Noah's Eventful Birthday

As if it isn't enough that my brother turned twenty-nine yesterday on June 25, there were a few other notable occurances that also took place yesterday.

Unfortunately the construction business as well as most other businesses will not recognize your birthday as a holiday be it paid or not, and in Noah's case it wasn't even recognized as a good enough reason to get off a bit early. Oh well, we enjoyed dinner and a relaxing, mellow evening together and it was very nice.

One thing that took place totally overshadowed the media coverage. And that was the passing of the self-proclaimed "king of pop", Michael Jackson. At age 50, it was echoed throughout the radio and television waves, as well as the facebook community and twitterers that he had some type of heart failure and was pronounced dead. While reflecting on his life, the many, many great tunes that he brought to life played on the radio, recalling what an amazing talent he was.

There were specifically two things too yesterday that were in the news that made the day especially peculiar, other than M.J's death. Both Farrah Fawcet and Ed McMahon. both shared this as their last day here on earth with Michael Jackson.

But, again, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! to Noah... thirty is just a short year away!! wow. that's pretty freaky! ...lol :)

2009 Kamehameha Day

A little over a week has past since Kamehameha day here in Hawaii nei. On June 11, the festivities took place for Kamehameha at Moku Ola, Coconut Island in Hilo complete with Hawaiian food, dance, music and games.

What made this day such a special one for me and my family was the special afternoon that we had. Me and Vynn were blessed to have Uncle Wede, Aunty Debi, and Julia come over and spend the afternoon with us. It was so nice to see Julia while she was visiting from Arizona. We were left with very warm memories of laughter and stories from the past. So much fun to gather with family, we can't do that enough!
