Last week Wednesday, July 28, Keao and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary. It was an interesting day. On that same day, right around lunchtime, I became a father. Being parents was something Keao and I talked about many times while we were dating, when we were engaged and once we were married. We both agreed we wanted to have kids but I would have never guessed it would happen the way it did (you can read Keao’s version here)….
For the last few months, I have been blessed enough with the opportunity to travel to the continent two different times. In May, I went to a conference in Texas and then I went to Pennsylvania to celebrate my sister’s graduation from Carnegie Mellon University. Whenever I go on trips people invariably will ask me what I ate. Luckily for them, I love taking pictures of food so for the next few posts I will show you guys what i…

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, Zip-A-Dee-A My oh my, what a wonderful day Sorry for the long lay off dear blog readers. Things got very busy in my life. Still that’s no excuse. I know some of you have been wondering what happened on our third day on the Garden Isle. Well wonder no more! Here’s the recap! Sunday was probably the day many of us were looking forward to because Sunday was the day we were going to go ziplining! If you’re unfamiliar…
When you see Hanalei by moonlight you will be in Heaven by the sea. Every breeze, every wave will whisper, “You are mine, don’t ever go away”. Day two started nice and late (we didn’t leave the house until 11am) and since we were already pretty far up north we decided to visit Hanalei and continue until we hit the end of the road. Again, growing up I spent many a day on the Hanalei river (if that’s its name)…
There’s an island across the sea, beautiful Kauai, beautiful Kauai. And it’s calling, just calling to me, beautiful Kauai, beautiful Kauai. This year for our annual Ignite trip we decided to go to the beautiful island of Kauai. Growing up my father (and mother) worked for Aloha Airlines so we spent many a day on Kauai with my Uncle Alan and Aunty Audrey. In fact, during the summer between my freshmen and sophomore year I even spent the entire summer…
So here’s the news. Are you ready for it? Because if you’re not ready for it you might as well stop reading right now. That’s right. Stop reading do something else. But if you are ready then keep reading… The latest news in our lives (that’s Keao and I) is that we’re going to be parents! Woo hoo! Take a deep breath and read that again. Keao and I are going to be parents! Were you wondering when we were…
Seven years ago or so I went to Sapporo, Japan for the very first time. Up until then I had only gone to the Kansai area, but due to a slight scheduling conflict our missions team couldn’t go to Kansai and we ended up partnering with a church in Sapporo called Church on the Rock. While I was there I had the privilege of meeting some great people including a woman named Junko. Throughout the years Junko and I kept…
It’s not everyday you can say that you’ve had a hand in creating history (other than the obvious everything you do technically is a part of some sort of history). But today Boston College won the National Championship in men’s hockey at the Frozen Four in Detroit, Michigan. Yay Boston College! So what does that have to do with history? Well how about this. The season they win the National Championship is the same season that Keao and I visited…
