Mas!

I LOVE Little Bird SOOOO much!

Cam and Josh made us these awesome shirts!!!
They are the Hawaiian Islands (obviously)
Spray painted using stolen outlines of the islands.
Cam donated his shirt to me as well, what a kid.

Jill I think? Had this awesome idea for a pose!
hahahahaha

Showers at Huki!

I love these showers!!!!! I don't know why. I think the sensation of showering outside, on beach in Hawaii is just the best. Showering with friends is even more fun! 

Luke... he didn't get in on the shower party

Tash also opted out of the shower shananigans today.

THE CAF.

Yup. That face describes it all.

Cameron Anderson, inventor of the triple stack pb&h, a regular caf favorite.

Oh man. I love these girls.

A word on the caf....

You will never understand it until you eat there for a year. No matter how hard I try, I will never be able to explain the caf. The first day Kad and I ate there... we had these nasty wraps and we were thinking "Ohhhh boy. This is going to be a long year."The caf actually did have some decent meals every once in a while, but then there were other days or weeks I swear that every option was so nasty. My favorites were chicken casadillas, tacos, the pasta, pizza, deli day, and I can't remember the others. But, there were always the old standards: pb&j or pb&h, (cut in triangles of course, and always sharing the best bite!) toast or cereal. And they had these gigantic waffle makers! Those were good, but got old. We also got creative sometimes, combining cereals and double decking sandwiches. The creativity was endless, and we came up with some funny stuff. The breakfast was really pretty good, pancakes and omelets were yummy! I mostly like the caf though, because it was so fun to eat meals with your friends or meet knew people. Every night we would text or call to figure out what time we were going to dinner and every night something hilarious would happen and we would laugh until we (I?) cried. Some days we would sit in there for HOURS and cycles of people would come and go before we even thought about leaving. It was so much fun, and also pretty fattening. Fast Sundays were mad house days, but we got ice cream! (Mixed it with rice crispies and peanut butter, what else?) We would joke about our student IDs being our life lines-- can't get in the caf without them! We would pretend to be robots always swiping our cards... good times. Occasionally something exciting would happen in the caf, like the Korean celebration, or the time the choir broke out into song! That was awesome. Or there was the time Tasha tripped and dumped Jill's Cheerios everywhere. Stacking cups was a highlight as well. So many memories! Half our lives were spent in that pink and white cafeteria I swear. I miss it sometimes! The food, no. But I'd take the food if it meant hanging out with my friends 24/7 again. 

One last word on food. The rumors are true, its friggin' expensive in Hawaii. The first thing people blurted out when I told them I was going to Hawaii was, "Oh my gosh! Milk is like 7 dollars a gallon over there!" I came to expect it as the first response, always. But it was true! I got there and sent a picture of milk being 6 something to all my friends at home that I joked about that with. Foodland was outrageous, I think they do it to rip college kids off but that's just me. We had to save up to buy an 8 dollar bag of trail mix, or raisins in Jill's case. It was crazy, I came home and was amazed at how cheap everything was at grocery stores in Utah.  That didn't really stop us from going to Foodland almost every night and buying Ben and Jerry's or Haagan Daaz ice cream though...

Getting in as much beach as possible before we go back home to Utah.

Oh Tashi. What a good friend!

My toes love the beach!

Truly.

A million of the same pics because I have anxiety about deciding which one is the best shot.

This is the Hawaiian Islands. Artwork by Tiff.

I don't know if the look of longing/sadness in our eyes is evident  to anyone else...
We weren't ready to leave this island and definitely not ready to leave each other.

Oh how I cherish this night!

There is reason behind the madness in this picture.

Oooooh I love these girls so much!

Ky made a movie for A Day Without Shoes and it was AWESOME!!!!!
We all got to be in it. Here I am.

The end of A Day Without Shoes.

Aren't these 2 talented!!!! This was so great!

Double cartwheels, yeah! Tash and Tiffy.

Jumping the rock at Waimea! So fun! This was the day there was the turtle swimming with us! So cute!

This was also the day Andrew came up to Kylie with his hands behind his back while we were standing on the top of this cliff. Ky thought it was going to be this fake spider her mom mailed her that we had been having so much fun with. SURPRISE!!!!! It was a live, flipping, white fishy Andrew caught with his bare hands! Ky FREAKED when she saw it flipping right in front of her face and smacked it out of his hand so fast! (Also screamed) The best is, she smacked it and it flew and smacked this kid standing on a lower ledge in the head before falling to the ocean. That, is the best.

Kad and I on our last ride in Free Roamer :(
Trying to go to Denny's... it was closed!!!!! So lame.
The next day I walked home from class to see Tiff selling Free Roamer to some nice old man.
We sat in the seats for the back of her truck in the parking lot mourning the loss.
Until her cousin came to take the seats we were sitting on right out from under us, too.

This is THE spider. May or may not have scared girls in the showers with it...
Or innocent girls chatting in their rooms... (TIFF!) Hahah... all by herself. She cracked herself up it was hilarious.
Or the boys in the back of the truck...

Campus view.

On our way to our last dinner out of the semester!
Hitch hiking is the beast.
We ate at Korean BBQ in Hauula and I loved it!

I can't say for sure but I think this is Tiff trying to pick Jill's nose.

LONGEST bus ride to swap meet! We missed our transfer like 14 times. Got stuck in the middle of no where once. Ate zero food. Missed Free Roamer a million times. Did have one positive missionary experience, however. Maybe it was meant to be.
