On Friday, Josh promoted to Captain in the Marines! Below are pictures of his ceremony that morning. His current Company Commander performed the ceremony and his former Company Commander and myself pinned on his new rank. Way to go Josh :). Thank you for serving our country!

Thanking everyone.

Pu’u ‘Ualaka’a Lookout

Today, my aunt and I headed up Tantalus Drive toward the Pu’u ‘Ualaka’a Lookout (what Josh and I commonly refer to as “Tantalus”). It has amazing views of the city from Diamond Head all the way past Pearl Harbor. The views are absolutely stunning!

Sunset Beach and Banzai Pipeline

Posted on October 21, 2013 by sandersnm

On Friday, we headed up to Sunset Beach for a beautiful sunset. Added to the awesome evening were the HUGE pipeline waves and tons of surfers and bodyboarders. It was awesome! It was my first chance seeing the pipeline and I was amazed at the power of the waves and the surfers that successfully conquered them. We stayed until it was almost dark out and people were still surfing and bodyboarding. It was so awesome that we went back on Sunday to catch the waves during the daylight hours. They were just as amazing, if not bigger and there were even more people out. It’s hard to imagine that they get even bigger as we head into the winter months!
