2015
-I'm going to be an aunt in AUGUST! So excited & SO full of love for my tiny babe I can't even
believe it sometimes!
-Teaching the days away still...planning to teach at my same school next year
-Met a boy...we'll see where that goes. Either way he's brought a lot of joy & change into my life &
I'll always appreciate that.
Finally...HAWAII 2015
Spring Break I went to Hawaii with Emilee, Sarah, Rebecca, Jake & Jeremy who was there for like 2 days with us. It was so tiring but incredibly amazing! I'll just talk about some highlights :)
Wednesday: We drove to St. George & kept ourselves entertained reading some Harry Potter &
playing 20 questions.
Thursday: Drove to Vegas to catch a flight to Honolulu. Realized I'd forgotten socks & had to stop at
Walmart. Had a crazy long flight to Honolulu. Arrived exhausted but so excited to be in our
1 bedroom, 1 bathroom condo that was only like 2 blocks from Waikiki Beach!
Friday: Beach time for obvious reasons. It was MUCH needed. Decided to go parasailing & it truly
is one of the MOST amazing things I've ever done! Delicious meal at a place called Surf N Turf
tacos & then endured an incredibly memorable mud hike to Maunawili falls. I'm talking a hike
that was SO muddy, you can never truly understand unless you were there. Mud for days,
Jeremy losing a shoe, getting lost, jumping off into a pool by a waterfall, rinsing shoes off at
the beach & walking through the FANCIEST mall in Honolulu looking like a bunch of beach
bum rednecks in towels, bare feet, messy hair etc. Easily one of my favorite days of my life.
Saturday: Nothing like a 6am Snorkel at Haunama Bay. Hit my knee on some coral, had some Acai
bowls, went to the market for souvenirs & got myself a drink in a coconut! More beach time of
course and traveled to have the most delightful dinner at Halawei Joes a tropical paradise of a
restaurant. (Looks like Jurassic Park come to life all around this island though )
Sunday: Diamond Head hike nice & early in the morning as well as getting Easter treats as we went
on to spend 6 yes that's right 6 hours at Pearl Harbor. It was so fascinating, exhausting and
something I'm so happy I can say I've seen. Dinner at Bob's burgers & home to relax for our
next adventure.
Monday: Morning hike to Manoa Falls (some of Jurassic park was actually filmed here) & off to an
afternoon seeing the Laie Temple, Polynesian cultural center, going to a luau and seeing HA the
show at the PCC. Oh & dream come true #2- DRANK FROM A PINEAPPLE IN HAWAII :)
Tuesday: Drove to take Jake skydiving...too cloudy so we waited for like 2 1/2 hours (super boring)
waiting for a sky that never cleared. The girls took off & found a rare Hawaiian Monk seal
chillin on a beach (beautiful), went to snorkel, had Sea Turtles swim all around us at Laniakea
beach, kayaked down a river, ate some shaved ice (Matsumotos), quick dinner & headed back
to clean and pack up since we left on Wed. All in all it was an insane trip, fun, tiring, and
memorable!
Coming up next? End of year testing...baby shower for Jen, Mom moving back from Seattle, Summer Camp starting and much more....
