Many adventures of life in a nutshell

There are so many things that we have done and changes that are happening. A semester has ended. Along with the end of a semester, many friends who we have grown close to have left the island to start a new chapter of life. People come and people go. One thing is for sure... once you go to BYU-Hawaii, there will always be a bond with your BYUH friends! Change can be a hard thing when we become used to the way life is. It can be sad, but it can also bring about many great blessings and new adventures. In the last couple months, Creighton's dad and stepmom, Eileen came. We have gone snorkeling. I graduated and my parents really did come to my graduation. We went to the PCC, Chinaman's hat, kayaking in Kailua, and Manoa Falls. Now that I am graduated, I am thinking of my future plans. We will be in Hawaii another 2 years. as much as I love Hawaii, it has been hard to see people move and and know that I will still be here. In the meantime, I am thinking that I want to go to Massage therapy school. It is an 8 month program and something that i could really see myself doing. Here are some pics from out latest adventures: P.S. you are being bombarded with pictures.
