Aloha!
yes, i'm back, and yes, i've been back for awhile. my life just seemed to get even crazier!!!!! and i still don't really really have time to sit down and update y'all
so rigth now i wanted to do a supa dupa quick recap on my trip to HAWAII!!!!!!!
i had a FABULOUS time, here are some of the highlights and some fav pics
enjoyed lots of this
and too much of this
(yeah, i seriously gained 5 pounds purely from the alcohol. damn)
oh, and remember how i thought my tolerance would have completely gone down the drain? yeah, not so much. i could still party like a rock star- and thats why the 5 pounds of alcohol belly..........
not as much of this as i would have liked
it was cloudy/rainy most of the the trip, but first day we got there it was beautiful and sunny!!!!!
steve took me and kara out surfing, second time for both of us. yeah, i pretty much suck. but it was fun. except for all the "board burn" we got from the soft board. ouch! still have scabs on my body. defiently need to wear a rash guard for a reason, or at least not an itty bitty bikini......
the wedding was beautiful. my friend patty looked so gorgeous and happy!!!!! still getting used to my camera, so i didn't get very many good wedding shots, but i'm gonna get some from the photographer and i'll post them then. here's my fav i took though, i think its just such a pretty picture!!! ( i need to play with it on photoshop to make the colors better)
we did all the touristy things, the rehersal dinner was a luau, we were all about that
then we did a visit to the north shore. since steve is a surfer, it was his main thing he wanted to do. the waves weren't as big as they get, but it was cool for him to see it in person. he was telling me about growing up and watching all the surf movies and looking at the magazines and always wanting to come and visit.........
waimia bay (don't hink i spelled that right. but yeah, if you're a beach boys fan, youll totally know what beach that is.....)
and sharks cove, it has really great snorkling but we didn't get to go cause it rained : (
we did get to go snorkling another day, aparently on the really kinda ghetto dangerous part of the island. we're lucky we didn't get our car broken into............ but we did see a turtle, so that was cool. then i started to freak out and worry about swimming into a shark so i decided to get out of the water- but its really hard to get out of the water in the flippers and with little waves so i totally got all tossed around and looked like a beach whaled much to the amusment of steve and kara. oh dude, and the amount of sand that was in my 'kini! yeah, i don't know about this whole snorkling thing........
few other fun/random pics
first, had to show you all that i DID indeed get a tan. not crazy tan, but at least i wont' blind you. here's a pic of me playign pool in like my shortest skirt ever. the shirt actually isnt' low cut, its kinda loose, but since i'm bending over it totally looks that way. i look like a hood rat, ok, so maybe i am, but i just wanted to show y'all my new tanned legs : )
sipping margaritas, i asked for no salt NO SALT
ok, and what the hell does this mean? we saw it on a truck and it cracked us up! does anyone know? major super cool my hero points if you do.......
one day, chillin in our hotel room, i look down at the pillow and see this
WTF??????? seriously, how weird is that? i know it wasn't some drunken thing cause no one had a purple pen. and i certainly did not bring my pillow from home, nor do i even ever write on my pillow ever. and the hotel people don't know i go by kat. too weird, and freakin creepy........
ending with my fav pic of the trip- patty (the bride), me, and kara- too much fun. can't wait to scrap this pic!
so its good to back, abeit incredibly psycho crazy busy and stressful. so maybe not really GOOD to be back, but yeah, i am. hopefully life will settle down a bit......
don't you like how i said this would be quick? yeah, thats why i kept putting it off- i knew i wouldn't be able to make it quick! and there are still like hundreds of pics i wish i could show. le sigh. oh well.
hope you all are having a fabulous weekend : )
