I've been here over two weeks now. I have spent some time on Kauai and Oahu, speaking of Oahu, it is a really awesome place!! Things have been busy, however they are starting to slow down and I have a lot of free time! I started running and walking everyday, I really want to utilize this free time to get back into shape. I ran for 30 minutes yesterday, without stopping! That is big for me! I need to find some new running shoes though, mine are horrible for running. My feet hurt really bad and are getting blisters just from running 30 minutes... Guess I should look online and find some... Bummer!
I've done some really fun things while being back. I went to my first Luau ever! It was awesome! I got pulled up on stage by one of the hula guys and I had to do the hula in front of everyone, pretty crazy... I also went to a concert, Jake Shimabukuro, he is the most amazing musician I have ever heard! He plays the ukulele like no other! If you've got time look him up on youtube playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps, you won't regret it! :) I've also been able to spend some good time down on the beach. I saw a Hawaiian Monk Seal, that was awesome. It was just out on the beach not too far down from our house. Also, it is whale season so the whales are jumping like crazy!!! It is amazing! I've got some awesome pictures, some of which I will post at the end of this post.
I can't really think of much else to say right now. I'm just catching up on emails and stuff like that this morning. Fun stuff.. Soon I'll take Keilani out for a walk on the beach and look for whales, ah my favorite part of the day! :)
Oh, I've been going to this really awesome little church out in Kekaha. It is SO little and cute! They play worship music, of which includes the ukulele! So Hawaiian!! It is just an awesome little place to go. Everyone is so kind and welcoming too. When you walk in like 10 people come up and just hug you, it is very fun! They also give ukulele and guitar lessons on Sunday afternoons. Zachary and I are going to start going so we can expand our musical knowledge and skills! Woohoo!!
Okay, now for the pictures!
