He Huaka'i Aloha - A Journey of Love & Sacrifice

LUAU!
Add Imagecan I get a Cheeeeehooooo?
It's been exactly a week and I already miss 6:00am practices dearly. [NOT!]
Although, my 12-2 on Saturday was kind of missing something this week.
This may not be the PCC or a tropical island in the south pacific,
but it's as close to that as we can get.
For one night I got to pretend that I was back in Long Beach surrounded by Long Beach 7th ward.

Called Pizza hut: hour and a half wait.
Brick Oven: too expensive

Dominos: (second time) HEAVEN!!!!!p.s. Ignore my face paint it's for the
samoa section of Luau.

would you say I have a plethora of piñatas?



I had a little Three Amigos sort of escapade a couple of weeks ago.
We had a little Fiesta at my apartment that involved Mexican food, laughter, and spongebob?
Cue piñata.
Nothing says party like a piñata with a spongebob paper plate attached to it.
trust.





All of my ♥.

i dream of juicy.

Obsession. juicy couture charm bracelet. Actually, I love all things juicy with the exception of those florescent colored sweatsuits. (gross much?) I'm also obsessed with charm bracelets AND when I found out juicy made some, well I had to get one. Here I am 3 years and 4 charms later. The Juicy website is still my forbidden fruit and I may or may not stalk the website in search for the perfect charm that also has the perfect price attached to it. ALSO, Juicy recently came out with a silver version of my charm bracelet, Christmas needs to come sooner. :] If you're ever feel the need to surprise me, some new charms would be lovely.



uno. bracelet.
dos. the clam aka my favorite charm up to date
tres. the holiday charms.

It's like a quote wall on steroids.


I've decided that mormons are some of the funniest people on the planet.
I've actually been quoted twice on Overheard @ BYU.
If you ever need something to brighten your day, check it out.
laughter guaranteed.

p.s. Ridiculous ways of speaking is kind of becoming a reoccurring theme on the blog, and I like it.

Confessions of a Teenage drama queen, right about something.





pink journal [Friday May 26, 2006 - Wednesday April 8, 2009]
brown journal [Thursday April 09, 2009 - Sunday January 24, 2010]
blue journal [Tuesday January 26, 2010 -...]

This sunday I visited my dear friend from the dorms, Michael Ann McKinlay's ward.
After church we headed to the dorms to pick up her car & I was hit with full-frontal nostalgia.
The cannon center, Taylor Hall, the spot where I would lay out to study on warm days...
I wouldn't call it depressing, more like heart-warming.
I wanted to relive those moments so bad, so I turned to my journals.

I will warn you now and say that this is a PLUG for journaling.
I'm addicted to it.

There's this passage from the book, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen about journaling, something along the lines of, "I don't want to forget more than I already have to" and so Lola, the main character journals every night.
I'm not that consistent, but I'm pretty darn good.
Journals have been coming up a lot lately, in my D&C class, in church, life in general.
I'm working on my fourth complete one right now....
I love being able to read about:
getting into BYU
Prom.
graduation.
first day of college.
leaving home.

here's to the many memories to come.

The Marco Polo Project.


The Marco Polo Project is something that I've been wanting to do for years now, but I just never had the opportunity to do it. However, thanks to a study abroad scheduled for this spring in Merida, Mexico, the Marco Polo Project is green for go.

What is it you may ask?
Well, I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.


Look for it to launch sometime around April 27th.

More details to come soon, but let's just say, "adventure is out there!"
p.s. hint: "six degrees of separation" :]
