Baby Rose and Hugo had a great Easter! And I hope Lily did, too. Lav helped me put together some really nice baskets for all three of them. Thank goodness for Lavender.

I've been thinking, and well, would you want to come and stay with me and the kids full time? Live with us, that is?

I've dated a couple of people before. Nothing too serious, nobody ever really grabbed my interest all that much. But oh my gawd has that changed now. I am seriously so head-over-heels for Cat it's just insane.

I have no idea how a nerdy, wrestling-obsessed girl like me ended up with such a spectacular woman, but DAMN am I not complaining.

Once upon a time, I was a shy little girl who was just discovering that she can use magic.

One year, three months, and ten days later. I feel like a whole new person.

Well it's no Hogwarts or Diagon Alley, but I'll take this over the alternative. It could be worse I suppose.

"What's that, Jen? You're in a super-good mood today? Why's that?"

"Oh, no big deal, World... I just went to pick up some lunch and happened to end up talking to Harry Potter..."

Fuck. That. Stupid. Gem.

That is all.

We are enjoying this trip to Hawaii. Claudia is fitting in so well, I'm so proud of her.

We've been shopping, got lost for only a moment or two. But got some great clothes for all of us, including Kat.

Usually with a trip there are headaches, the hotel rooms weren't quite ready so we went to get lunch. Of courses the girls all got American food and didn't try out anything Hawaiian.

This was in the news when we got here. 'Hawaii bans certain sunscreens to protect coral reef,' so of course what we had was one of the banned sunscreens. You guessed it, we got blistered the first day. Good thing there was a doctor in the house.

We found a quaint local store that had the correct sunscreen. I imagine we will spend the rest of our days at the beach.

Tonight were are going to a lūʻau, where they are going to roast a pig. It's called Kālua cooking. The pig is cooked in an underground pit all day long.

Wish my friends were here, were having a wonderful time.

I feel like I haven't seen my friends in far too long.
