me to the quick. If you prick me, do I not bleed? Cheerio, darling.
