I already miss a lot of things about Hawaii; my be I already miss a lot of things about Hawaii; my beautiful and loving family, the birds singing, the sweet air, and mostly- how good I feel when I’m there! I always feel more relaxed there (it’s in the air). And as soon as I stepped off the plane in Alberta my body began drying out. My lips are chapped, my skin is tight, my hair is frizzing. Thank goodness I have some good winter stuff coming up; cross country skiing, my bday, snowboarding, Christmas, and ice skating. We’ll make the best of the winter!
Back home after a whirlwind weekend in Hawaii cele Back home after a whirlwind weekend in Hawaii celebrating the life of my cousin Tautua.

The love shared between the family this weekend was amazing and so comforting during a difficult time. Aloha to all my lovely Reed family! ❤️
