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

There are so many things that make up a person. I know that "things" isn't the right word, but I can't think of something that adequately describes what a person even  would  be made of. Dreams, accomplishments, interests, regrets, mistakes, wishes, relationships, etc. I love ballet. I want to teach ballet, and I want to dance ballet. It's part of who I am. But my heart also yearns for the actress side of me. The little bite of real acting that I got at the age of ten in a production of Babes in Toyland in Salt Lake City. The countless drives to Ogden for rehearsals of Music Man when I was twelve. The ten-hour dress rehearsals of Jana's plays throughout high school. I miss that. My heart yearns for the flute. The peak of my playing my Senior year when I was practicing daily and could play Carnival of Venice like a pro. When I began to see what my practicing had accomplished and considered going on to play in a symphony. I miss French. Learning an entire other ...

Italia

Ciao! We are in Italy! We woke up at four and went to the airport. We cut it close, which means we just didn't have two hours to waste in the terminal;) the flight was so short! Luckily everything with our bags worked out which had been a little worrying since we took EasyJet. We arrived at the Argenti's and almost immediately left to take a train to Venice. Another American family is here staying nearby who are friends so they also came to Venice. It was weird to speak English to someone besides Ruby! Venice was amazing! It's so pretty and colorful. It was very hot and kind of crowded so we didn't stay in touristy parts the whole time. The water is turquoise and the buildings are intricate and charming. It's kind of like Paris but sassy. If that makes sense. We got yummy pizza and gelato. I told the dad my and Ruby 's order for gelato and he thought it was just mine. So I got two scoops! So much ice cream! Italian is so beautiful and basically a combination of...

Christmas Concert

Dance Company did a Christmas performance at Weber State with Ben Lomond, Clearfield, and Freemont. I was in Hot Chocolate (from Polar Express) for the kids' half and then my friend Hayley's dance for the second half. We met at Davis at 6:30 am to drive down to Weber. The roads were slick and a winter blizzard was going strong. Thankfully we all made it safely and started teching. We had run throughs and staging before the kids came. There were a few elementaries that came as a field trip to watch us do the first half. I'm glad they made it even with the snow, it was so fun to perform for them. I would have loved a field trip like that when I was little. Then we ate pizza and then ran the second half and did a dress rehearsal. We had a lot of time for dinner and Emily and I were kind of tired. We ate our dinner and wondered around Weber and talked with everyone. It was so fun! The performance was great. Hayley's dance had deep meaning to her and you could tell throug...
