First Post Ever!

So this is the very first post on my new blog.....how exciting! Ok, maybe for just me. I'm hoping that by starting this blog I will have a little more time for myself and and will hopefully help me keep family and friends a little more up to date with what's going on with life.
Mitch and I just got back from from a week long vacation in Oahu and had the most fabulous time. The weather was a warm 85 degrees and seeing how it was freezing cold at home it could have been 70 degrees and we would not have cared. Our hotel was great and had a very cool bar that we frequently visited, and was just a crosswalk away from Waikiki Beach. We did all the tourist'y things that we tourist do and a little more. I actually got Mitch to kayak AND go on a hike... both of which he loved. He wasn't into the snorkeling (something about breathing underwater was just not right) but I loved it. For being our first real vacation together in over 7 years I think it was very successful and can't wait to go back, which won't be long as I'll be in Maui in April compliments of my bosses.
So now we are in race car mode, or at least Mitch is. He has both cars and is ready to put them together and we'll be heading to Chico, Ca in less than a month. It's a little scary knowing that we are less than a month away from our crazy/busy/no time for nothing else lives.
As for me I am trying to get the last of my winter projects done and then it is race mode for me as well!
