hale koa - part 1

Well my mom said that when you turn 30 you get to extend your birthday celebrations for a few days. And when you turn 40 you get to extend the celebrating for a whole week...a great idea by the way. So I took my mothers advice and my friend Malia and I, who are exactly 1 day apart, thought it would be great to keep celebrating a few days after our birthdays. Our plans were to have a night away to lounge around at the pool, go out to dinner, watch a movie, paint our toe nails and sleep in the next morning. Our husbands were a little confused at why they weren't invited...but our kids needed someone to look after them. :o) So they were great in watching the kids so we could have a much needed 22 hours (we weren't counting or anything) away to feel rejuvenated.


We got to the hotel in style in a gray Ford truck. I realized later how I should have been the one climbing into the truck to get the suitcase since Malia is the one that is newly pregnant. I think we were just too giddy about getting to the hotel that we even forgot where we parked the next day. Yes it looks like we were staying for a week instead of almost a day...but a girl needs so many things when we're away from home.

We then went out to eat and had a great dinner and great conversation with no interruptions. We even had time to do our hair and put on a little make-up.

I told Malia that my birthdays just won't be as exciting once they move next year (we had a surprise slumber party last year with the ladies in our church). So maybe we'll just have to keep up the tradition and meet up in the middle somewhere.
