MAUI!!!

Honeymoon pictures and updates from the new Mrs. Hsu!!!...does this mean I should change my xanga to ahsu? or maybe achenhsu...as in aching shoe, get it? hahaha...no? ok, nm.  Oh yeah, too many wedding pictures to sort through so I'm posting about the honeymoon first.  Wedding pictures to follow...sometime within the next couple months...

SO! The new Mr. and Mrs. Hsu make up for their not-so-grand wedding exit by liv'n large and flying first class to Maui! Check it out:

After a couple mimosa's and too many trips to the first class restroom (which is in fact no grander than the regular lavatory in the back), we arrive in Maui and promptly get laid!

...with seashell lei's that is...because that's what you do in hawaii.  Anyway, we check out the local digs, not much happening in Wailea/Mckenna.  The scenary was of course gorgeous.  This is the view from our room (well, not that last one, but it was such a pretty shot I had to put it in somewhere):

We went scuba diving at Reef's End and 5 Caves, saw lots of giant green sea turtles...I wanted to ride one, but apparently that kills them according to the hotel magazine.  I think they're lying.

Here we are swimming along and then BAM! a barracuda!!! Ooooohhh...scary...

Thomas saw a shark...good thing I was looking the other direction at the fishies otherwise I would have completely freaked out!

Here are some other beautiful creatures we saw:

More honeymoon/tourity stuff...


The rest of the trip was basically summed like this: wake up, snorkel, see the sea turtles/fishies, lay out and tan, cool out in the ocean, shower, eat lunch, eat ice cream, take a nap, watch TV or shop, eat dinner, drink wine, go to bed, repeat.  What a LIFE!




...and then the dream ended and we had to pack up to go home after a beautiful 8 days of pure relaxation.  woe are we...aren't we pitiful?

hmm...tempting indeed

In the past week, I've been contacted twice for an Audit Manager position with two different companies...a sign? who knows...I must say it's a very tempting thought...a manager title along with manager pay sure sounds good...but then again, for the first time I am truly happy with my job.  I love what I do and I love my coworkers.  That's worth more than management salary, right? I think I'll stay for now...what do you think???

LA Bridal Shower/Bachelorette Party!!!

Talk about a fun-filled weekend! Thomas left for his bachelor party in Atlantic City on Thursday so I had the whole weekend to spend with just the girls. My sister flew in on Friday night, went shopping Saturday morning, bridal shower in the afternoon, and the bachelorette party at night! woohoo!

Have I mentioned how fabulously talented one of my bridesmaids in? Check out her delicious handy work:

Two of my lovely bridesmaids...and don't we look like we're posing for a family portrait?

soooo...the very first gift I opened was from my older sister...thanks jie, lovely...

We danced the night away at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood for my bachelorette party.  I love this club! They had some awesome performers on Saturday too, some hip-hop dancers, some break dancers, and this guy on stilts dancing around the floor and climbing up the walls...pretty neat.  I took some video clips of the break dancers, but alas, I don't know how to post video on Xanga so these pictures of some HOT ladies will have to suffice.
