From beautiful beaches, to majestic mountains, and breathtaking sunsets, it has been one miraculous moment after the other.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If you would have told me a few years ago that I would be spending Thanksgiving with my husband and kids on this amazing island, I probably would not have thought it would be possible.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Yet, here we are! And every moment of this trip has been a dream come true!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">While some people may say that I should have come alone with my husband for a romantic getaway, I&#8217;ll tell you what I know to be true! Love and romance are a creation! We get to create as much love, passion, and romance as our hearts desire. And, while, yes, perhaps it may have been a bit more romantic to be here without the kids, that hasn&#8217;t stopped us from creating some truly romantic moments while we&#8217;ve been here.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The first one happened at the Pearl Harbor Memorial, I mentioned to my husband that I would love to have a unique souvenir that I would see and use often and that would remind me of our trip. Before we left Pearl Harbor, we saw a small kiosk selling Hawaiian pearls. As soon as I saw the pendant of &#8220;The Tree of Life,&#8221; I gasped! It was so beautiful and original, and the monument had moved me to tears. Plus, knowing that the tree symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and a reminder that we are all interconnected made it all the more special! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I kept going between wanting the ring or the pendant, because they were both so beautiful! Then, my husband surprised me by telling the saleslady, &#8220;She&#8217;ll take both of them!&#8221; I squealed with delight as my eyes watered up and I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a sweet, long kiss! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The saleslady&#8217;s eyes watered, too, and she said, &#8220;How cute! How long have you two been together?&#8221;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5301 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Tree-of-life-ring_Hawaii_11-20-16.jpg\" alt=\"tree-of-life-ring_hawaii_11-20-16\" width=\"172\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Tree-of-life-ring_Hawaii_11-20-16.jpg 720w, https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Tree-of-life-ring_Hawaii_11-20-16-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 172px) 100vw, 172px\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5300\" src=\"http:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Tree-of-life-pendant_Hawaii_11-20-16.jpg\" alt=\"tree-of-life-pendant_hawaii_11-20-16\" width=\"239\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Tree-of-life-pendant_Hawaii_11-20-16.jpg 720w, https:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Tree-of-life-pendant_Hawaii_11-20-16-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;17 years,&#8221; I<br \/>\nanswered.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;Wow!

No one else was dancing, and it didn&#8217;t matter. We just stared into each other&#8217;s eyes and danced!
