Day 89-97: A week off of work

I'm sitting here watching the (hopefully final) basketball game! (Go warriors!!) I figured I would keep y'all up with my life while there are commercials! In case you don't know... I hate Lebron. Okay okay not the point! Well X has been with his dad for the last week, so I have had a week to myself... the only bad thing is Kawika has been working!! So I have literally had a lot of time to myself! I have been cleaning my house, rearranged my room, set up a mini theater room with my projector in my room! 

Kawikas little brother (E), Xavier, Kawika and I all went to Wet n wild! I seriously love water parks! 

I went and got my nails done with Wikas mom and then we were at the pool almost all day where I met some really amazing Women. We also went to a baptism/birthday party for a cousin!  

 We have also gone to the beach these last couple days! And of course church... we can't forget about church it was even stake conference!  After church we went to one of Kawikas Aunties and Uncles for lunch they were really nice down to earth people! I still can't believe that this is my life haha someone pinch me I'm dreaming! Everyone keeps asking when I'm coming back... mamma knows... it's not gunna be for a while if at all! After lunch yesterday Kawika and I went camping with our friends Pono and Jazz we went to this beach called Sandys! Waking up to the beach is probably my favorite thing ever! Plus the sunsets and sunrises are beautiful! I went on a run this morning and did some work outs on the beach! I have just been home all day catching up on my sleep and Netflix! Tonight for dinner I'm making spinach artichoke dip stuffed chicken!! I'm pumped!! 

Xoxo Sammy Jo!  

Day 88: wedding

No people it's not my wedding 😉 Kawikas cousin got married and it was such a cool wedding and reception! Wika introduced me to all of this family, but I only remember maybe 5 names hahaha! I'm terrible with names, plus it doesn't help that there is so many! It was a beautiful wedding, and it showed me some of the culture that I don't get to see everyday they did this line where people come put money on the bride or groom and they have to take it off with their teeth! It's super funny! People were putting it in their toes, ears, pretty much everywhere! I have never gone to a wedding in jeans, so that was cool! They had a band after and everyone was dancing! 

Hey have I mentioned I love it out here? Kawika got a new phone, so I'm sure y'all will be seeing lots of pictures like this hahaha

(Backup) Day 87: Wet n Wild

X and I loaded up all our stuff and started to head to Wet n wild! We have season passes, so we will be there a lot this summer! We picked up Kawika on the way, and his little brothers were gunna come, but some stuff came up. So is 3 headed to the water park! Xavier is scared of like everything, but I bribed him to try one of the tube rides! He has mixed feeling about it! Haha after the water park we went and cleaned up and picked up Kawikas little brother. We went to Ninja Which is a sushi place (yes everyone I am trying lots and lots of new stuff out here! I tried poi yesterday, and some type of fish bowl that Kawika got) then us 5 went to Wonder Woman! That movie... was awesome! Makes me wanna go do some kickboxing classes or something haha! It was a long day, so after I just came home and tried to sleep (didn't work very well)

Days 60-86: I gotta be better at this

I don't know why I have been terrible at posting on here lately! But I'll be better okay? Gosh I don't even know what to say because I feel like so much has happened, but I don't want this post to be a million miles long. 

I guess I'll start with telling y'all about our little church activity! So about 20 of us all went surfing/BBQ well I was on the phone and saw someone go into the rocks, so I ran over there like I was in bay watch (minus the red swimsuit) and helped him out. I had to pull rocks out of his skin and scrub him with my NEW lava lava! Kawika and I ended up taking him to the hospital and were there for a little less than 4 hours, and it was a BLAST! Everyone was cracking jokes, laughing, it was just a party haha! Plus I was in my swim suit and my towel the whole time haha welcome to Hawaii! 

 I even had to give a talk in church the next day, so I better be getting some good karma or something! 

Umm boy wise... Alden wanted to be an idiot so I broke up with him... that's pretty much all y'all need to know about that situation. 

