day one

sorry it has taken me so long to blog, but i don't get service anywhere, and so i have to blog from the computers on byu-h's campus. I am having a blast already and so i will keep you updated on what happened each day! :)

I arrived on Thursday afternoon around 11:30 and my dear friend Erika picked me up. We had to make a pit stop at Walmart and pick some things up for EFY. We took a lovely scenic route around the island and stopped at Kava Root's for lunch.

we got the oh so delicious acai bowls!

I tried one last year and have not been able to stop thinking about them, so i was stoked.

me and erika enjoying our bowls.

Its funny how in Hawaii all the proportions are ginormous! So i could barely eat half of my bowl!

we made a friend at lunch. i think he enjoyed the acai as much as i did.

after lunch we dropped off the car to campus. Erika's co-worker let her borrow the car to come pick me up! I love that when you are here and you know someone who owns a car, its yours too!
We then walked to Erika's house. (another thing i love about hawaii, you walk everywhere!)

We hung out at her house for a bit and then went to her friends house to watch them skate.

they claimed the camera was making them "too nervous" to do any real crazy tricks...

after that we all jumped in the back of the truck and headed up to the point

because the boys wanted to jump off.

Erika and i thought it looked a little too risky...

as you can see this one's battle wound.

Later we walked down Kam highway to get some dinner. We walked back facing the gorgeous sunset. ahhhh. Nothing better than a Hawaiian sunset!

We got back to e's house and i was pooped. i was running on about 2 hours of sleep and it was already 12:30 utah time. Robbie, a counselor from last year as well, came over and said that the Shumway's (the session directors at EFY) we're coming to pick us up to feed us.
Haha they are the sweetest couple. I just had dinner so I couldn't even fit a bite in, but the gesture was so cute.
After that was pretty much a blur. I think i went straight to bed when we got home.
All in all, a fantabulous first day in hawaii!

hopefully i will have some more free time to keep blogging. But i start EFY tomorrow.
Wish me luck!!
