.kajsia's bridal shower.

.today was my cute future sister-in-laws bridal shower. it was lots of fun. we started the night off with some yummy soup in bread bowls & spinach salad. then we played some awesome games. i didn't win though :( my cousin forgot her prize so maybe i can keep it and pretend i won. then kajsia opened up her gifts she loved them all. and then we finished the night off with some caramel brownies and icecream. thanks kajsia for marrying my brother so we could party.

.here are the cute little girls who attended the party. my niece charley and karley's little girl addie. they asked me to take a picture of them and then they hugged eachother it was so cute.

.i'm home.

.i got home this afternoon. the flight was long and boring but not too bad i ended up on an exit window seat so i had lots of leg room which was really nice. also no one was in the seat next to me and i loved that. after i arrived my mom had to get to work so we grabbed some food at kneaders and i dropped her off at work then i came home and slept for a few hours. showered. and went to pick my mom up. then we went grocery shopping. then everyone got home and we ate and then i was waiting in my room to play games and next thing i know i am waking up at midnight. ughh. the dreaded jet lag. then i got ready for bed and slid in. NEW SHEETS. i think it was a little surprise from my momma. they are silky smooth. ahh. being home is nice. it was fun to hang out with my mom but i still miss hawaii. already.

.now for the post of the day.

.so basically i never imagined how hard it would be to leave college. since i started packing a few days ago i have been feeling it but today was the worst. it started off with selling off some of my things. then i realized i am outta here. although i did make $25! then at church they called me up and gave me a lei and sang aloha oe. it was sad and i got a little teary when everyone came up to give me a hug. i have a lot of awesome friends here that i am going to miss. the hardest part is i will most likely never see most of them again because they are from foreign countries and will return home when they finish up. despite my sadness i am excited to see my family. there are a lot of exciting things coming up like....mike and kajsias wedding. and mel and angies babies. and just being home will be nice.

.graduation pics.

.lets just say i am NOT photogenic. after millions of pictures i am having a hard time picking one that i want to send to everyone. i either close my eyes or do something weird just as the flash is going off. oops.

.my life.

.life is pretty crazy. right now so much is changing for me. it is so weird. some good some bad. on tuesday i presented my action research project. aka senior project. it went pretty well. my professor was pretty impressed so i guess that is all that matters. since then i have been just doing some last minute things before i head home. also trying to get in shape for mike and kajsias wedding. haha. not much time. today i took some time to relax and me and syed went to sunset beach. we walked a little ways down on the road to go to the gas station for drinks and then on the way back we found a little part of sunset where there was no one except the surfers in the water. it was so nice but the waves were so big. i was standing in the water just mid-calf and the waves would come up to my shoulders when they came in. it was so much fun even though the current was too strong to actually swim.