I have been hanging out with a local boy named Kawika (the w makes a v sound) we have been on so many fun adventures! We went to some water falls, the beach, surfing, and this really pretty floating lanterns thing they do every year! Next year we might volunteer to be the ones on the surf boards and stuff who get the lanterns out of the water! https://vimeo.com/219890460   Xavier is out of school so yesterday we were at the Buddhist temple all day feeding fish and looking around. I pet some turtles and fish. Almost went for the swan, but my best friend carrot almost died trying to do something like that a couple years back! Haha 

Wiks and I had a pirates of the Caribbean marathon... and saw the new one... it was sooo good! I'm slowly getting my room together! I went and played volleyball at the church, and some of those people are good! The boys can hit hard! Haha it was a little scary at some points haha but I held my own! I'm so sore though haha! Well I don't really have anything else to say, except yes people I am still loving it out here, more than before! Sorry mom! (She thinks I'm never coming home) I love you all so much!

Oh p.s. Make sure everyone tells my mamma happy birthday! 

Day 51-59: so much has happened

Well as the title says, I have done so much in these last couple days! I went to sea life park first off, and it was so fun! The dolphins were my favorite part of course! I am thinking about doing a internship there when Xavier goes back to school next year! They had really good shows too, they had dolphin shows, seals, Penguins, and all the good stuff! I would highly recommend going if you haven't gone! It was so hot that day so when I was done there I went over and got a snow cone! 

The next day was beautiful weather also, so I went down to sammys beach and hung out for a couple hours... and when I say hung out I mean I fell asleep on the beach, so right now the tan lines I am having are real! 

I have been teaching Xavier how to play baseball I haven't had the chance to go buy a glove or a T yet, but it's on the list of things to do. I took some pvc pipe and made a T with it and he was potential to be really good at everything, he is very athletic it's just no one has ever taught him sports! I'm not too mad because I love sports, so if he turns out to be some professional baseball player then he gives me all the credit right? FREE MLB GAMES!! 

Well off to some bad news that happened... we ordered pizza the other night and I was going to go get it and stop at safe way for ice cream... well when I got back into my car... wouldn't start! So I got a new battery and it still wouldn't work! Well we left it over night and called a tow truck and he literally came and just dusted off some wires and it started right up how dumb huh?! I'm just glad I only had to pay like $100 for the battery instead of like $500 for something else! Melisa took the day off work so we went for a long walk on the beach, and then lunch at this Japanese place where you literally sit on the floor! It was way cool! You picked your soup base then they just brought you a whole bunch of stuff to put in it! Sausage, veggies, tofu, beef, just a whole lot of stuff! It was pretty good! 

I went and tried out two different surf boards, and of course I was out surfing until my arms literally couldn't even paddle anymore! Plus once the tide came in then the waves flattened out! It was still wayyy fun! We were there for like 3 hours! When I came home I was soooo tired but I couldn't sleep! Then that same day My church put on a cinco de mayo dance, so I went... it was kinda crazy! I guess like 5 wards were invited so there was a LOT of people there! I didn't dance much because... well I'm white and all the Polys could dance and I wasn't about to be shown up by them! I hung around a group of guys pretty much all night and ate otter pops! We didn't leave until close to about 1 then we decided to go to zippys which is like a restaurant so I didn't get home until like 2:30. I had to get up at 8 to go pick up a surfboard I just bought! Yayyy! I bought my first one, but I have to wait a little to use it! The wire in my chest is a little sore from surfing for so long so I have to wait until it feels better! I have been thinking about putting something super soft on my board so when I lay down the wire doesn't it the board, so if y'all have any ideas just let me know okay? So today when I got home from picking up my board I was soooo tired I took the best nap ever!! Plus I'm pretty sure I'm getting sick so I'm tired anyways! 

Before I go to bed, just wanted to brag about my hot boyfriend for a second!! Homeboy killed it at the ropin this weekend, and brought home the big bucks! Okay my brag is over now!

Day 50: two days in a row?!

Well this morning started off like every morning and taking Xavier to school but after one of my friends from church wanted to come over to the beach with me. We got to the beach around 8 in the morning, we had some breakfast, played some volleyball, and swam a little. He was only there until about 9:30 then he had to leave to go on a hike. I stayed at MY beach until about 11... the weather was wayyy too nice to not stay! It was a good thing that I left though because I went to sleep once I got home and cleaned up, well when I woke up... my chest and my face were RED! I looked like a lobster! Once I woke up I started to clean the house and cleaned out the fridge. Then I went and got my nails done. It was pouring outside, and of course the day I look like a lobster I was seeing the most people! I had to go get power steering fluid, and go get dinner! Once I came home I ate and watched some Empire until I went to bed!

Day 49: beach day!

