Short trip home!

Worked a full day, half of which was out in Princeville! Only to finish work this afternoon, with the realization that I'll be on another plane tomorrow evening, headed off to Portland, Oregon! I've travel quite a bit this 2013, but my gosh it's literally been back to back flying! I feel like I should be a flight attendant. 

Thank goodness I love what I do, I will be presenting Kyäni in Vancouver, Washington, this Saturday! So stoked to help my bestie, Kainoa Pau, build her Kyäni business! Kyani has helped improve the lives of so many people I care about and I'm excited to watch more people grow in Kyäni the way I have. Traffic to my website slowly increases: SharonGibson.Kyani.com while daily the traffic to my Facebook fan page increases steadily: Facebook.com/KyaniKauai Looking forward to closing out this summer with bonus' and shining like the Kyani Sapphire that I know I am! 

Mari and Nate Got Married...

It's been well over a year since I've blogged about anything, but I've truly decided that I'm getting back into it! So excited to share my amazing weekend with wonderful friends!

I spent the weekend, on the island of Oahu preparing and celebrating the nuptials of my dearest friend Mari and her now husband Nate!

They got married yesterday, Sunday, June 30th on the beach at Paradise Cove, Koolina.

With several family and friends in attendance their day was one right out of the fairy tales and she as well as her gorgeous daughter Nikki looked amazing!

The morning started off early, 5:30 to be exact (4:45 for those of us that drove in) with hair and makeup by an amazing artist, Anela Lagazo and her friend Shanny from Bobby & Guy, Pearlridge.

I pray that God keeps his holy blessing over Mari, Nate and Nikki as they continue this life journey as one! Love them all!
