ReplyDeleteKilie,
ReplyDeleteI know it is hard (we move away EVERY summer and now we are going to be gone for like 2 years for my husbands work) The first time we did I was so sad every day because I missed out families... But seriously now that I look back, I wouldn't trade those times for anything. It gave us a chance to grow together and become closer... There is something about not having family around that really helps a relationship... You only have eachother to go to. Now I look forward to going away.. I still miss our families, but I enjoy having him all to myself! :)
I love Hawaii, it is such an amazing place!
