I'm back from Hawai'i , part fun and part sadness, as we left our youngest over there to attend the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Go Warriors!! Part of me is still on Hawai'i time and part of me is focused on a wedding this weekend; Kenton's Fellowship Camp next weekend and a trip to England at the end of the month for the same wedding celebration.
