warm face, warm hands, warm feet
I'm here in Hawaii having a blast. I can't believe how much we've done since Sunday! Here's a short rundown of the week:

Saturday night: Got in from Atlanta, went to the Tanakas' house, talked for a while, then went to sleep.

Sunday: Went to church at MCC. It was exactly the way I remembered it (except everyone was six years older). Saw SO many people I remembered and who remembered me. It was really exciting. Then Hannah Knapp came with us to the Dole Plantation pineapple maze. Then we went to North Shore, then to Haleiwa to get Shave Ice. It was SO good! Then the Knapps came over for dinner. That was really alot of fun too. Justin, Nathan, and I played Hallelujah--me on piano, Justin on guitar, and Nate on drums. That sounded pretty cool. Then we ate, then we played Disney SceneIt? and Justin and I won. Then we played Mafia.

Monday: We woke up early and the Tanakas, Knapps, Tina and her mom, and Amy and I all went to Maunawili Falls. SO FUN! The hike was super long and tiring, but the water was well worth it. Hannah got glass in her foot while we were there (yikes). Then we hiked back and picnicked, then Amy came with us to Waikiki beach, and then we got pizza and went home.

Tuesday: We went the Dukes Lane market at Waikiki and had fun bargaining. Then we ate at Ala Moana food court. Then we hiked all the way up Diamond Head to work off our lunch (we hiked all the way up in slippers!). Then *drumroll* we went The Spaghetti Factory! I got the adult plate of macaroni and cheese. It was just as good as I remembered it.

Wednesday: We went to Hanauma Bay. That was really fun...we buried Crystal in the sand. And I got a really bad sunburn because I refused to put sunscreen on. Then we picked Amy up, went to Blockbuster, then went ice skating (yeah I know...ice skating in Hawaii). Then we attempted to watch West Side Story, but all three of us fell asleep within the first 20 minutes.

Thursday (today): The original plan was to go to Ko Olina beach, but there was no parking when we got there, so we went to Waikiki again and the waves were HUGE!!!! Sarah and Amy got cut up from the rocks, but I somehow escaped them. Then we went to the International Market again for a little while, then came home and just hung out, then the Shiromas came over for dinner. I love them! Sean couldn't come though, he's at CEF camp, so just Auntie Crystal and Uncle Joel and Josh came. Josh is so big! We ate spaghetti, then played Disney SceneIt? and mafia AGAIN! lol For the first game of SceneIt? Amy, Sarah, Crystal and I won. Then for the second game Uncle Terry, Uncle Joel, Josh, and Crystal won. And the Shiromas just left.

Tomorrow: We're going to Anna Millers for breakfast (YAY!), then coming home and probably watching a movie or just hanging out, and then pack my stuff, then we're gonna go Asahi Grill for dinner, then we hit the airport *sniff*. I'm not really big on airports. I hope there's good movies playing on my flight.

So that's my super awesome vacation! I'm excited to go home, but I really wish I could stay longer:)

I can't belive my birthday is on Sunday! I'm gonna be so darn jetlagged on Sunday morning at church lol. Well, I should probably go, we might watch a movie called Little Secrets.

Love yall! (Oh yeah, I got Crystal saying 'yall!')

"Remember when I moved in you
The Holy Dark was moving through
And every breath we drew was
Hallelujah"

  • If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to ’scape the serpent’s tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends.

  • Say what you mean, mean what you say
    another day that I can't find my head
    i can stop the pain if i will it all away
    my heart knows me better than i know myself so i'm...
    we could say that forever is more than just a word
    oh no, the bugs are growing faces
    long lost words whisper slowly to me
    don't you worry, there's still time
    everyday i love you more and more
    and there's nothing at all to be done about that!
    everyone knows I'm in over my head, over my head
