Wow, this past month has been crazy and amazing at the same time. Bryan and I spent two weeks exploring the lush and adventure-filled island of Maui and celebrating our friends' wedding in one of the tallest buildings in the world. In Maui, I snorkeled for the first time, watched one of the world's most beautiful sunrises, and biked 23 miles down a mountain. Unfortunately, my poor phone took a dunk in river water during one of our hikes and could not be revived, so I haven't been able to update my Instagram in awhile (sowy!).
We had a blast in Taiwan meeting old friends and making new ones. The wedding was beyond words, and each table had a multiple course meal that rivals some of the best I've eaten. Although I came home to one of the worst jet legs I have ever experienced, it was well worth it and I'm already dreaming of returning to Maui.
Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! Mine was spent hanging out with friends and family, eating (as usual), and jet skiing for the first time!