Well today started off like every other school day! Except the pharmacy was having problems with my prescriptions so I couldn't get my medication, so I decided it probably wasn't the best idea to go run, and swim and all the other fun stuff I'm not "allowed" to do. Mom made a comment to me of "you know your heart is triggered by over emotions, so just be happy today! Easy some ice cream and talk to Alden" and Alden told me I had to take it easy all day! Wow I love being told what to do! (Sarcasm) so I have been catching up on empire today!! ITS SO GOOD! When I went and picked Xavier up from school I told him we were going to the beach, but for some reason he didn't think it was gunna be fun, so it was kinda a fight to get him into a swim suit! But he always does this and we always have fun!        And since I'm the best nanny ever of course we stopped and got a shaved ice, but I made Xavier believe it was his awesome idea! After the shaved ice we were FREEZING so all the way home we had the heater blasting IN HAWAII! Haha I know I know! I'm a baby! 

Earlier today my mom FaceTimed me and it was Remi! My mom thinks it's so funny to put the pictures on your face so Remi had some today! 

  How did I get such a cute family? Haha hashtag blessed! Melisas brother is in town, so Xavier and her went over to visit him. I'm just watching empire in my room. Tonight is a termite night so I gotta keep all the lights off! Sadly the beach wore me out so I could easily go to bed right now!

Days 40-48: I suck at this

I feel like I was doing pretty good on posting about everyday, but now that I'm doing more I just honestly forget! So let's hope I can remember enough to make this post decently long! I guess I can start off of telling y'all what I'm currently doing right now... I'm at one of my favorite restaurants gyu kaku!   t's the one where you cook your food! They have these BOMB gyozas and smoked pork tacos so when I crave them I have to come... even if I'm alone! I really actually don't mind eating alone anymore! It's actually kinda nice! Okay so last week the weather was terrible! All around the island! Just poured all day and night!  So there wasn't much that I did besides watched new girl and cleaned the house... yes mom I clean! So last Saturday a friend and I named Denny went to Waikiki and watched a little of a sand tournament that went on! We got volleyball hungry so we went down to a park and the locals asked me to play with them to just fill a spot! After they could tell I have actually played everyone wanted me on their teams! I ended up playing volleyball for at least 37 hours! That's what my body felt like that next morning at least! Getting up for church was ROUGH! I only went for one hour because I couldn't sit still! I came home and we did some yard work and Xavier and I had a water fight! I won of course... on Monday the weather was better so after I dropped Xavier off at school I went to the beach. Did I already tell y'all that I have started working out in the mornings when the weather is alright at the beach? It's pretty nice because since I don't sleep at night when I come home after I shower I PASS out!   Monday night was family home evening so I went and we made some craft flower things for the cinco de mayo dance... yeah I threw mine away! It looked terrible! We all just hung out and had dinner after that! I'm starting to talk to more and more people, but most importantly... remember their names hahah but for real though! Somehow my heart got brought up, so I was talking to a couple people SO late. I finally left around 10:30! And I still had close to an hour drive home! So I got home pretty late last night so this morning was so hard to get up and get Xavier ready! Plus I woke up with a headache so that didn't help! Instead of working out I went home and took a nap! Then after that I went to the beach and worked out... it was clear skies when I left my house, but when I got there is was pouring!! And of course this is the ONE time I don't bring extra clothes! So my shirt got soaked! So when I had to go pick up X my shirt was still wet! Oh whale! https://vimeo.com/214797486
 Now that everyone is caught up with my life I can leave dinner! I gotta go pick up my prescriptions and then head home! I love and miss you all! 

Xoxo Sammy Jo! 

P.s. Shout out to my homeboy Aldie for KILLIN his finals!!! 

Day 39: Happy Easter

Well today was a pretty simple yet rewarding Easter for me! I slept in... which is no surprise considering I do it everyday, so I woke up and started getting ready for church! I drove my 40 minutes to my church which was pretty good! I'm starting to meet more people and everyone is super nice and friendly! The second counselor invited me over to his house after church for dinner, which was very nice, but I had already planned on going to the temple to spend my Easter Sunday! I stopped at this place that had about 15 food trucks up and going so I got a chicken cheesesteak sandwich! It was BOMB! After I left and drove an hour and 15 minutes to the temple! I spent 3 hours there today just walking about and looking at how beautiful it was! It even started pouring rain and I still just sat on the bench not caring if I got wet or cold! One of the sister missionaries walked over to me and I knew who she was! Her and I went to high school together and it was my roommates really good friend! It was pretty cool! I finally left once I was FREEZING and soaking wet! It takes me about 40 minutes to get home, once I got home I grabbed my ice cream and played with Xavier for a little before hitting the hay! Xoxo Sammy jo!   

