Okay I know that I JUST put a blog post up, and I HATE when people mass blog, but I just really want you guys to know what I am doing. Because I do awesome stuff. Since I live in Hawaii (this does not always still feel real despite the fact it has been happening for several months) I am trying to take advantage of all the fun, outdoorsy things there are to do here. This means I went hiking with a bunch of people in my ward a week ago. We are working our way up to Koko head, and I'm pretty sure I will need a year to work up to that one! But here are some pictures from the beautiful hike we did up to the Makapuu Lighthouse. Enjoy!

This girl kills me. Eating garlic fried chicken and mashed potatoes at 8:30 in the morning

And then she used her sweatshirt to carry her water bottle

Just the ocean

This is a Zombie lady bug. It was biting everyone

Tati loving the hike

I am so blessed to live on this rock

As a teacher I have the opportunity to advise a club. This club is called Skills USA. This club does a variety of things, including volunteer, hold fundraisers and generally just have a good time. But also they have an annual competition in Honolulu, where they can compete in many different areas, including Robotics, Advertising Design, Job Interview, Internetworking, etc. This was my first year being involved with the Skills club so I wasn't really sure what to expect. It turned out to be a great little experience and I am already excited for next years competition. Here are some pictures from the couple days we spent in town. Just know that since I am the only female advisor from my school I got my own hotel room, which I did NOT hate. :)

My cute little name tag

Most of the kids from Mililani. We took 40 kids(!) and 5 came home with Gold Medals, and several Silver and Bronze. There were also 2 categories where Mililani placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

These are the men I work with...
