Christmas!!!!

So this year Christmas was a lot different, but a good experience to say the least. Unfortunately i didn't get to go home and see the family, but i did get to spend Christmas with my Hawaiian family. The Ah'Puck family was very welcoming and i was able to spend Christmas eve, Christmas and the day after with them. They are such loving and giving people that i will always remember. I had the opportunity to feel the true Christmas spirit from their family and am so thankful for it. They have truly blessed my life. I am so thankful for my savior and that he could be born and carry out his purpose here on this earth so that i can repent and return to live with him someday. May God bless each and everyone one of you this holiday season and remember the true meaning of Christmas, Christ's birth!

Final Days of Fall

Well there has a lot been going on lately so i will try and sum it up.

First i wanna go out of chronological order a bit and give my congratulations to my 3 favorite graduates this semester!!!!! I am so proud of them. Here is the last picture of all the roomies taken before graduation and one with me and the graduates after graduation.

So since many of our friends have been leaving us we have been having some epic activities!! when there was a torrential downpour complete with lightning and thunder (a rarity for us) we went and played a game called lap tag in an open field by our house in ankle deep water. For those of you who dont know lap tag is just a title and an excuse to wrestle, but boy it sure is fun!! some other things that we have done include a compound (what we call our houses, both the guys and girls together) beach football game, some fun laying out in the sun, a last girls night out together to one of our favorite restaurants Haleiwa Eats which is a house favorite for Tai food, watching sunsets, family dinners, and of course trying to take as many pictures to capture moments together. here are some pictures to show what we have been up to.

Finals

Once finals are over and life calms down a little bit i will get back on here and post all about lifes happenings. but not to leave this so dull, here is a fun picture that i have taken lately...