Day 38: Lamest day... ever

Sooo I have been in a bad mood all day... all because of a stupid terrible pain in my eye! Mom thinks its a sinus infection... but all I know is it better not be here tomorrow! I spent all day talking to Alden while he drove to Vegas for Easter, so it wasnt a terrible day, but he definitely saw a different side to me then before HAHAH bless his soul for sticking with me! Later on I went to the store and it was PACKED so it took me like 8 years to get out of there, and again im going to preach not to go to the store when you are hungry... I dont know why I do this to myself! Well... it makes me happy... all the Oreos... ice cream... oh and they were having a sale on soda... buy 2 get 3 free! Of the 12 packs of soda so that was a win for Sammy! When I got home Melisa and I watched the Fantastic Beast movie! and now im about to make myself some burritos and eat some Oreos and go to bed! P.s. If y'all haven't heard already... Hawaii is gunna get bombed by North Korea... so I love you all and I'll see you in Heaven!! Just kidding! Grandma please don't freak out! But for real... the start has issued warnings and stuff like that! When I was talking to my parents about it this morning Dave said this... " if you see an orange light in the sky put your head between your legs" I'm thinking yeah okay... they tell us to do this on airplanes and so he is probably right! Then he says... "AND KISS YOUR SORRY BUTT GOODBYE" I have never laughed so hard at one of his jokes! It made me laugh sooo hard!! 
XOXO Sammy Jo

Day 37: girls day

Today Melisa and I worked on our counter tops, we are building new ones! When I say we I really just mean she does everything, but I help with lifting the suuuuper heavy stuff! They are starting to look really good! we got everything cut and painted now just waiting for the clear coat to set. We went for a walk during a break and picked some papaya. I honestly dont think I have ever had papayas so it will be interesting to try one! When we got everything done we decided to go to the mall and get our toes done and get some dinner! We were gunna get our toes done first, but they were SWAMPED so we just went to dinner instead. We went to Gyu- Kaku which is the Japanese steak house that you cook your own food! It is one of my favorite places here, I have tried a lot of stuff and have LOVED it all! So once we got done with dinner we went and got our toes done... Did I tell yall that I stubbed my toe REALLY bad? well its all bruised so they were being all weird about it and asked what happened or if it was always this way ahah! And she even painted up top to make me feel better because the top half of the nail is missing! Shout out to the Asians for makin my toe feel great! When I got home Alden and I talked for a while on the phone! Let me tell ya... Long distance relationships... hard... long distance relationships with a 4 hour time difference... FREAKING NUTS! He stayed up pretty late to talk to me since tomorrow is a Saturday, so that was sweet of him! Once he went to bed Melisa and I went and cracked open a nice... cold... pint.... of ice cream! Me eating ice cream is an almost everyday thing... So if next time you see me im about 100 lbs heaver... yall know why! But hey... im happy as can be eating that ice cream!

Day 27-Day 36 Lets catch up shall we?

I know I haven't posted in so long and I'm sorry!! I would say I'm just so busy or something along those lines to make you feel better, but in reality I just forgot! I was fighting a nasty cold for part of this so I slept A LOT!

I will try and remember in order what I did which day and of course I'll post pictures!! Well if y'all follow me on social media you see this picture! 

 I think it's one of my favorites since I have been out here! Clearly I went to the beach to relax, but as soon as we got there I saw I sign about a shark being spotted earlier that day! It was an 11 footer! I still got in anyways. I figured I look too skinny he would go for a lot of different people before coming to me! 

Xavier and I have started a new game I don't even know what to call it, but pretty much we go through the trees and look for zombies with out nerf guns haha he takes it so serious it's so cute!! https://vimeo.com/213264288

I went to the beach again this one is called pyramid rock, it's on base, but I was just walkin doin my thing when I almost walked into a HUGE monk seal 

 He was HUGE nothing like what they look like on animal planet! I brought my camera today so I got some videos in the water, but it was so fun because the waves were pretty big so you have to duck dive under them or else you die... there was one wave that got me GOOD, but something about me is even if I break a bone in the ocean I am still laughing!! Last year when we were here as a family I got all competitive on who could catch the biggest wave, so I got on top and the wave was so big there was no waver under me it was just sand and the wave crashed and dropped me and I scorpioned and was convinced my neck was messed up! Mom even saw it and ran over to me! But I got up just laughin... couldn't move my body but I was laughing!!  This is Blue!

