and she says "don't worry baby"

I am in Owensboro, Kentucky right now and I'm watching Law & Order. This episode features Hilary Duff. Apparently some spanish lady stole her baby. I'm not buying it though.

My company sent me to help train some new employees at our newest operations in Kentucky & Tennessee. As of right now everything is going great. The people here love us, which is truly a good feeling. I am actually enjoying myself a lot more than I imagined. I want to transfer up here. I'm almost certain it would be approved, but Erik doesn't want to come up here. He's holding out for his dream job in California. I'm so confused because this could be a really great opportunity for me.

Today I had to deny boarding to an elderly passenger due to his oxygen tank. I felt unbelievably terrible, but he completely understood. I ended up taking a break from work to drive him back home since his daughter stayed on the flight. We got to talking and I told him how I wasn't from the area. Later in the day he & his wife came back and invited me over for dinner. I had some of the best BBQ food ever tonight. We really just talked all night. Tuesday, Betty & I are going to go out on the town so she can show me around. I'm stoked!!

Looks like Hilary Duff is lying. It's only 15 minutes into this episode though...anything could happen!

there is just one moon and one golden sun

Well, we survived philly and are now in Sunny California except it hasn't been very sunny.

We went to Disney Land on Thursday and had a blast there. We went on as many rides as we could and saw a parade which included just about every disney character ever.




San Luis Obispo is really nice. I don't want to go back to the islands... at all. Once you live somewhere it really takes the beauty and fun away from it.

I'm rushing this post. More later.

gonna fly now, flying high now

So, I haven't posted here since I've been on vacation.

Erik and I left Maui on June 8th & we arrived in Philly on June 9th. We were delayed in Denver for about 3 hours which is no surprise to me. We covered a lot of ground in philly though.

I'll post more on that part of the trip soon...including pictures.

a change in style for a little while is only make believe

Obviously, I am terrible at keeping this updated anymore. With that being said, I'm also terrible at taking pictures. I've never been one to have the latest devices in technology...well, except that one time I owned a blackberry for a total of 8 days. Luckily, I had Jackie talk me into returning it and putting my money towards something more useful. Anyways, I'm getting off track.

I'm just gonna upload one picture. Mainly because I think it's the best picture ever taken. I'll try to go into full detail of the happenings on Maui in the life of Lisa Nowacky.

First, Erin and Pete had a healthy baby boy on March 28th! Baby Peter and my pop have the same birthday...pretty neat. I can't wait to meet him.

Second, Jamie & Chace tied the knot on May 16th during a beautiful sunset on a beach in Sarasota. I'm so unbelievably happy I was able to be there to help them celebrate. Jamie & I might be a million miles apart but she's my other half and there's no way I would miss out on her biggest and most important day... And I'm talking about her bachelorette party. WOW! What a night!

I also finally met Jaedyn. He is the most calm baby ever. I wish I was closer so I could spoil him every day.

As for island life, well Erik & I finally moved in with our friends David and Melissa. We're living in a 2 bedroom condo in Kahului and it's wait for it, wait for it... awesome! We go to the beach every chance we get and grill, drink and surf. It's so sweet.

I met Lady Gaga a couple days ago. And now I'm sitting at work waiting to go meet & greet Kanye West. He's flying up to Hana on one of our planes. I'll post pictures later.

And in 3 days I'll be flying home to Philly! I can't wait to see my sisters and every one else. Sara graduates high school and I'd be really happy for her if it didn't make me feel incredibly old.

That's that.

going to the chapel and we're gonna get marrrrriied

Jamie Lynn McMichaels!

sometimes you want to go...

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?

All those night when you've got no lights,
The check is in the mail;
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail;
And your third fiance didn't show;

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.

Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead;
The morning's looking bright;
And your shrink ran off to Europe,
And didn't even write;
And your husband wants to be a girl;

Be glad there's one place in the world
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to go where people know,
People are all the same;
You want to go where everybody knows your name.

Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;

oh good god, holy shit the joke's on us, not on them

Everybody all over America is talking about it. They all want to know if it's true. People are joking and asking if the bail money was fake money. They don't understand how Ashley was a former Miss North Wildwood & could be doing this behind everyone's back. We (family & friends) all just recently boasted about how proud we were that one of our own was elected Miss North Wildwood.

Well, we always knew Ashley would be famous one day...

...I guess we just never quite thought it'd be for something as wild as this.

I didn't think it was possible, but Hawaii just got a little bit better...
