rainless winter


Oh the joys of a semester!
The homework load is in full gear for the both of us. I'm glad to be in my Senior Seminar part 1 of 2 class because it means the end is in sight. My classes this semester are so interesting and I have loved learning in them. It feels like our busiest semester yet but maybe we're just on opposite schedules. It's been hard to balance school and work because it doesn't seem like there are enough hours in the day.



Boy, have we had a rainless winter! It feels like summer has lasted all the way through January. Even though I am sure mother nature Hawaii is suffering from a drought, it sure has made nice beach days and bonfire nights for us. This picture is of a bonfire we recently had with the Nelson's and Onkes's. I loved the moon refelcting on the water!

Cameron usually wakes up earlier than I do and the other morning he decided to catch this beautiful sunrise from the front window. Nice work Cameron!


We had a great weekend full of the beach and relaxing. Cameron surfed while I laid in the sun and after we got some burgers at Kahuku Grill... pretty good!
We ended off the day with a very intense BYUH basketball game. If you were there, you would know.

Thanksgiving 2009



This year for thanksgiving we had such a treat! My family came out to stay with us. We had a great time with them when we didn't have class. Thanksgiving dinner was a hit! Mom, Courtney and I cooked while the boys surfed. It was delicious and we had lots of leftovers-- so many that I don't think I can eat turkey again for another year, at least! We saw a movie, The Blind Side, after dinner which was excellent.

























It was fun to celebrate my brother Chase's 10th birthday!


I requested that everyone wore birthday hats.
















We had such a great time with them and goodbye wasn't too hard because Christmas vacation follows 3 weeks after!
After they left, Cameron and I put up the Christmas tree! We couldn't wait for the Christmas season to start.
