Happy Prince Kuhio Day (yesterday)



Yesterday was Prince Kuhio Day. I love Prince Kuhio. He was born a royal man but after Hawaii was overthrown he became a politician in the Territory of Hawaii as delegate to the United States Congress, and as such is the first native Hawaiian and only person ever elected to that body who was born a royal. (Wikipedia)
This is not why I love the Prince however. Although what he did for his generation was great, what he did for the generations that followed was even greater. He gave us a state holiday and with that holiday he gave us a day off of work and school. Which meant JMC had no school yesterday! WooHoo! What did we do to celebrate you ask?? First off we slept in. Then we spent sometime just cuddling in bed. After that I had to go workout (not my favorite part of the day). Eventually we made it to the beach to spend sometime with some good friends surfing, playing catch, and just soaking in the sun (when it wasn't hiding behind the clouds). It was a good time. After that we had to head off to dinner. JMC some how got us invited to dinner by a 50 year old lady who works in the honor code office. Even better is he got this invite while getting an extension on his beard card. And best yet she gave it to him without making him go see a doctor first. That is my husband for you.
Dinner ended up being very enjoyable even though we were both dreading it. We ate with about eight other students and there was a spot saved for Jesus at the table. (no joke) The food was amazing, the company was entertaining, and the soft love music playing in the back ground made the atmosphere perfect.
We came home with full bellies at 8:00pm and both crashed into a food coma fully clothed. (which is why this post was not written yesterday)
Thanks Prince Kuhio.

  1. Well, at least I thank you for showing us the 'fully clothed' version of waking up. We miss our Sunday walks, however, we are trying to play games more in the evening, it doesn't always work out though. Jeff claims he has to babysit the boys - whatever! Take care Jilly Bean! we miss you two.
