9/9/07 - The Quiet

Everyone is gone.

My cell phone hasn't rung for 12 hours, a record since the whole wedding craziness began.

Last night we said goodbye to my husband's brothers (I still get butterflies calling him that, even though it is a week today since the ceremony). Two work colleagues left as well, and my parents have gone round the island with some Kiwi friends who flew here for the wedding.

This is the first morning that we haven't been woken up by my relatives talking about their plans to visit the volcano, my great uncle making cracks about dildos (no joke), or our jet-lagged friends with no idea what to do with themselves wide awake at 5:30 am.

Although there isn't a cloud in the sky, the ocean is only steps away, and the Big Island is a fabulous hub of outdoor activity, he and I decided that we are not going to leave the house today. We might venture out of the house to Wal-Mart to put his brothers mini-discs on DVD so we can see footage of the wedding and the last week of our adventures with our closest friends around the island, but some how I don't think we will.

Goal today is to 1) get all the wedding photos up on some website (still have to make it), and 2) plan what I am gonna do with my days in Hawaii with no job.

Will let you know how I do;)
