Timing is impeccable. It amazes me that certain people walk into your life at just the right time. It saddens me that the same people are usually taking steps to begin a new chapter in their lives just as you begin to fall in love with everything they're about. You know this person is leaving so you try to make the most of it. You want to spend every second with him and embark on adventures no one has ever experienced. You want to make new memories that will last forever. You know his heart isn't fully there with you, yet you can't help but want to feel exactly what he's feeling. You want to see the world through his eyes. You want to create a friendship that is everlasting, and you hope for a relationship that defies all normalities. A rather special bond has been formed and you’re afraid to speak up because after spending such a short amount of time in each others arms you feel it may be foolish. Foolish? You may never see each other again! Foolish is not following your heart; not speaking up; not going with your gut instinct!
Always go with your gut instinct. Trust yourself.
Baby, my eyes are wide with curiosity. My thoughts are traveling to foreign places. My body’s experiencing things like never before.
Again, timing is impeccable.
"love of mine,
someday you will die.
but i'll be close behind,
i'll follow you into the dark.
Sometimes you have to let a person find themselves before they realize what they want. Even after finding their self they still may be clueless. Is not knowing where you want to end up really such a bad thing? I know I want to fall in love. I know the man I want next to me. I know I don't want an everyday routine life. I know I want to fall in love!! With the world. With friends. "son, fear is the heart of love." Stop wasting time being afraid. Yes, people always leave, but if it's meant to be something more they'll come back. The hardest part of all this is simply being patient and trusting time.
it's nothing to cry about cause we'll hold each other soon.
I can wait. cause you're the only song i want to hear.

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!

jurassic bark
The reinstatement of Michael Vick is one of the sickest and most demented thing the NFL has ever allowed. I don’t know how the rest of the country feels, but I can state my feelings and I’m sure lots of people will agree. Most people I’ve spoken to over the last few days aren’t knowledgeable of the fact that he didn’t just run a dog-fighting ring. This is a man who supported the joy of watching dogs kill each other as well as murdering the dogs that didn’t fight well. This is a man who participated in gruesome acts such as shooting, hanging, drowning, electrocuting and slamming dogs into the ground. What kind of human being is capable of doing such a thing? Well, there are lots of those kinds in this world. Our job as a community and structured democracy is to see that they are righteously punished. Twenty-three months as punishment? Let’s remember that only eight-teen of those months were actually served in prison. The rest of his term was spent on house arrest in his classy, sprawling Virginia estate. Talk about the good life. I don’t feel this man was righteously punished as it is, but then to reinstate him into the NFL?! Michael Vick will be paid $1.625 million for the 2009 season unless of course the team that signed him, none other than the Philadelphia Eagles, will drop him before regular season begins. If the team keeps him for the 2010 season he’ll be getting $5.25 million plus a $1.5 million roster bonus! This is incredible that a person of his nature is even allowed to make this type of money. What amazes me even more is that young kids will be idolizing this man. The NFL is responsible for allowing this man to represent what’s wrong with this country. You can do something as horrible and atrocious as killing dogs and still have the “good life.” He will still reap all the wonderful benefits that so many of us hard-working, honest, good people will never experience. Sure, Michael Vick is going to show remorse during interviews. And of course he has completely changed for the better in the past two years. Who wouldn’t say that stuff if they were being allowed to have celebrity status and offered lots of money?
There’s not a lot one person can do to get Vick out of the NFL. I can write all the things I feel all day and I probably won’t get anywhere with it. We can change the outcome of this horrifying situation as a group. We can try to prevent Vick from being a professional football player as a community. But as a country who loves the sport, we can show the NFL that we will not root for and/or support an organization that backs up a dog killer. Shame on the Eagles for considering and accepting Michael Vick as a team member. Shame on Commissioner Roger Goodell for granting Vick a second chance that he does not deserve. And shame on those who support this man!
I will not be bleeding green this season.

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.
