San Diego here we come!!!

James, Sam and I will be heading out to San Diego tomorrow for the weekend. Sam's b-day is Saturday- he will be 17! Tamara, Pierre and Sebas (hopefully not psycho Sebas) will be joining us there. On Saturday, the Akins will also join us. It should be a fun time! We are going to stay at the Hyatt Mission Bay and I know that the boys will go fishing. Tam, Sebas and I will hang out and catch up! Pics to follow of course!

Recuperating from our Super Bowl Hangover!!!

James and I worked and worked and worked during Superbowl week. James worked 18 days straight and I worked 12 days straight without a day off. It was exciting to see all the famous people downtown. The ESPN radio guys were broadcasting live from the front drive of the hotel. I know it was great for the city but we did work our butts off! Here's some better pics of the hotel and surrounding area!

Akin's Kauai Home





Here is the home we will be living in on Kauai. It is 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and is on a 1/2 acre.
For those familiar with Kauai, the home is just north of Kapaa.
Norm will sure enjoy the gardening.
There is a dirt bike track just up the road from the house so that will be fun for him too. :)
The beach is just about 10 minutes down the road.

Baby Norm


Here is Norm as a baby with GranAranna.
Look at how much Norm's grandson Jace looks like him as a baby.

Super Bowl Mania Downtown Phoenix!




















My awesome staff at the desk with me. From left to right- Melanie, Grace, Georgiana, Derek, Rossana and Kasama




Here's just some exciting pics of the area- I saw LL Cool Jay today in the lobby- he was pretty cool. I think that was it for the celeb sightings but we have a ton in the area and staying at the hotel. Whew- crazy time is almost over. By the time James gets a day off, he will have worked 18 days straight!

Grace's Wedding!
















There are about 100 more pictures from Rossana's camera- she's a picture-aholic!!!
The happy couple!




James and I had a great time together on 1/18/08 when we went to Grace and Abel's wedding! We felt very special to be included and enjoyed meeting their families!

Old Pics that I just got from May 5 (yes, Cinco de Mayo)






















Our dear friend Sara Twedt (Twedter) was in town, so we had to celebrate!
