Earlier this month we had an amazing time in Hawaii to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary. We stayed in the Ko Olina Beach Villas and it was just as relaxing as we hoped! We spent plenty of time at the beach, visited the Dole pineapple plantation, ate at the shrimp trucks in North Shore, and toured the USS Missouri. Here are a few instagrams from the trip!

Found myself looking at iPhone cases again. Society6 sure can keep a girl busy for hours. I’m especially loving all the Disney themed ones, so here are a few of my favorites.

The Lights, Minimalist Paperman, Hakuna Matata

Mickey Mouse as Steamboat Willie, Stitch Good and Bad Meter, Supermodel

Adventure Is Out There!, The Haunted Mansion, Doors

A project I’ve been working on with meltmedia launched yesterday. It’s called WhyAZ and shares the many reasons we love living and working in Arizona.

The site was incredibly fun to make. It was designed entirely in the browser and all the graphical elements are drawn with CSS. You can view the site at why.az and read more about the process on my website: Why WhyAZ?
