2012': "MAUI IS ...........WOWEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sweet Lauren... So fun to see her in Maui!!
What can I say ? Our trip to Maui, Hawaii was AWESOME!! The best part seeing my daughter,
Lauren... I don't like being away from my children and I have really missed Lauren. The best
part is that she is doing very well and I feel very good about where she is at and the friends and
people that she associates with.. We stayed at a wonderful family friend of Lauren's home.. They
are wonderful people and very giving and sharing of what they have. We were busy the entire
time and saw almost all of the island of Maui..... It is beautiful, peaceful and paradise.....
The feeling in Maui is casual, relaxing and not stressful.... Everyone seems to really know how
to chill!!! I really needed that type of feeling and I definitely felt it in Maui.... The beaches are
beautiful. The sunset... AMAZING!!! We had many fun adventures and many laughs :)
We had good food, spent time at different beaches, traveled on the road to HANA... (total paradise!) my daughters and son-in-law went snorkeling and saw dolphins, humpback whales,
turtles, fish of all kinds... We shopped till we dropped, went to church, went to the movies,
sight seeing... It was a wonderful trip and I hope I can visit Maui again soon.... It was hard to
leave Lauren when we left but the blessing is ... that she is happy and doing well.. That is all
that this Mother wants for her!!!!!