This last Sunday I went to church... well I didn't know that there was a million things planned that day, so I was there for 7 hours!! I did the whole church thing, then there was a linger longer, then a fireside, and more linger longer. The fireside was AMAZING a choir called come unto Zion came and they told stories of how they found the church and stuff like that it was sooooo good! I cried the whole two hours! 

I went to this place called the valley of the temples, well it first starts as a cemetery, but each section of the cemetery has a place for a different religion! I though that was way cool because you could see the difference between them all! The Buddhist temple was so beautiful and peaceful! https://vimeo.com/213265897 I'm sure people go in and out in 30 minutes but I was there for 2 hours! It was just incredible! 

I got a great surprise in the mail today! Mamma sent me an Easter package full of candy! Isn't she just the best? I know I know y'all are jealous, but Judy is all mine... well and the 12 other kids'! I also made dinner and took it to the beach and then just walked the beach looking for sea shells! I left at the perfect time because as soon as I got into my car it started RAINING!! When I got home there was a river in the road that leads to my house! I love the rain though so I just listened to it all night!! 

Well I will try and keep on top of this again hahah but no promises!! I love and miss you all so much!!

Xoxo Sammy Jo

 

Day 26: sandys beach

So today after I got ready I went to the beach called Sandys. Or as the locals call it "broke next bitch" (sorry mom) the waves were HUGE! So I didn't even dare get in... I knew I would do something stupid to try and show off to everyone and then I would be the BNB! But I met some friends there and got their numbers so finally I'm making friends haha! I met a girl named Piper and it was funny because we were both just hanging out and these guys came up to her and said "we are on vacation can we take a picture with you?" She points to me and says ummm "she's hotter" hahaha what a brat. They knew I wasn't having it so they went to the next girl and asked the same thing and she fell for it!! They wouldn't leave her alone after that haha so piper and I were just dying laughing and started talking about how stupid they were! After the beach I went over to Andrews and Andys house... homeboy has pet ducks!! It was awesome! We were feeding them it was so cute!  Then we watched north shore which is actually a really good movie! Andrew is gunna teach me how to surf! He fell asleep during the movie so when it was over I just snuck out haha so finally I'm making friends haha! 

Xoxo Sammy Jo! 

P.s. Dodgers kicked butt today! So there is something to be happy about! Oh but UNC won... Alden and I were rooting against each other, and he won... I never lose!! https://vimeo.com/211562221

Day 25: Sunday Funday

Well today started off with general conference! This was my favorite talk from it, if you haven't heard it go listen now!! https://www.facebook.com/LDSGeneralConference/posts/10155141131841499

Well after conference Melisa and I took the boards out and paddle boarded to chinamans island! Well then I hiked it... with no shoes on haha but it was beautiful hahah! 

https://vimeo.com/211554503

Day 24: April fools

Today is Taylors birthday so happy birthday Tay hahah! Today I drove into a town about an hour away to get some dinner at Sakura! Well I called it in and the guy was telling me that I couldn't have noodles if I was taking it to go then his manager said something along the lines of "I have no idea why he said something like that we can do noodles with take out" gotta love people huh? So after I got home I watched a movie

And ate all my food in peace!

Day 23: NEWS

Well normal school day, woke up and took Xavier to school then was about to get ready for a hike when I got good and bad news... which one y'all want first? Good? Okay!  Shout out to my boss ass sister who is doing very well and her tumor hasn't grown in 3 months!! She is amazing and I have no idea how she does everything with a smile on her face!!

Well onto the bad news ... I don't know if I'm even supposed to tell people, but no one told me not to so... Courtney's lab results came back and he has tested positive for Long QT... so today has been a hard day for me and I haven't even gotten out of bed and it's 10 pm here. Now Remi has to get tested and if she has it I'm gunna feel sooo bad!! I understand it's not my fault, but my brain processes everything differently!! I feel like it's like the flu and I gave it to him. I know logically that's not how it is, but that's how I feel! So today has been very emotional for me! Alden has been so sweet and comforting to me all day so that was helpful! I even got to talk to taylor and tanner! They were hounding me about Alden and my mom was saying that he is her favorite so that's good!!(: haha I screenshotted a picture of him and he looks SOO handsome! Well now tonight Melisa brought me ice cream and we are eating it and watching a movie!! 

