So...

...Mark & I are heading off for the weekend to Maui to spend some time together and just relax and act like tourists. :) It's been a while since we've been to the neighbor island (when it wasn't for work) and it'll be nice to see the sights and walk around Lahaina. :)

Tomorrow it will have been a month since we lost Sydney and on Sunday, Sydney would've turned 10 years old. :( In a way, we wanted to do something like this and get out of the house or we'd spend the entire weekend moping around, missing her. :(

In other sad news, my Mom called me yesterday to tell me that my uncle - who was suffering from the advanced stages of diabetes and kidney failure - passed away. With my intense work schedule next week, it doesn't look like Mark & I can fly out to the Big Island to attend his service, but if you could keep my aunt and my cousins in your thoughts, I'd really appreciate it.

On a completely different note, the CHESS concert (which was on Monday) went beautifully (from everything that I heard) Sheryl sent me the link to some wonderful photos from Broadway World - which I love!! :) My only comment is that I wished they had more on stage photos of Kevin (most of the on stage photos were of Ty Taylor - and where the HECK were the on stage photos of Susan Egan OR Thomas Ian Griffith?) :P

I'm off to get some rest... Our flight leaves at 8:00am tomorrow morning and I have the alarm set for 4:30am. Hope you all have a lovely weekend! Big HUGS to everyone!!

Thanks so much - it's been such a long, hard road taking care of Sydney (not that we would've changed anything...) but to take some time to just relax is also very nice.

Thanks for the good thoughts for my family!

I hope that you will have a wonderful weekend and that you will enjoy your time in Maui! And I'm sorry to hear about your uncle; of course, I'll keep your family in my thoughts.

Big hugs and much love to you, Sheri! :)

Thanks for your good thoughts for my family, Sabine. My uncle (who is my Mom's sister's husband) was actually ill for a really long time - their family has gone through a lot these past few years and I feel for them. :(

And Mark & I had a great time this weekend - thanks so much. We needed a weekend away where we could just relax a bit. :)

Big HUGS and much love to you!

Thanks so much, Laura - we had a very relaxing weekend. And after everything that has been going on, we really needed one.

Thank you so much for your prayers for my aunt and her family - that poor family has been through so much lately! :(

HUGS
