I can't believe I live in Hawaii!!!!
So a little update on my grand adventure!!! We got into the airport about 8:00pm Hawaii time & 12:00am Edmonton time and as soon as we walked off the plane we were just hit with a wave of humidity!!!! It took a while to get our 8 suitcases onto the airport hotel shuttle, but we finally did it, and stayed at the airport hotel that night. The next morning we woke up about 6am, got the rental car, ate at the hotel diner (I got a belgian waffle smothered in whipped butter and coconut syrup! it was delicious!!) and then drove to Laie!! The drive there was breathtaking!! It was slightly misty over the mountains and it was so green and lush and palm trees everywhere(some with tons of coconuts) & the ocean was clear and blue, and there were tropical flowers and trees dangling over the highway, it was gorgeous!!!! Then we finally got to BYUH campus!! I had to run to the health centre as soon as we got there and get pricked for TB testing, then we came & looked at our dorm room which consists of 2 beds, 2 closets, 2 desks, 2 chairs and one dresser!!! Then we got our mailboxes & adresses ( haha if anyone wants to mail me anything, its the same as sending it from state to state!!!) Then we moved in all of our stuff and unpacked!!! (we have TONS of stuff to buy at walmart tomorrow!!!!) Then we went to the cafeteria and got out first meal of the meal plan!! It was huli-huli chicken with rice, veggies, a noodle stirfry, and white macedamia nut cookies & a sponge cake with caramel sauce for dessert! Then we went bowling at the games centre with some new found friends and then walked down to the temple and popped over to temple beach! It was dark so I couldnt really tell if it was a nice beach or not, but the sand was soft and the stars looked absolutely amazing!! But i still cant believe I am going to be living here or the next 8 months!! and sorry theres no pictures yet i will put some up soon!!!!! haha not that like anyone is going to be reading this anyways!!!! but if you do, pictures are soon to come!!!
