awkward & awesome 6/7/13

let's have lunch together.

i haven't done one of these posts in a very long time, so i thought it was about time to do one again. but first, i'll update you really quickly on life in hawaii. i still can't believe i'm here all summer. i am beyond blessed. on monday, i started an online class: organic chemistry. I need to take it before i apply to my medical laboratory degree. (i apply in late july/early aug.) i've taken an intro class to o. chem before this, so i'm hoping it helps. thankfully, i don't need to take a lab with it... i'd say taking a lab would be close to impossible anyways- seeing as it's an online class. another thing that started on monday was vacation bible school at my family's church. this year's theme is kingdom rock! tomorrow is our last day. :( it went by so quickly. i feel like it always does though. i'm helping with games this year (kinda out of my comfort zone), but the kids love it! and that's all that matters, right? i haven't been able to swim or hike lately (because of vbs) which is ok, but i'm excited to do those things again. there's a pool 3 blocks from our house, literally. i love it.

*more about the picture above: my two younger brothers have had sailing lessons in that water for the past 4ish months, and they took us sailing last week! hopefully i can blog about that soon. :) i didn't take any pictures so i'm going to steal some from my mom. if that's ok with her. ;)

okay, now for awkward & awesome time.

+awkward+

+people think I'm 17, and nate's 20 something. i'm ok with that. when i'm 50, i'll look 40, right?

+looking at pictures of winter and missing it already. 

+remembering those times as a 3-5 yr old. picking my belly button. a lot. bleeding, scabs and band-aids were involved. really? what was i thinking...

+crazy angry lady yelling at  me when i ran through construction area. it wasn't that construction-y, and she was in her mid 20's. i thought it was weird. 

+not "old enough" to have military orders. let me explain-- while checking in our luggage, i mentioned to the guy behind the desk that nate and i were on orders (reason: so we didn't have to pay the ridiculous fee for check-ins.) we were, but not in the sense he was thinking. needless to say, we technically are old enough. we're both over 18 years.

+awesome+

+ i have a lifeproof case for my iphone now! this means i can go on adventures, and i won't have to worry about it breaking/drowning/cracking/etc.

+mangos, mangos everyday. I will be sad when they are gone (if that day ever comes.)

+kids at vacation bible school. they brighten my day like one other.  "aunty, where do i put my water cup?" in hawaii, mr and mrs/ms are translated to uncle and aunty, fyi :) it's adorable.

+watching elias toddle around. he's getting pretty good at that. he also thinks every animal roars. 

+a hammock in the shade. sleeping in it two nights in a row is also fun. :)

+nate and his awesome computer skills. my online class (o chem) was not working because our computer had the wrong video player. after, frustration and a headache. he got it to work. yay!! now i can't procrastinate it anymore...
