As they say in Hawaii, "Mele Kalikimaka!"

I was given a most amazing, fabulous, over the top Christmas present this year from the best fella on Earth... In May, the week after I graduate Tory and I are going to HAWAII for a week!! (pause for reaction).

AHHHHH!

I know it is so over the top and I know that I am beyond spoiled but I am sooo unbelievably excited about this trip. This will be our 2nd vacation just the two of us, the first was NYC in 2007, and I can't wait! We had so much fun trapsing around New York and being oh so touristy and I am looking forward to doing the same in Hawaii. Is it May yet?

Tory has always been a good, thoughtful gift-giver (I've been known to be a good hint-dropper as well hehe)... but the past few years have just been outrageous. It all started with that puppy he gave me 2 Christmas's ago and it seems like he tries to top himself ever year. I've told him that he doesn't have to try to top that gift or even match it because, in all fairness... how do you really top a living, breathing, adorable little creature like Lucille? But every year it seems like he tries and it always works out pretty well for me.

I just hope he knows that I don't always need fancy presents like puppies and exotic vacations. I am blessed to have a guy like him who knows me for all of my flaws and quirks and loves me because of them, not in spite of them. I am so fortunate to be loved by a man who deeply loves his family and would do anything for them (i admit- sometimes to my dismay!). He takes care of his mom and sisters and has a wonderful relationship with his father. He motivates me to work hard at everything and makes me want to be a better person. He puts up with a lot of my crap but is man enough to tell me when I am out of line and not let me get away with it. He's got his priorities in line and I've been proud to have him by my side these past 7 (almost!) years. Basically, I love him... I'm so blessed to have him and he means the world to me. I make sure to tell him that often but I hope he knows how true it is. He's fabulous.
