Time Flies...

.. when you are having fun and under a deadline.

First for the fun:

Oahu was a great time, not sure how I ever lost the love I had for the islands, must have been when I went soul dead in my latter 20's. I wasn't all that jazzed about Oahu in itself, but once there the island breezes just brought it back. I've always said that "perfect" is evening in the low 70's with a warm breeze and Oahu was close enough.

The wedding went well overall, the only slight hiccup being a little rain while we were standing up there but it was short-lived and warm enough where it didn't matter. You can't plan anything outdoors there without figuring you will get some rain. It was good to spend time with everyone. Jeff is for all intensive purposes my brother, we've been best friends for over 25 years. I'm Uncle Steve to his daughter Jaida and his parents are like Uncle and Aunt to me. I've known Jeff's wife, Angelique for years as well they actually dated for a while in high school before going their separate ways. They remained friends and then started dating again about 4 years ago. It's a great family situation, her parents are great people as well and are good friends with Jeff's parents so no trouble with the inlaws.

Most of the photos are from wedding taken by Jeff's Dad. I managed to get a few good shots in there.

I called it, the flight back from Hawaii was misery. I didn't realize it, but the seat I chose online got bumped out of the system so I was part of a group of unlucky bastards who had to wait until the end to get seat assignment. Of course I get stuck in a middle seat, so I am wedged between two other guys with my arms glued to my side. We are not in the ari long before a little kid in the row across the aisle from me starts to have a total fit. I don't sleep well on planes so I wasn't one of the unfortunate one's woken up. This kid pulled the same thing a little later and then another child a couple rows up acted up later in the flight. No more red eye flights unless I have to.

Now for the not so fun. I'm playing the part of the bottom boy to work and will for next couple of weeks. I have massive amounts of work and I'm behind so I will be scarce. I will find time to take a break now and then but you gotta do what you gotta do. The next two weeks are the most critical so wish me luck. I'm trying to get it all done without resorting to pulling the 4AM-6PM+ shifts I have done more times than I care to consider. We shall see.
