some highlights of the trip:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-the warren and annabelle's magic show in lahaina. it was so funny! they asked adam and i to help out the magician for the show and he ripped on adam the whole time. it was hilarious!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-snorkeling inches from a family of sea turtles, amazing! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-coconut flavored everything!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-fresh fish dinners, every night, it really tastes so much better when it's fresh</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-renting a scooter and riding all around the island checking out the sites</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-running on the beach</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anyone who knows me well knows that nothing brings me more happiness than spending time on the beach with people i love. my idea of heaven. the trip was so relaxing it was totally worth the 1000 work emails i came home to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
speaking of work, i got a new job that is so much better than the last one, thank goodness! i had neither the patience nor the lung capacity to teach p.e....i've worked there for awhile but of course haven't updated the blog :) it's a great running race company, check them out <a href="http://www.colormerad.com/">HERE</a></div>

<br />
first, i got a new job! i am the p.e. teacher at amelia earheart elemetary. so far it's been a little overwhelming and exhausting but i'm starting to get the hang of it. everyday i come home and tell adam the funny stories i have from the day. it brings me back to my elementary school days. i let them play with the parachute a lot cause that was always my favorite in school.<br />
<br />
adam is 2 weeks away from finishing his master's degree. yaaaaaaaayyyy! he's been such a hard worker throughout his mba program (he'll be graduating with honors just fyi). he could not be more excited to be finishing up although i'm a close second. no more homework=more time working on the house! :)<br />
<br />
last, we take off to california tomorrow! a break at the beach is just what the doctor ordered! adam and i are running a marathon in huntington beach this weekend (hopefully! i've come down with a nasty cold/flu and am doing everything in my power to get better before the race!) wish us luck!<br />
<br />