Xoxo Sammy Jo! 

 

Day 22: Last day with Xavier

Well today was my last normal day with Xavier so I got up and got him ready for school and dropped him off! I was going to go on a hike but I fell back asleep and by the time I would have got there I would have had to turn back not too Long after and I didn't wanna risk the traffic and be late to pick up Xavier! So I went and picked him up and then we went and got snow cones! Well then we took the best things in the world to the beach and ate them there! It was PERFECT! I was all dressed up in my summer dress so of course I had to take some pictures haha! I decided I'm the smartest person ever! First off I just keep an extra swim suit, towel and shoes in the back of my car for Xavier and I so we can just go whenever! But secondly there is this like water can kinda like a gas can so I just keep that in my car filled with water so if we go to a beach with no shower we have our own little shower!! It's actually really convienent!! So yeah! Xavier goes with his dad tomorrow morning so I told him we could go to BDUBS since it's one of his favorites! Plus it was wing Thursday! After dinner I came home and FaceTimed my handsome lover boy until he had to go to bed! So I went to sleep soon after! 

Xoxo Sammy Jo! 

Day 21: ummm

Okay to be honest... I really don't even remember what I did today.... so that's lame maybe I shouldn't wake for a couple days to pass to update my blog... so sorry! 

Xoxo Sammy Jo! 

Day 20: End of Spring Break

Well today was Xavier's day back at school! So I had to get up early and take him to school! Then since he hasn't seen his grandma for a while she wanted to see him so I literally just took him to school then had the rest of the day off so I literally packed a lunch and went to the beach! It was so nice and peaceful I just laid down and listened to music all day! Except one thing that was nasty... some homeboy was walking around the beach in like a thong and he was just walking back and forth so I saw his whole butt like a million times! Gross! But hey at least there weren't any tan lines hahaha so I got in the water right before I was getting ready to leave and then all these fish started jumping... and for those who don't know... I'm terrified of fish! Not sharks or rays or anything, just fish! When I was little and in the lake or anything I would kick my feet so fast so they couldn't get my toes! I told my mom I had a secret mission for her, but she FAILED! Alden went over there for dinner and I told her to take a picture of him because he was looking SO HANDSOME! She got nervous and couldn't do it! Hahaha I know what a baby! I thought she was CIA material! Guess not! Today Xavier and I had a little disagreement. He was very tired all day and I could tell, well we were going to Ross to look for a baseball glove so I can teach him how to plsy baseball, well he wanted a different toy but I told him no! Wait first off I had to wake him up and he doesn't fall asleep in the car so you know he is tired! So he threw s FIT in the store so I told him we weren't getting anything and the whole reason we went over there was for ice cream! Well I got my ice cream... he didn't! And he was MAD at me! Well after we got home and stuff we went for a walk and it was so cute when we were walking he stopped and randomly said "I'm sorry for how I acted in the store Sammy" so we had a nice little chat! But I was VERY impressed that he did that! I talked to the neighbor for probably and hour outside! He is very nice! After that I went inside and made dinner then went to bed! 

Xoxo Sammy Jo! 

Day 19: exhausted

Well today there isn't really much to tell at all haha I think from the hike two days ago and the beach all day yesterday I was just DEAD! It was Melisas day off so we did some work around the house and I did my laundry, but I took like 37 different naps that day! Then I went for a run... I mean walk... (sorry mom) and went to the store then came home and watched a movie and ate ice cream and that was literally my day!! 

Xoxo Sammy Jo 

Day 18: BEACH

Well today Xavier and I decided that we wanted to go to the beach, so we packed our snacks, water sunscreen, beach stuff, and headed to the mall to get lunch to take there. Well after all that I had to pick up my medication but it wasn't ready yet! It had taken them 3 days to get it "ready" this is why I have anger issues because of STUPID people! Any ways so we went to the park in Kualoa because there is a big grass friend then it drops off into the beach, well it was really nice until I got into the water! I didn't realize that after your shins it was all just rocks! I was not about that so we loaded our stuff and went to a different beach! This one is in Kaaawa! It's my favorite because it's right off the road and not many people go there at all! It's more of a locals spot! Xavier is so funny because he is like me if he gets crushed by a wave he just laughs!! Well he will tell anyone that asks that he almost died and I think it's so funny! So I got tripped by a wave right? Well then it kinda took him back and the next wave was about to his neck so he thought he was drowning and he is just yelling for me! Then as soon as I got him to land he started laughing haha! We also found lots of crabs in the sand we would have to dig them up but they were cute! After that we just came home and hung out because we were both so tired and Melisa didn't get home until about 11 so we just laid on my bed and watched movies!

