going from 83 degrees to 3 degrees is not a good idea.
and there is fresh snow (time to get the skis back on).
stay tuned for pictures and writings of our hawaiian vacation, new fiber (it’s been sitting at the post office for three weeks), and other fun stuff.
my mom is here for work! yea!
’til then…
A day at Waikiki getting nice and crispy. And a picnic with Kaelene and her family.
I love Hawaii.
My older brother turned 30 today. I know it’s not old, but it just makes me realize how fast time flies.
And then I realized it’s been 11 years since gale and Margaret left Wrangell. Gale gave us a “slideshow” of old photos he took while living in our basement and putting up with five little nosy/noisy kids. They were hilarious. It feels like yesterday
And then today we flew to Oahu to visit my little little brother Ethan in Oahu- where he is attending college!! Makes me feel even older- I was in my freshman year 10 years ago!! We get to tour his campus tomorrow. I remember him visiting my uaa dorm and sleeping under my raised bed when he was 8!
Time is crazy. But it’s been good.
Aloha…
headed to oahu tomorrow for about a week.
beach and luau in maui today.
i ate a brownie for breakfast.
life is rough.
sorry for no posts! i have a few on my ipod, but it’s a bit harder to find FREE wi-fi around here, and i’m not going to search just to post a blog! so you may get a bunch at one time since i have been clumsily typing them out while sunning my pale green, too-long-in alaska green skin at the beach.
it’s been great.
being reunited with my cousin’s gale and margaret has been awesome. he hasn’t changed in the 12 years we’ve been apart. still hilarious! and fun! they were such a huge part of me and my siblings lives that i am so happy to have made this trip here.
he took us to his playground (he works in haleakala national park) and worked us for 13 miles. we were above the clouds so the sun was shining and it was breath-taking.
today we did a beach day to recover from our soreness.
i don’t want to tell too much since i will eventually post the ones from the ipod…
we requested an economy car from alamo, but luckily they ran out and we have a new dodge van! we are taking it to see Jaws (surf is up 30-40 tomorrow) and then camping!!
i may never come back to alaska. 
aloha.
’til then…
