Simply Put. LIFE.





Staring at the blank tiles of the bathroom,
These simple blank slates become my own personal projector screen.
All of the happenings of my days play out.
I contemplate meaning and try and make sense to this point.
For all the living I do in life, nothing really... sticks.
"In one ear and out the other" really takes form.
I always seem to strive for the next best thrill,
But at the rate I burn through my many thrilling adventures,
I'm going to have nothing for the latter part of my life.
It's amazing how living life almost shortens life.
And yet, something intrigues me along this road I'm on,
Hoping and praying that once I hit that point in life,
When adventures are sparse and my body weakens,
I reach the point of self-actualization and life becomes pure...
BLISS.

Holy Guano, batman!

I have been horrible at updating this thing!! Absolutely horrible!
So chronologically I shall address the most recent things first. Saturday night, me and my dear friend McKae were bored after hitting up our friends Paris' super fun party. So what did we do? Naturally, my creativity took wing and we were going to be secret campus ninjas. After midnight, security gets mad if there is anyone on campus that is not en route to the dorms or off campus... technically we met that criteria... Anyway, so we started making our way on to campus around 12:45 AM, starting at the school of education. We then made our way around the school of social work and then on to the stake center. When we were trying to get past the stake center however, we tried to cut across the grass, forgetting that at night it is like marsh... so we had to leave our shoes behind after that point. We dove through bushes, ran behind building (discovering motion sensed flood lights), then we took a potty break, then back to being ninjas. The best part was trying to get across the huge parking lot by our gym which only consists of trees and pavement, we belonged in a cartoon. Security saw us and the truck lit up and so we booked it the rest of the way. BUT THAT WAS NOT THE END! There was a random tractor in the parking lot that we noticed once we got past the outer wall. McKae wanted to go play on it and naturally I was in! But she went to go step over the wall once more and discovered a thorny patch. Me and my naivety said, "ya just gotta jump over it!" and then proceeded to do a pouncing cat move over the wall... into more thorns, landing on all fours. And at that exact moment, two security guards (ON BIKES) rode by and asked, "uh you guys all right?".....yeah.... How is it we managed to avoid security in trucks for an hour, but security on bikes? NO! THey're just sneaky like that.... Epic night of my life.
This photo is me being secret ninja over a wall.


Earlier that day, we had celebrated our friend KallyRae's Birthday by heading to sunset beach. A good day in the sand! And this was the sunset at sunset. :)


A while ago, like September 25th or so, I went to a super fun hot tub party! We got to the "BBQ" part of it and got bored so all of us featured below went to the beach and went night swimming in the ocean! Beautiful!! Then to warm back up we went back to the hot tub and dove in!! The best part about all of this was I walked away with an eye disease! Epic right?! I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Keratitis from a bacteria in the hot tub water... so I for the last 2 weeks I've had to go without contacts, without eye make-up, without going in water (other than showers), and wearing sun glasses everywhere. Between that and the sinus infection I am also fighting off, Paige and I decided someone's got a voodoo doll of me. Probably one of my old high school teacher! I'm on to you.....

The night before the hot tub party, was another fun party night! We first started the night out at a school dance, but then heard of a party at some guys' house in Hau'ula and we migrated over there... in a very small car.... :)


Sometimes I can be so sexy..... hahaha JK! :)


Shortly after getting over here, I set in motion mission obtain a moped... and succeeded!!! I like it a lot! McKae and I named it Kanake and we have been on many adventures! So useful and a good way for me to clear my mind!! I started my wonderful school year, dove right into work, and things are going well so far! 22 credits, 8 classes, and going strong!!

Before coming back to Hawaii I went to go visit Hailey and her family in Washington! Her kids are getting so big! Kimber is up and walking now and I have missed so much of it because I am so far away! It's sad, but I know their mom is obviously doing a good job! They are darling little squirts! :) I love them dearly!



In August, our town was all up in hububs becaue Extreme Makeover Home Edition came to Pocatello. Paige, Ashley, and I got in on some of the fun! I can tell you straight up, you see some strange people come out of the woodwork once something famous comes to town! I'm not so sure we were always the best represented! haha! But I miss these girls lots!!


My summer was kind of slow and boring. One major thing was that I had an adenotonsillectomy at the beginning of August. I took extra precaution that way I for sure would heal fully and properly! The second week of my healing my parents left to go to Nebraska. I was still not talking and Socks our dog died in their absence. It is very hard to tell over the phone what is happening when you can't talk well and you're in hysterics. It was really sad and I still miss that pup lots. So does our cat.
On that happy note....
Just kidding I wouldn't leave you with such a downer!
My life is awesome! I am so blessed to be in such a beautiful place preparing for a marvelous future, that only God knows fully what is in store! I don't think I could ask for a better life! I am me, what more do I have to say to express how much I enjoy life?!
