pictures for mom

so i know i'm not in this first picture but its off my dad and my baby sister jordyn and i just think it is so cute!! HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! i know thats late in terms of blogging BUT i did call him on father's day. i sure miss my dad a lot and wish that i could be home for summer boating and bbq's! you are definitely missed dad!! thanks for all you do! love you forever

besides that....nothing really new/exciting has happened since my last post. I've successfully gone to the beach every single day this past week not counting sunday and i love it. i love being able to wak five minutes and be across the street at the beach. i love laying out even if its only for a short amount of time. it never gets old. also...why is being tan an addiction? i swear the darker you get the more tan you want to be. AHHHH. yes mom...i'm wearing sunscreen!

Colleen's birthday was last week and we had a lot of fun. we woke up and i made crepes with lots of fresh yummy fruits and then we headed over to pounders beach to do some body surfing and boogie boarding. i opted out of both and instead just swam around in the water. when they say pounders...they mean pounders. not so much a fan of getting pounded into the sand as the wave breaks right on the shore. no thanks :] then we went over to the aloha center on campus and watched the nba finals. too bad the celtics lost. i hate the lakers. they are nasty and i'm not thrilled they won.

after the game we went to waimea bay down the north shore towards haleiwa town (probably my most favorite little town thus far) and watched the sunset. it was beautiful and was one of those moments that made me appreciate being able to live in such a beautiful place. like seriously...i live in hawaii....this is crazy!! here is some proof of how awesome the sunset was. also that boat is in the bay most days and i love it!

me and the birthday girl...this was one of the semi good pictures we got. i have to be sneaky...colleen thinks its a funny little game to go through my computer and camera and delete the pictures she doesn't like. uhhh NOT COOL!

after the sunset we went to haleiwa eats and got delicious thai food. it was an all around great night with great people! happy 20th birthday colleen. i'm so glad you are here with me!!

other thoughts:

-chris and i watched the bachelorette tonight and that kasey is crazy!! a tatoo on your arm about shielding ali's heart and you think you aren't going to get kicked off? nice try.

-the show that comes on after the bachelorette is pretty funny. its called "true beauty" or something like that and its sort of ridiculous but chris and i (probably mostly i) love it. its a show about inner beauty but all the contestants think its about outter beauty and becoming the "face of vegas"and there are secret challenges to test their character and its funny. they are all shallow and sort of get pissed when they find out the real meaning of the show as they get kicked off. hilarious.

-i got more hours at work this week. woohooo. downside...they aren't in the store i was hired to work in. oh well i guess. work is work. i realllllly need to get on the teaching thing.

-i found out my family is going to montana is august for a family vacation/little family reunion and i'm sad that i can't be there. i was the one who said we should all go to montana and be up there for the fair and the rodeo and now i don't even get to go.

-i need some retail therapy. its not like i even have money to burn a hole in my pocket but regardless i need to go shopping. i haven't been in weeks and a new shirt or new pair of shoes would be amazing right about now. its just nice every now and then to get something new to make you feel good about yourself.

-i want to get my hair done SOOOO bad but because i have no money (ok not entirely true, i just feel bad spending it on something so silly as getting my hair done) that i'm putting it off....but i really want to get my highlights spruced up. ugh. curse being poor.

-i can NOT eat popcorn. without fail every single time i eat it i get the worst stomach aches! two nights in a row i've had popcorn and both nights i have had such a bad stomach ache. stupid. especially because colleen makes AWESOME jalepeno popcorn. sad.

thats all for now i guess. just wanted to post some pictures that i promised my mom i would post. also. i need to take more pictures. i had to scramble to come up with the ones i did. i just hate being the annoying person that always takes out the camera. guess i need to work on it. especially since i don't have very many of chris and i. thats all.
