BYU where?

I am proud to say that I have now attended all three BYUs! BYU Idaho, BYU Provo, and BYU Hawaii. I think it is pretty neat! The great thing is, they are all so different! I have learned so much at each one and have loved them all!

The most fun I have ever had!




I went skydiving!! It was so fun!! Here are a few pics and movie clips so you can share in the fun!

ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT...HEY!






I got the privilege of being a building counselor for EFY here is Laie! It was such an amazing experience! I learned so much from the kids! I was in charge of the musical program and it was fantastic! My kids sang so well! I was so proud of them!! I loved learning and remembering to rely on the Lord this week as I was still in school too and things were very busy. I am so blessed!

Laundry


Things are done a little differently here is Laie, Hawaii. I have to pay to do laundry...so instead I decided that i will now wash all of my clothes in the sink. So far it has worked out nicely. And I am getting in touch with my pioneer roots!

4th of July!


The fourth was great!! Not only was it a day off from school, I didn't even do any homework!! I went to the beach with friends and got buried in the sand. Then we went to turtle bay to watch fireworks. Drea, my roommate, and I explored around the resort while we were waiting for it to get dark. It was beautiful! Before the show a HUGE rainstorm came through. I have never seen if rain so hard before in my life-that is including 18 years of Seattle rain too. So we ran for cover...unfortunately it took me a little longer to get to cover. So needless to say, I was very wet. After the rain stopped, we watched fireworks!! Then we hit up foodland for treats and went to celebreate a friends birthday! We played twister-one of my faves!

Letter...thanks Mom


I got a letter today! It was from Sister Alexander! It was so fun to get a letter here in Hawaii and hear from Becca. She is doing great and is loving her mission. I felt like I was a missionary because I was so excited to get a letter! Other high points from this week include going to the temple, seeing a beautiful sunrise, and making cookies!

Fish

For all of those who know me (and I am mostly speaking to Mom, because she is the only person who reads my blog currently) know that I HATE seafood. But today I became a real women- I ate raw fish. I got the pictures to prove it! Some friends got together and we fired up the grill. We made grilled pineapple, carrots, and corn!
