Hawai’i

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. 

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!

It’s Georgie Washington’s birthday today!!!
I celebrated by eating Washington apples, doing George Washington hair (see left), and worked on being a better president.
I just love celebrating.

I really love being Relief Society president.
I love it so much.

Tonight I had the opportunity to go to the hospital with these peeps and visit one of the sisters there who just had surgery. Took her home teachers with us and gave her a blessing. What beautiful experiences I’m being blessed with and great chances to give service.

I am just learning so much every day from my new calling. Yes I’ve got a lot a lot more to do, but it has been such a blessing in my life.
I really really love it.

This was my day today.

Beautiful.

This was the other part of my day.
Happy.

And this was the morning.
Homemade acai bowl.
Delicious and nutritious.

I surely love life here at BYU Hawaii.

But holy moly, I miss Jerusalem so much it hurts.
Watching these youtube videos of fellow Jerusalemers (One Day 1, One Day 2, Flashback 1, Flashback 2, Flashback 3) makes me wish I had a time machine so badly, so I could go back and do it all again. And a time machine would just be really cool in general.

Aside from time machines, I just bought this blessed song on itunes. Makes me miss Jerusalem even more.

I got done with class at 11 this morning. You know what that means…. adventure time!

Hayley and I hiked up to Makapu’u Lighthouse.
It was niiiice and windy.
And I was barefoot.
I loved it.

We even saw some humpback whales out yonder.

I also tried meditating in an old bunker.

Then we cruised around Kailua, found a sweet awesome marvelous health food store, ate a burrito, went to a thrift store, and got an acai bowl. How perfectly delightful is that?

And we listened to lots of sweet jams in the car too.
The Gambler by Fun was repeated many a time.
Listen to it. You will like it very much.

And I especially love days that are dedicated to them, days such as Presidents Day!

My roommate Hayley and I picked up our goodie friends Kenze and Lauren and cruised on down to Town. We dropped then off at Waikiki to go surfing and then we saw the sign for Diamond Head, so we very spontaneously decided to hike on up there. Twas so beautiful. I love this island.

I went to FHE tonight too and played some neato Capture the Flag.

Aaaaannnndddd…. Hayley and I had a super awesome dance party. It was most hilarious dance party ever. You should check out our video appropriately entitled “Spontaneity” on my facebook. I love dance parties, and presidents, and knee slaps.
