Hawaii, How I LOVE You!

Hawaii has been AMAZING lately, I have way too much to talk about but not enough time to do so, so I'll give ya a watered-down version of my happenings within the past month or so...

Halloween:
We went to a Halloween Dance on the Friday before Halloween. Shaniel McCary and her family were in town visiting so she came and chilled with us for a bit. It was way fun to see familiar faces from home!

That next day Kara, Taylor, Stephanie and I went down to Waikiki with Nathan, Brigham, and Cameron for the weekend. It was seriously the BOMBEST weekend EVER! We went to a UofH Football Game (where we totally dominated against the Idaho Vandals) and we walked down the strip where everyone was dressed up in costumes and they all take pictures with each other.

 In November, Kara came with me to a work party. It was super fun, we were Team Yellow and totally DOMINATED with team pride. =) I <3 my job. 




For Thanksgiving our wards all had yummy dinners together, I went to mine and then hopped right over to Kara and Steph's ward.

After our Thanksgiving dinners,  Stephanie and I jetted out to Waikiki again. Man, it was the Bombest weekend too. I <3 Waikiki! We got a hotel somewhat close to the strip and crammed 11 people into our tiny room the first night and 13 the next. It was SO much FUN! We went Black Friday Shopping, Chilled by the pool, Went out to Dinner and Clubbing. 

Over Thanksgiving weekend my friend Carter (he's from Kennewick but we met here) had some friends, Briana and Spencer, from back home come visit for a few days. Briana stayed with me, she is the darlingest girl EVER! I feel like we've been friends forever! So I spent lots of time with them, goin to the Swap Meet, Pearl Harbor, Foodville, Surfin, etc. It was so much fun.

Somewhere in between my work party and Waikiki Round two I hiked Stairway to Heaven with Asa, Sam, and their friend from Sweden (I believe) it was probably the hardest thing I've ever done in my life but seeing this view made it all worth it:

We hiked it in an hour and 19 min. I was so proud =D

Also in the end of November Pres. Monson came to Hawaii for the Laie Temple Dedication, it was the best experience ever to see him! We got to see him at the Night Show and then after the dedication Kara and I decided to have a photo shoot on temple grounds and we just happened to be there when he walked out. I was close enough to touch, what an amazing man. You can feel a special spirit just by being near him. 

The next thing I know it was December, and the semester's almost over. Fabio asked me to Fall Ball and we had a BLAST! It was held at Sunset Ranch this semester, they had pavillions decorated Arabian themed with chinese lanterns. The food was amazing and they had a live band for a bit that made it feel like a wedding. =) It was great. I had such a great time with Mr. Faubs.

And those are my adventures thus far in dear ol Hawaii

Control

I thought I was in control
I thought I was calling the shots

If so
Why do I feel like crap
Like I mean nothing...
Someone forgettable

I want to be special
The one you can't live without
The one you can't stop thinking about

The one.

My Name Is Khan... and I am not a terrorist

You HAVE to see this movie!

I watched it last night with Kara, KallyRae and Li.
It's amazing and so thought provoking, racial discrimination is a horrible thing. I think that by being aware of what's going on in our country we are more able to put an end to having hatred for those who are not like us.

There are only two types of people in this world, those who do good deeds and those who do bad. There is no other difference.

Dear Homework

No matter how long I sit in front of the computer trying to get you done...

I only end up watching this:

Oh music videos, how I'm obsessed with you!

...and you say we're confusing

     The other day a friend of mine popped up on my facebook chat as I was sitting in the living room that my roomie currently inhabits due to less airflow through our room. Anyways my facebook chat friend is very favored of myself, meaning... i have a huge crush on him. I promptly exclaimed my feelings out loud stating "Oh it's so-n-so... I like him!" Where then my roomie proceeded to ask if I liked multiple guys at one time.
     The statement got me thinking... well yeah I do and is there anything wrong with that? Psh, no! Boys are dumb, yet we love them. As we all know, there are certain people we are attracted to and certain people we are not. Can't explain why, but it happens. My theory is; if I'm attracted to someone I'll do my best to catch their eye but if I get the feeling that they don't feel the same way I'm all for moving on to the next guy. Yeah, maybe that might make me come across as playerish or impatient but I'm not going to put my heart on the line for some boy who can't make up his mind.
     So I guess my point is, I kinda wish you guys would just tell us straight out if you like us. Or ask us out on frickin dates ;) That would be nice. Or if you're not feelin it, quit playin with our hearts so we can move on and find someone better. ...Thanks.

Hey check out my new blog!

I love taking pictures so I decided to start learning about taking them correctly. I joined the Focus Film and Photo club at school where we all just learn from each other, but our instructor also suggested we try the 365 day challenge: take a picture each day for a year and see how much you've improved. So that's what I'm doing. Feel free to follow and comment! =)

Smoke & Drive - Mike Posner

I find this song so seductive

Makes me want to buy a stogie and go on a roadtrip.

... kidding, that's nasty, but I do love this song.
