Kevin & Spring

Life is amazing!

This is how I feel after my recent crash down Makakilo Hill....I am so fortunate, life is really good!

This is my bike after the crash, totalled. I am so lucky!

Last Wed I was riding down Makakilo Hill headed to work and some lady pulled out in front of me, it happened so fast that all I could do was brace for impact and I hit the back of her truck and flipped and landed on my back. I think I closed my eyes because I just remember landing and looking at my legs, they hit the truck so hard I thought they were broken. I couldn't move them. I was so angry and scared, the lady stopped and I said how could you not see me, I had the brightest light. The ambulance came and scooped me up and when the doctor told me I got off good, only a fractured wrist, a few stiches and bruised swollen legs. I was so happy! Given another chance. This has been an eye opening experience....oh and I rode today. Almost back to 100%

15 Years Baby!

We did it! We made it to 15 years and to the tallest peak on Oahu. The four days Kevin was home was just way to fast and I am already looking forward to my trip back to Tucson in Dec.

We drove up Tantulus the next evening to see the city lights.

2 months 2 long

This was the turtle I chased 2 months ago when Kevin was here when we were all out at the sandbar. I can't believe how long it has been since I have seen him. I am so excited, one more midshift tonight and then I am off for a week and he comes in Monday. Even if it is only for four days we are celebrating our 15 year anniversary. I am so thankful to have him in my life and am looking forward to the next 90 years with him:)

Happy anniversary! I love you Kevy!!!!!

More food ideas

Red Dragon fruit

Pork, apple, and onions...throw into crock put and go. I got the recipe off Pioneer Women

I have been eating alot of avocados and salad from the garden.

Chicken fajitas

No-Potato salad. Use califlower in the place of potatoes, I threw cooked chicken and boiled eggs, pickle, onions, dill, a little mayo and mustard. Yum

Saturday ride, Triathlon, New Pali trail

I can't believe I live on an island 100 miles across and I find trails like this for the first time, with seeing only one other couple during a weekend. Primo...and the tri confirmed, I am back and ready to rage.

There were strawberry guava everywhere...I love this new trail.

Coco loved it also, she could swim in water almost the whole time.

Then we get out to this open field, where there is a fresh water resevoir, with fish. I couldn't believe it.

Pumpkin pecan pan cakes

I made these the same as the other almond flour pancakes, but just used 1/2 cup of pure pumpkin, some maple syrup instead of the honey and put 1 tsp of cloves, cinnamon in it, and 1/4 cup pecans. My new fav, I'm glad I am riding because I ate the whole stack.
