Back to Hawaii

Aloha! I've been neglecting updating my blog, and I think I should update it more often from now on.

I went home for the summer, and had a wonderful time with friends and family! It was so nice to go visit my sisters and their families in Colorado and Vegas. It was my first time to Vegas, and it was great! While in Colorado we had a great time with Jenn's friends on the 4th of July. I am so glad I was able to see all of my nieces and nephews while I was home. It was my first time to see my new nephew Landon! It was such a luxury to not have to work or go to school, and be able to drive an actual car! It was so nice to spend time with my family at home, and hang out with my mom a few times. Brett and I had some good times watching movies together, and I even got to get a haircut by Clarissa before I left.

I flew back to Laie, Hawaii on June 25th. It was sad to leave home, but good to get back to Hawaii. I love both places! But I think I'll always think of my Arizona home as my true home. I started school 2 days after I got back, and it's been great! It's good to get back to work and school. I decided to change my major after I got back, so now instead of getting an Art Education major, I'm getting an Art major with 2D emphasis, plus my minor (which I was getting before too) which is Instruction Design Development. It's a great one! Because I switched, instead of graduation in December 2010, I will graduate in April 2010!!! That is SOOOO soon to me! Only two more semesters after this term, and I will be DONE. It's pretty crazy. I have mixed feelings about it, because I think it will be good to be done and move on, but I will also miss leaving Hawaii, BYU-H, and my friends here.

One thing that I realized after I came back to Hawaii is that I really like frozen bananas. Just peel a normal banana, put it in a ziploc bag and freeze it. They are so good, cool and refreshing on a hot day, healthy, and taste great! They're sweet and a little chewy too. (don't do it with green bananas, make sure they're all the way yellow before freezing)

There's supposed to be a lot of rain coming my way tonight, from the Hurricane Felicia. Luckily we shouldn't get anything more than some rain and maybe a little wind. There are flash flood warnings for my island and some of the others too, but hopefully it won't be that bad. One nice thing about it, though, was it cancelled one of my classes today! So instead of working on my project in class, I've been able to do it at home instead.
