March 2010

This day is so much more special to me since a year ago, when I got to do the Palm Sunday processional walk in JERUSALEM, on a hot hot sunny day, with thousands of other devoted Christians.

Just as Christ’s followers did 2000 years ago, we carried palm leaves and walked from Bethphage to St. Anne’s church inside Lion’s Gate. What an incredible experience. I’m just so blessed to have learned and enjoyed all I have with such good people.

I talked with Bishop after church today. He is so so wonderful. So inspired and guided by the spirit. Was so comforting and encouraging talking with him. Talked to him about some good Relief Society stuffs and also… about going on a mission, which I’m doing this fall. Crazy. But so good. So exciting.

Also had a super fabulous vegan feast party with the neighbors and fellow vegetarian type peoples. Absolutely lovely. Hopefully we’ll have another one next week for Easters!

Don’t forget to read the post about my dear birthday sister who I love muchos. :)

I love Hawaiian state holidays, especially Prince Kuhio Day. No class and our Black and White ward dinner dance activity.
Since I’ve got a sweet ride and a costco card, I took the boys to Costcoland this morning to get foods for the activity. Then help set up for it in the ballroom and fun stuffs.

Had quite a lovely time with the activity. Helped clean up at the end and did a lot of piano playing in the ballroom. Twas marvelous. I must do more piano fun.

P.S. I LOVE GOOGLE EARTH!
P.P.S. I bought And So It Goes on itunes. Billy Joel is the man.
As is Prince Kuhio!

This is my sister. Today we are celebrating her day of birth. What a beautifully joyous day. I love birthdays so much. I love sister too.

I just love this girl so much. I think I love her more than I realize. It’s so nice seeing her everyday. It’s so nice going to bed with my last words for the day being, “Goodnight, love you.” Things are just so good.
Hoppy Birthday Sister Dear.

I’m not a big fan of the ends of semesters. Too much to do. Too many papers to write, exams to study for, projects to do. Maybe I should start working on semester projects earlier in the semester. Yes. I should.

P.S. A year ago I had just stopped at Caesarea Maritima to reunite with the sea, the Mediterranean Sea. We were headed to Galilee, where I had some of the best times of life. Never stop missing it.

I LOVE BIRTHDAYS SO MUCH!
An entire day devoted to celebrating myself… how wonderful is that! Birthdays are nothing but glorious.
Started my day with a lovely beach run.
Went to one class. Skipped two.
Came home to a beautifully decorated house.
Had a photo shoot with my favorite Carla girl.
Enjoyed a little party with my three favorite amigas.
Open some very lovely presents.
Ate some magically delicious chocolate.
More peeps came over later for cake.
I made wishes.
They’ll come true.

and it feels so goooood!!!

My 21st birthday is coming soon!
I’m getting some sweet mail for the occasion.
I love mail so much. I need to send muchos more of it. I will.

Got an incredible box of happy birthday-ness from Alexis and Elena, and got a sweet box from Holly and Mom too.

Oh it makes me so happy!

Sister and I did the 5k fundraiser run for Haiti today!

Hope this picture doesn’t gross you out at all. :) But my head got super sunburned last week when I was an extra in the movie and the day after that when I was sitting outside all day waiting for the tsunami.

So now my scalp is peeling, in big chunks. Naturally I had to take a picture so I could blog about it for your enjoyment.

Please stop by my office at BYUH Security on a matter now pending.
