Best Saturday EVER!!!

So last Saturday was the best day ever!!! We woke up and started the day off by going to breakfast at Huli Lau. And then it was time to hit up the bus and go to Waimea beach. There we jumped off the big 25 foot rock and had so much fun simply swimming around.

Then it was time for my to cross something off my list of 22 things to do before I turn 22. SO... Mandy and Derek decided to bury me in the sand.

They turned me into the best lookin' Merman anyone has ever seen. Look at those muscles!!!
The sand got heavy and it was time to break free. Once I emerged out of my little sand cocoon I had sand all over me. The sand made me sparkle in the sun!!! Take a look.

After soaking up lots of rays Derek, Anna, and I hit the road with our thumbs waving through the air... that's right we were hitch hiking. We got picked up by 5 different people and each time the people got a little bit crazier. We had a blast eating shaved ice, going shopping, dancing in the road, and going to a little shrimp shack. Good times!!!

Below is a picture of me and my new talent. My good friend Ryan Stoker taught me how to brake an apple in half with just my bare hands. I know, I know I am quite the muscle woman.

A little piece of SUNSHINE

I LOVE MY HAWAII!!!
I really am living on a little piece of Heaven on earth!!!
This is the view from my back porch. Can you believe I wake up to this everyday? How lucky am I? One of my favorite things to do is eat my breakfast on my porch. Unfortionitally, since I have started working I am up before the sun, but Saturdays are the perfect morning for a good breakfast on the porch. Oh, and us girls love climbing up on the roof... you can see everything from up there. It's beautiful day and night. It is a great place to go at night to go star gazing. I have seen many shooting stars from up there.

This is a picture of bikini beach right behind my house. I love going down there as often as I can. In fact, just the other night I enjoyed some nice skinny dipping with my girls. There is nothing better than being totally free in the ocean.

This next picture might come as a bit of a surpise to some, but here I am with my roomie Tori riding home on a bike. Yes it's true... I have finally learned how to ride a bike. In fact, I love riding!!! I am going to be buying my first bike in 2 weeks and I can't wait to have a bike of my own. Family this means you can't tease me anymore for not knowing how to ride a bike!!!

Ok, so this Hammock has a story behind it. One day I was walking home from work and decided to walk along the beach and have a little picnic. My day was already going perfect when I looked over and saw this hand-made hammock. It was like a dream out of a movie. I mean how often do you just run into a perfect little hammock on the beach? Turns out my friend Jake actually made it one day when he came across a washed up fishing net. This hammock has turned into one of my new favorite places.

Ulrika (My Swedish friend) and I came across this big, fat monster truck. That thing would take us out and not even know it. The sad thing is the people in the truck probably wouldn't even notice either. HA! I love big trucks, but lets be real that thing is a little too big for it's own good.

Below is a picture of some of us girls at Ulrika's going away party. Left to right we have:
Sophia, Steph, Mandy, Ulrika, Joy, and then Anna is in the yellow and that's me popping out. Oh, how I love my girls!!! I am going to miss Ulrika!!! We have become way good friends. I am just going to have to visit her next summer when I am traveling around Europe.

So when it rains in Hawaii... IT POURS!!! Here I am riding a bike throught the pouring down rain. Talk about being soaking wet and hydroplaning through some massive puddles. But heck it sure did make a good memory.

This is a picture after the big rain storm. Ulrika and I went to the PCC night show and I just sat there shivering wet and cold. But hey like I said before it sure did make for a good memory.


RAIN OR SHINE...

HAWAII WILL ALWAYS ROCK!!!

Peek-A-Boo...take a peek into my crazy, busy life!!!

I have turned into a crazy busy working bee. Below is a picture of me hard at work. Dad taught me well how to get down and dirty and to use my tools. You can take that how ever you would like. HA! No, just kidding. A few weeks ago I ended up getting two jobs and I started working 60 hours a week. One job was at Angel's Ice Cream and the other was my old job from last week at the Seasider Cafe on campus. They asked me to come back full time as a supivisor. How cool is that? I love being back. I feel at home back there washin' my dishes and gettin' it done. I know how to run most everything... from the ice cream and sandwiches to the grill and stir fry. It feels good to be a working woman. I did however end my job at Angel's so I would have a little more time to play. You know me and playin'!!! WORK HARD, PLAY HARD!!! That's my motto.

One nice afternoon, Joy and I decided to hit up the North Shore just for the fun of time. We had a ball hitting up the beach and then we did a little shopping. Mostly we just had fun being silly togther. I love my little bundle of "JOY".

This is a picture of my good friend Anthony. Anthony just got baptized and I am so happy for him!!! He has completely changed his life and turned it over to God. Go Anthony- YOU ROCK!!!

Our basketball team rocked it this year!!! I had loads of fun cheering them on. Wednesday was our biggest game in our Seasider history. We had over 4,000 people show up to watch. I have been helping with consessions. From yelling out sale pitches and screaming for our team I totally woke up sick with a bad sore throat. No fun at all!!!

Here is a picture of my peeps. We sure do love loading up on pizza and ice cream. There is nothing pizza and ice cream can't fix... well maybe not everything. They don't seem to help with my love handles, but heck I figure everyone wants a little love to hold on to... and I got a lot of love. (He He)
