Snow in Maui

Well, this week was almost a full work week. The tax season will be in full swing next week, which I have mixed feelings about. on the one hand, it's nice to be making some decent money again. on the other, it's hard to give up my free time.

It's been uncommonly rainy and cold this past week. Tuesday morning I woke up to go paddling and saw the snow atop Haleakala. It was so funny to drive along the highway and see all the cars stopped on the shoulder and cameras hanging out the windows - it was big news for a day or two. In some ways it was a lot like the torrential rain we had not long ago. Everyone started conversations the same way for a couple of days - "Did you see the snow!?" In Makawao where I work it's pretty much been raining nonstop, so I guess if I gotta work it might as well rain. Next Wednesday I'll have off work (the last day off for a couple months), so the weather better clear up by then. I haven't been to the beach in forever.

So yeah, this post is to complain that it's raining and getting down to about 65 degrees at night. Don't you feel sorry for me?

Other than that there's not much news to report. No news is good news, right?

Jeff - Greg and I just got home this morning from Kauai. It was so beautiful, but quite rainy and windy. We did get a couple of sunny afternoons and we had time to scuba dive. I can definitely see why you're in love with with "the islands."

We so don't feel sorry for you. A foot and a half of snow last Sunday (in my own driveway), and waking up to snow this morning, have made me so itchy for icky winter to be over! And this weather makes us all long for Hawaii. *sigh*

Haha. Yeah, seriously... I don't remember the last time it snowed this much in Utah. It's snowed like every other day for 2-3 weeks, with a couple days of pretty heavy snow in there.

Mmm... Hawaii.

I'm holding up fine now. The sun finally came back a couple days ago, so I'm definately feeling happier now. yeah, I've heard Utah just has gotten hammered this winter - crazy. But Hawaii's always here. Waiting with her sunny weather to welcome you guys. (BTW, is that pic recent Mike? clean shaven now?)

Ehehe. Not so recent. Probably a few years old... I was looking for smiley pics. Cheesy, eh? Mmm... I could go for some cheese pizza right now.
