It has rained every single day since my last post. Humidy levels are so high, in the 60's. It's miserable in the Phoenix metro area.

I think it rained every single night this last week, and once during the day. Most nights started with a dust storm. For two nights we had lightening that seems to be striking right over our house, as the thunder literally cracked over the house, making everything shake. It's nice, but it's also humid, which makes the days yucky. I don't even bother to do my hair, I just let it dry curly as there is no use in fighting it.
On a happier note (not that monsoons aren't happy), Jason comes home today after spending most of the week in Las Vegas visiting his mom and dad. Ya!

We got an awesome monsoon storm last night. Check out this video of the dust storm that blew through Phoenix.

What the heck is it? We've got gray clouds, loud noises, flashes of light, and stuff falling from the sky that is making everything wet! Anyone have an idea of what it may be?
LOL!

We've been back for over a week now, and I think we're finally back in to the swing of our pre-Hawaii life. LOL! Although I think I'm still suffering from jet lag. Jason and I both miss Hawaii; it was so beautiful there. It got pretty hot while we were gone, 117 on the Fourth of July. It is not fun to come home to that.
I emailed a lot of people about the Hawaii pictures, and posted a message on MySpace, but in case you missed it, you can view Emma's pictures here, Jason's pictures here, and the water picturs here. There are over 600 pictures, and we've been told that it can take about 45 minutes to view. I've posted a few of my favorites here.
Jason just had one of his reviews at work, and mine is next week. Mine is a yearly review, which is funny because I've only been at the ASU Foundation for 7-1/2 months. Hopefully it comes with a little pay increase. That's always nice. Jason was finally re-admitted to ASU and will begin taking art classes. Don't know if it will lead to another degree, but with the discount I get he figured he'd take some classes. I'm still waiting to hear back about my re-admission status. I'm going back to finish my degree, but I'm not sure how long it will take since I'm changing my major from Religious Studies to Photography. As always, check back often and we'll be sure to let you know what's going on with school.
Jason will be in Las Vegas next week visiting his mom and dad. Not to worry, as I'll be in Las Vegas next month on Mattie's Bachelorette Party weekend trip. Gotta go clean the house.

I have Pink Eye. I woke up this morning and my eyes were burning. My eyes were watering as I was getting ready for work. When I started driving to work, the sun was burning my eyes. Even with my sunglasses on, I couldn't keep my eyes open. Somehow, I made it to the urgent care, where I was diagnosed with Pink Eye. Getting back home was another challenge. By the time I got home my eyes hurt so bad that I lied down, closed them and fell asleep.
Once I woke up, I called my sister to ask her if she could drive me to the drug store to get my prescription. While she was here I gave her her Hawaii gifts. Now I have my antibotic eye drops, which I have to take for the next five days. I can't wear contacts for two weeks. Now the concern is how to live with Jason and not give him Pink Eye. Yikes!

We're back from Hawaii! We got in last night at midnight. We'll post pictures tonight so we can share with everyone.

Aloha! I am writing from the beautiful islands of Hawaii! Currently I am sitting in the home of my sister-in-law, which is located in Hawi Town in the North Kohala District. I can see the ocean from where I sit, although it's about a mile away. We have been having a wonderful time here. It's been really nice to visit with Karen and Jim and most of the family. We've also been able to do a little site seeing, such as visiting the USS Arizona in Honolulu, hiking down Pololu Valley, visiting an old fishing village, driving 3000 ft above sea level to Waimea (it's cold up there!) and swimming in the ocean. Today we went to an old lighthouse and checked out where the old sugar cane plantations used to be. I've taken A LOT of pictures and some videos, and will be sure to share with everyone when we are back in Phoenix.
