Went out for a date night with friends Kai and Jason to listen to Jason's brother's band perform at Cha Cha Cha Salsaria, which just happens to be Chris' favorite Mexican restaurant. Chase hung out with the Halsalls. They took him out for their first time, to eat dinner at Kahala Mall. He was good, until about an hour before we came to pick him up, as he had woken up and just wanted Mommy. But, nursing him took care of that, and then he was out again for the night.
It was fun hanging out and listening to mellow music tonight. We enjoyed good conversation, sharing each other's weird quirks (though I beat them all with my weird quirk of sleeping with the covers over my head) and Kai's idea of me opening a daycare so that I can take care of their kid (who has not even been conceived yet). We ate and talked and didn't even mention Chase or baby talk until nearly 10 pm!
About Me
- Tanya Mau-Halsall
- I am a 33 year old elementary school teacher, born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i. After living in Seattle and overseas in Thailand for a total of 12 years, I returned to Hawai'i to help take care of my father, who was diagnosed with ALS, a.k.a. Lou Gherig's Disease, in October 2004. After 2 1/2 years of watching his body slowly decline, my father earned his wings April 2007 and is no longer suffering. The past couple of years was spent sharing valuable time together and making more memories, as my father got to "walk" me down the aisle, though he was a couple months shy of seeing the birth of his first grandchild. And now, with new life, the journey continues with baby Chase, as I learn how to balance teaching, marriage, and being a mom. This online journal is a way for me to express myself, through my love of traveling, photography, and writing, while keeping in touch with family and friends.
