Photo Tag

I was tagged by Kim to take pictures of certain things and to do it right away (before cleaning up- ha ha, yeah right). So here we go...

1. The kitchen sink: I love having a sink with 2 sides now.
2. Laundry room: This is the laundromat for our complex so I don't have to worry about keeping it clean.
3. The toilet: Pretty nice...for a toilet
4. Inside the fridge: I'll admit this picture is a little old. Now our fridge is almost empty.
5. What is your spouse doing right now? Rob is always walking out the door to go do his RA duties.
6. Favorite shoes: Slippers are a necessity in Hawaii and these are comfortable and cheap
7. Favorite room: I love my everyday activities but my favorite time of the day is when I get to climb into bed and sleep! This room is also where our air conditioner is located-another bonus.
8. Your Closet: We just moved to this apt not too long ago so everything is still in the right place. Plus it's a small closet so there's not much to mess up.
9. Dream Vacation: Tahiti-I love the scenery, seclusion, and the dancing!
My other dream vacation is to go to Disney World. I've never been to d-world or land. If we went though, I would want to spend 2 weeks there so we can see everything. That's why it's a dream. 10. Self-Portrait:
Well, there you go. I tag Ashlyn, Shanae, Leah, Kelsy, Mia, Kareena, Kaleen & anyone else who wants to play along. Have fun!

Ward BBQ

A few Saturdays ago our ward had a BBQ/water party. We ate some burgers and dogs and then some played soccer and some played on the giant slip-n-slide. They also played water balloon volleyball. It was fun to play and socialize with the ward members. Our activities committee always does an excellent job with their activities. Thank you!

Ali's baby has so much hair and is so cute

New Haircut

On July 26 I did something I haven't done for 9 years: cut my hair to my shoulders. I needed a change and I was sick of my hair being so heavy and all over me. Plus, I was hoping it would make me look a little older. When I was working at the high school I had several teachers and students ask me what grade I was, where my hall pass was, etc. I'm 23! I wanted it to be a little longer but you know how hair stylists always go shorter than you want. I asked for about 4 inches and she took off about 6 or 8. I was really pleased with the result though. It is much easier and faster to style. Do you think it makes me look older?
When I look at these pictures I miss my long hair. Who knows, maybe I'll grow it out again. It grows pretty fast. But for now, I'm enjoying short, sassy hair!

Vietnamese Food

Sorry I haven't updated in forever. About a month ago we went with our friends Mike and Kaitlin to Pho Saigon in Waikiki to celebrate Kaitlin getting back from teaching in Fiji. They wanted us to try either Vietnamese or Korean food so we chose the first one. We ordered spring rolls, pork chops with rice, and pho (pronounced "foo" like foot w/out the "t") with beef balls and brisket. The Holtons mixed in all the herbs and sauces for us to make the pho flavorful. We liked everything but the pho. Biting into the beef balls was a turn off for me. The texture was weird. The pho was edible but we won't order it again.

Pho

Then we stopped by McDonald's for sundaes. We always have so much fun with the Holtons! They are crazy and we are always laughing together. We'll be sad when they leave in December.
