I’m not a big fan of the ends of semesters. Too much to do. Too many papers to write, exams to study for, projects to do. Maybe I should start working on semester projects earlier in the semester. Yes. I should.
P.S. A year ago I had just stopped at Caesarea Maritima to reunite with the sea, the Mediterranean Sea. We were headed to Galilee, where I had some of the best times of life. Never stop missing it.
Carla boy got here Sunday night. Yay! We are little boys in this picture.
A week of sleeping three people in two beds. It’s kind of awesome. Kind of not.
Monday was my birthday! I went to one class and skipped two. We were happy about that.
While Carla was here, we did cartwheels…
We took pictures at bus stops…
and in abandoned buildings.
It was a very happy birthday thanks to my loved ones.
Especially when I got to make wishes. I love that.
The next day we had another very lovely photo shoot.
So glad dear Sister was here for this one.
Quite happy Carla was there too.
Then came St. Patrick’s Day! We played on the beach…
and explored Chinatown…
stopped at Pearl Harbor for a few minutes…
and found a super awesome Goodwill. I love that place.
Thursday commenced with an early morning barefoot hike into the mountains. How lovely.
Around midday we went the fabulous Polynesian Cultural Center, along with some cross dressers who we discretely took this picture of as they were behind us.
That evening we made some spectacular cookies. Thank you Mother dear!
After going to one class on Friday, Carla and I went on another barefoot hike through the jungle…
where we jumped off a rock into a cascading waterfall. Yay!
Went to the movies that night too. I like movies.
Adventure Saturday! The Three Musketeers and our two movie star friends did the Makapuu hike.
C Dawg and I spotted some sailboats!
Stacy spotted some pools of water that we need to go further explore.
We did some Waikiki action too and ate way too many chocolate covered macadamia nuts.
Sunday we churched it up of course and I took Carla boy to the airport that evening. Sad to say goodbye yet again. Why do we always have to say goodbye? I miss that girl a lot. But at least I’ve still got the other musketeer here with me.
I LOVE BIRTHDAYS SO MUCH!
An entire day devoted to celebrating myself… how wonderful is that! Birthdays are nothing but glorious.
Started my day with a lovely beach run.
Went to one class. Skipped two.
Came home to a beautifully decorated house.
Had a photo shoot with my favorite Carla girl.
Enjoyed a little party with my three favorite amigas.
Open some very lovely presents.
Ate some magically delicious chocolate.
More peeps came over later for cake.
I made wishes.
They’ll come true.
and it feels so goooood!!!
broken is my phone
broken is my communication avec mi amigos
hoping and praying for little phone to fix itself soon
My 21st birthday is coming soon!
I’m getting some sweet mail for the occasion.
I love mail so much. I need to send muchos more of it. I will.
Got an incredible box of happy birthday-ness from Alexis and Elena, and got a sweet box from Holly and Mom too.
Oh it makes me so happy!
Sister and I did the 5k fundraiser run for Haiti today!
Hope this picture doesn’t gross you out at all. :) But my head got super sunburned last week when I was an extra in the movie and the day after that when I was sitting outside all day waiting for the tsunami.
So now my scalp is peeling, in big chunks. Naturally I had to take a picture so I could blog about it for your enjoyment.
Please stop by my office at BYUH Security on a matter now pending.

We definitely had $20 worth of fun though. I'd recommend it.
Today is my goodie friend Ting’s birthday!
I love being in tune with nature.
The “TSUNAMI” came around noon. Do not be deceived by their faces. We couldn’t even see the two inch wave from there. Very fortunately there was no damage done on this island.
After a long hot day in the sun, we climbed back down the hill and went home.
We celebrated the end of tsunami warning with a delicious fajita night and some coconut m&ms. Glad to have gotten this lesson on preparedness and glad nothing happened. Praying for the people in Chile and Argentina, where things did happen.Preparing for 11:19 am.
Big wave coming for Hawaii from 8.9 earthquake in Chile.
No idea what to pack.
No idea what’s going on.
But I feel okay about it all.
So so glad my sister is here.
My first ever concert: Matisyahu!
Hot. Cramped. Loud. But good. :)
with a rooster cockadoodledooing up a storm outside my window.
I like it though. Yes… I like it very much.
Those silly roosters and chickens get me out of bed so I can go for a little run on the beach!
P.S. Guess who I get to see tonight…
I’ll give you one word… MATISYAHU!
