ALOHA HAWAII part 1

Marukame Udon was our first stop on the island.  My mom is a bit obsessed


Trying new, foreign food in the form of curry noodles and deep fried you name it?? Yes PLEASE

I slept in at the hotel while the rest walked about 4 miles to Leonard's for some sugary goodness. I felt a little like a princess. 






My favorite person to be at beaches with, sitting next to on a plane, scanning passports, getting in fights with, crossing oceans, talking about deep stuff, watching sunsets and laughing with. Gosh I'm going to miss her on my mission. Ruby-we better do one last trip just for old times! ;)  No really look at Skyscanner right now I saw a trip for.....okay just text me



I tried to stop my dad from doing this, but he did it. He bought a pizza box full of nachos for sixteen bucks. It was the kind of nachos we make at home-store bought cheese, canned salsa. We laughed so hard and the "Nacho Incident" was an inside joke and source of teasing for my dad throughout the rest of the trip. 
The Hyatt also offered free classes in lei making, hula and ukulele. Auntie April, the teacher, was a hysterical combination of impatient, sarcastic, curt, nice, talkative, grandmotherly and mean teacherness..... it was highly entertaining. After beginning out the class making fun of us and being rude about the schedule, she said "Now lei making is an act of love and the circle represents the feelings of kindness you feel in making one." I about died. It was so ironically hysterical. 








As some of you may know, Ruby and I are quite the traveling companions. Sometimes we refer to each other as Mary-Kate and Ashley. (I'm Mary-Kate, Ruby's Ashley)  On several occasions we've looked at each other, bewildered, and said "We are so much cooler than Mary-Kate and Ashley." Walking into our resort hotel was one of those moments. We don't need hollywood or flings with boys or a private jet, we're the real Mary-Kate and Ashley! Golda Cristine and Ruby!!





Free and Ari got a brand spankin' new Swatch that are super chic, and took lots of trips to the Swatch store to decide on. I decided to wait until I get my call to buy one

View from our room. Life was goooooooooood.
I look at this and think YAY! 
Spam musubi.  



My mom and her deep love for bacon/avacado spam wrapped in seaweed.
Araceli made this bikini out of a one-piece. I never thought I'd wear a bikini, but I wore it on the first day because it was vintage-y and yellow and I'm 18
Oh look, Marukame Udon again!
I do not know why I look so astonished

Apartment 51

My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temp...

I Was A Stranger

My mom began volunteering at the Asian Association refugee center, called Sunnyvale, when I was still in Orem. She told me all about the kids she worked with, and I wanted to go volunteer with her as soon as I could. She has a gift of really seeing people, so her descriptions of their little personalities, challenges, likes, dislikes, talents, and persona were vivid and true. After the LDS church made powerful statements on aiding, accepting, and loving refugees, my mom got a tidal wave of donations, offers to volunteer, and questions regarding the specific needs of Sunnyvale. Our porch is hardly ever bare of kind and generous donations. It was so neat to see individuals be so service-oriented and charitable. They gave in whatever capacity they could. My mom is good at offering time. Does she have time to run me down to Salt Lake? Yes. Does she have time to stop at every neat-looking rock on a road-trip? Yep. Does she have time to volunteer for three hours five times a week while...

Good bye Nutcracker

Nutcracker is over and I'm sad! It was so much fun and I made great memories. I fell on the last night during the Maid dance which was a bummer. My tray flew off my hand when I fell even with the strap on the bottom. I just pretended it was on purpose and made some hand gestures like I gasped and then walked off. Luckily it was at the end of the dance. I still had Waltz and finale and I wasn't going to let one fall make me sad or not do my best the rest of the time. Strangely afterwords I felt really calm and didn't really care until after party scene. It was kind of funny and I didn't hurt myself. The weird thing was that right before the performance I felt like I was going to trip or fall....and I did. Hahaha, well I'm just the really clumsy maid now :)  Maddie is a pro photo bomber. I just wish she'd bombed one of the bad pictures instead!  My favors for the Waltz gals  Emma being me...haha she'd be a great Maid! :) Love her  Cutie...
