…2 days until Anu’s Bach party, 6 days until the end of the regular school year, 7 days until my Moms 50th birthday in Oahu, 15 days until my Uncle Rays Maui wedding, 30 days until my 30th birthday, 50 days until Anu & Joe’s wedding, 55 days until Colt’s 30th birthday, 81 days until Lika’s wedding, 94 days until our 2 year wedding anniversary and 113 days until Kevin and Kristen’s wedding in Florida! (whew, are you exhausted yet?!?)

To say I’ve been busy would be a total understatement but not the kind of busy that you hate and all you want to do is pull your hair out, but more of the kind of busy that your non-stop living your life and wishing that there were just a few more hours in everyday. With that being said you can only imagine my surprise when I jumped on my blog to renew my yearly dues and I realized I haven’t posted since December (shame, shame) so here it goes!

This school year of coaching has been nothing short of amazing! I’ve learned so much and grown not only as a person but also as a coach. I’ve established an irreplaceable relationship with my students and I couldn’t feel more blessed to wake up everyday and go to a job that I truly love! It’s been such a positive and enlightening change in my life and I often wonder how I EVER (ever) did anything else!

On top of coaching full time and Lightning Electric part time I’ve also recently started a new adventure with a long time friend and his production company. The role is still evolving but I’m excited to be apart of yet another successful small business on Maui that I believe in. It’s such a big (and rewarding) change after working for corporate all those years!

Aside from my professional life my personal life has also been delightfully busy and filled with all of the things that I love which include but aren’t limited to being a wife to Colt, being a maid of honor to my best friend Kristen and Anu, spending time with family & friends, running, beaching, exploring and traveling!

The Warrior Dash in Oahu, I finished in the top 20 woman in my heat which was a huge accomplishment not to mention a blast!

The run till your green race was my fastest 5k to date!

The happiest 5k on earth, need I say more!

I also took a girls trip to Tahoe with Anu to celebrate her upcoming wedding. To say it was the best girls trip EVER would be the biggest understatement of the century.

After Tahoe came my favorite trip of the year which is going to Cali to visit sister stew, go to stagecoach (watching Lynyrd Skynyrd perform free bird live is now at the top 10 happiest moments of my life) and of course we couldn’t leave without saying hello to the mouse!

As you can clearly see married life continues to get better by the day. Being married to your best friend is truly life’s greatest blessing. I fall in love with Colt more and more everyday and being away from him (even only for the work day) is truly hard. I love being by his side, he makes my life richer and me better. I can’t wait to celebrate our 5 years together, and 2 years married in August!

When I woke up this morning and realized it was 30 days until 30 a part of me felt really sad to know that my 20’s (the best years of my life, thus far) were coming to an end. Yet part of me felt so incredibly overwhelmed with excitement for the next year to come! 30 — three zero — the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult is still extremely weird and overwhelming to me on the daily and now to know that I’m a soon to be thirty year old is even weirder!!! Especially when you hear things like “make sure you have a good a skin-care regimen if you don’t already” and that my exercise routine will now be a necessity rather than a leisure which I can’t lie scares me a lot. But on the flip side I am also ready to find out the good stuff like why they say life begins at 30 and to experience all the new adventures, lessons and blessings that are yet to come.

As for the rest, they say counting time isn’t as important as making time count..” and I fully intend to do just that!
