Beginning a New Life

It's Official!!! I am all unpacked and moved into my apartment in Hawaii! It's pretty awesome having this feeling of beginning something new.I live in an upstairs part of a house with three other guys. My roommate's name is Everton and he is from Brazil(from looking at his stuff i'm guessing he is a huge soccer player/fan), the other two guys i'm living with are named, Brian and Robert but that is a guess because I actually haven't met them yet! (Im not a creepy I just wanted to provide some names for ya) haha! It's a very small apartment, for example the family room literally smashes into th kitchen! Haha Anyways my location is perfect because i'm only about 3blocks away from everything, school, church, temple, beach, stores and ect...

When I was dropped off by my parents it was kinda sad, my mom was crying and my father was giving me advice. I love you mom and dad, i'm doing just great. Oh we have no AC in the apartment so its bloody hot, we have like one fan and three ceiling fans so i'm just melting away while i'm writing this. I currently do not have a job but I will begin the job hunting first thing Monday morning. Oh I will post pictures as soon as I get my cord to connect my camera to my lapton, I left it hope so it will be mailed to me soon! I'm hoping that I can get a job at the PCC but we will see. Well thats the current update on me, just starting my new life so hopefully I will survive long enough to write the next post. I write ya later! Aloha

Enjoying Paradise

Hello everyone! This is my first post in Hawaii! I've been here for about 3 days and I'm loving it! Everything is perfect like the weather, people, atmosphere, ect... I currently on vacation with my family and we are stay at the Ko Olina Merriott Resort on the island of Oahu. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed at! Everyone in my family is here except Kory, who is in NYC doing an internship at some financial group. At the end of this week I am hoping to stay here at some off-campus housing. I had an interview at the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) to be a demo-guide in the Hawaiian island. There are only 2 openings and so far 7 people have had interviews so I'm super nervous! I've been praying super hard that I would get the job because it would be an amazing opportunity and would enjoy having that job. Well thats all I have to say, i'm going to go do some snorkeling. Hang loose, and I write ya later! PEACE!!!

Preparing to Leave

Holy crap it has been a crazy week! Today has been unbelievably hectic. I've been packing and getting the house all clean and doing tons of chores that need to be done before I leave to Hawaii. I've been the only one home today so I had to do everything and still do my own stuff and its probably caused some grey hairs on my head. Oh speaking of hair I put some caramel highlights in my hair and got a hair cut. The color looks good but I think my hair is to0 short. Its actually still long enough to put it in a ponytail but it is curling really tight so it looks really short. Well I've got to got do some more packing. I'll write to ya later, when i'm in Hawaii! Woohoo!

Time to do a little catching up!

Wow I haven't updated my blog for one month to the day! I guess this means i have a little catching up to do! The week of summer games swimming and soccer I started a job at "Dub's Hawaiian Ice" on main street next to TopSpot. So for that whole week I was using up all my time and trying to juggle time with work, swim practice, soccer practices, swim races, soccer games and more work. It was a hectic week! I ended up getting two silver medals in the 200M Freestyle(masters) and 200M Backstroke. Soccer we weren't so fortunate. We played for the Bronze medal and lost. I feel like it was partially my fault because I am the Goalie but I can say that I honestly did my best and felt like I had preformed my best in a long time. Out of the 5 games I let in only 8 goals. Which isn't bad at all. But I was kinda disappointed with my offense because I think we scored 4 goals other than the Parowan game where we scored 11 and I made one of those. But oh well.
The next week I just worked and did really nothing. Actually I did start a 5week Vocal Boot Camp with the amazing Adrianne Tawa. Adrianne is a very good friend of mine that is the mother of my "sis"(not really related) Julia Tawa, I have known since we were both in 1st Grade. Adrianne is an amazing singer and has helped me with my singing the past year, and she has helped me a LOT.
Jonah Hafen, Christi Brazee, Chelsea Clark and myself decided to go to California the next week, and boy did we have fun. We stayed at Christi's father's house in Mission Vierjo, Ca. That is really close to Irvines, California. That week we went to Huntington Beach, San Diego Zoo, Hollywood and Crystal Cove. These three friends are definitely on the top of my list of favorite people. We had so much fun and we all sad to come back.
Every July my family goes to Lake Powell for a week. This time almost all of my family was there except Heidi and here family and Kory. Chad brought his family and his Bro & Sis in-'law, Chris and Ashley Thompson. Those two are a hoot. They both have a really think southern accent because they grew up in Georgia. Rhett brought his friends Sarajane, Ben, and Nick and I really enjoy having all of them around. Ben was kneed in the back by Rhett while doing a train down the slide, and Ben got a huge bump where he got hit. Later on we named it Slither and I drew a unhappy face on it. HAHAHAHA The rest of the trip was fun except we had some boat issues but we got past it.
The remaining time between the lake and now I have been just hanging out and working. Oh and I'm going to be an Eagle Scout! yay! Also I have been talking pictures of people and i will post those later. Well thats all i have to say! Goodbye!