Day 17: Diamond Head

Today I went on a hike to diamond head! It was so beautiful! I have really loved hiking and seeing the island! Funny story! I was just taking to some random like 45 year old guy! Just having a normal conversation then he asked me if I wanted to go to dinner before he goes back to LA I said I was busy and he left hahaha WELL THEN I was FaceTimeing carrot and I saw him again... I was pretending to be on the phone well I was but I needed to make it more obvious! I heard my name... I ignored it... and he said it again! So I said yes? He asked if we could go out for drinks later on in the night when I get off work and if he gave up too easy. I said I never know when I get off work so it wouldn't work! Then he asked... "well are you even interested?" IM 21 YEARS OLD!! DID HE REALLY THINK I WOULD BE INTERESTED?! I said no hahaha it was sooo awkward! And carrot was just DYING on the phone laughing so hard! Haha here is a video from today! https://vimeo.com/210100829

Well all day it was raining so Xavier and I just stayed inside all day and watched movies. He was expecting to have his grandma come get him, but she never came and he got super sad. I felt so bad! Then he had an allergic reaction to something so I gave him some Benadryl! That was pretty much my whole day! All the semi interesting things haha I did little stuff like set up car insurance and stuff! So yup!

Well this week is Xavier's spring break so I had him all day! And after he gets pack from his dad's she keeps him home since his dad doesn't give him a bedtime or anything! Homeboy was sooo tired! He thought I was the worse person in the world because I was sorting all the dvds and made him help in order to get some brownie! Well then he took a 3 hour nap! So I just worked on all the movies! We watched a bunch of movies!!  

Day 13: a day with Melisas mom

Well melisas mom had to go to this sewing shop to get her machine fixed and her husband doesn't like to go with her and she can't lift this sewing machines by herself since she is sick, so she called at 9 this morning and asked if I wanted to come help her! Of course I said yes just because it's a nice thing to do, but then Melisa told me she would pay me for it too so I wasn't too mad! We spent 3 hours at this sewing place! I was trying so hard to not fall asleep in the chair I was in Hahahah it was ROUGH! Then we went to lunch after and I tried something new and it was pretty good haha! Once I came home I took a nap since I was going on 1 hour of sleep! I took a 3 hour nap then got up and cleaned the fridge!! Like CLEANED the fridge! Then Melisa and I went to dinner at that place where you cook your own food! She got all this crazy stuff so I tried everything! And it was way good!  All of it was so good! They had these smoked pork tacos that were to die for! Then we came home and just went to bed haha

Day 12: Makapuu Lighthouse Trail

Today I decided that I wanted to go on a hike! So I looked some up and I decided to drive about 45 minutes to this BEAUTIFUL place where the water was like turquoise! It was amazing!!! So I got out and did this little hike. Well it wasn't even a hike it was a paved trail! But it was all uphill so it was a breather haha! It's so amazing here and I don't mean to brag, but I am so happy here it's at the point where I smile and wave to strangers I say hi to everyone! And I feel like I always have a smile on my face! I had some nice long talks with about 5 older ladies while we were looking for whales! I saw two whales there was a mamma and a baby! They were so cute! I had lunch on this wrong and met some French guy named Tebo! He was very nice he offered to take my picture so it was nice because now I have one picture that isn't a selfie haha! I was going to try and put together a movie, but for some reason my computer isn't pulling up the program that I used so I don't know what to do. I tried other ones but they wouldn't work! So I'm trying to figure something out! Now I'm just laying in bed watching friends about to go to bed! https://vimeo.com/209344406

Oh I forgot to tell y'all something so this guy was trying to merge over into my lane and of course I'm just happy cruising so I waved him over and then he threw up the Shaka! It just made me even more happy haha I love it here! Then I saw his bumper sticker and it just made all my road rage go out the window hahaha hey. Have I mentioned that I love it here?
