Here's a shot of Melodee and I on the blustery coast of North West Maui. The winds were incredibly strong that day. We enjoyed a nice but twisty-turney drive around the top half of the island, including stops for awesome pineapple and incredible banana bread.

Trivia

This picture was taken at a recent (relatively recent) Trentman Family Reunion. If you can guess who's feet those are, where we were at and what we were doing, you will receive a giant imaginary cookie of your choice. Don't need to thank me. Love, Jen

A Stroll Down Rudy's -- Uh -- Memory Lane....

February 14, 2009

Birthdays have always been an occasion in the Hay household ... .. .

But there is one birthday that stands alone in power, in grace, in stunning refinement ... Becca's.

Her day is one of pure celebration with the first note of that dear old tune "Happy Birthday" beginning well before the sun on the 14th and ending with the moon on the sad night of that day when for a year we must say goodbye and wait 'til it comes again.

Some of you have had the opportunity - nay - privilidge of knowing and loving Rudy's BBQ. (For those of you less fortunate, please visit the following website: http://www.rudys.com/)

Is there a word strong enough to convey the love, adoration, and profound respect Becca has for this place? Is it holy, you may ask. Oh yes. A hushed reverence falls upon those who step onto the pure concrete floor. Those who handle the rough - yet lushish - napkins. Those who dare to read - I Didn't Claw My Way to The Top Of the Food Chain to Eat Vegetables.

And so many a year on the sacred occasion of February 14th, a journey - a Pilgrimage if you will - was taken to Rudy's.

I present to you photos of the 2009 Rudy's Pilgrimage.

I love you, Becca!

Blog Changes

Sorry all, I had to change the colors of the blog because I couldn't read the purple font against the black background. Yes Yes I know I'm blind and the old-married-woman... get over it!

February 14th can mean only one thing...

Becca's Birthday! Happy Birthday Becca! I'll let her post to tell all about how wonderful her day was. Jared and I made her some chocolate chip cup cakes (CCCCs). It's a yellow cupcake with a cookie hidden inside and one on top with cream cheese frosting. I really appreciate Becca letting me experimentally cook for her, because I was kinda making it all up as I went! Becca had so many people hanging out at her apartment when we showed up. I think it's just another piece of evidence of how many people love Becca. When you become Becca's friend, she's there for you FOREVER. She always has such a good perspective on things and is such a good listener and friend. If you want to have a fun time, you call up Becca!

Snowmen Beware...

Go to youtube - type in motorcrazy3 in the search box -- click on the little blue link bottom right of the first video that comes up --- that will take you to Chris' homepage -- and behold the video "Snowman Owned...."

And yes -- that was done at 11 PM! Crazy person -- I was wondering why we got that letter from the home owner's association ... No better time to move I suppose... :P

Happy Valentines

Everyone has their own love language and everyone expresses their love differently. (It's a baguette of bread.)
