Mahalo Hawaii

I've been back to Chicago now for 3 weeks and have missed Hawaii very much.  It will always be a place that I will hold very dear to my heart and hope I will get the chance to enjoy it there again in my lifetime.  I gained some unbelievable friendships while there and will never forget how gracious they were to take us all in.  The memories I have from my time spent on the island will be some of the memories I will cherish most in my life I am sure.  From the people, to the culture, to the spirit of the land it was exactly what I needed to get me back on track in life and made me realize just how lucky we all are to have the opportunity to have this journey we call life.  It taught me to once again appreciate, laugh, love, and embrace everything that comes your way.  Mahalo Hawaii for opening my eyes again.
