Spring

Spring in Hawaii has been beautiful. We don't really have a true spring here though, just wet season and dry season, and it's been ...WET. It's rained and rained and you would think that with it being my 4th spring in Hawaii I would be use to it, but it still surprises me. Keith and I drove down the H3 (highway) the other day and loved the dozens of hundred foot water falls that only happen when it rains hard this time of year.

 

Some updates on things weve been doing the past month or so...
Keith had never done Sacred Falls and so one muddy afternoon we made the trek.

I've also been hanging out with my girl Aberle. (and her parents Matt and Alexa) We've really enjoyed staying up late playing (very competitive games of)  pinochle, beach days and lots of fun with the McArthurs. We're gonna miss them so much this summer. 

The Drapers came to Hawaii for spring break and completely spoiled us. We loved hanging out at their Resort at Ko Olina. The boys played lots of pool basketball, we surfed at white planes (a new beach I have never been to!) went to the temple, paddle boarded at hukilua, body boarded at pounders and watched the firework show in Waikiki. And they fed us a ton, which we've been so grateful for because we havent been buying any food but just finishing up all the random things in our kitchen before we leave. (like lots of rice and dijon mustard lol oh the life of poor married college couples..) Thank you Drapers!! 

On my way to work, I flew to Arizona to see baby Rampton (who is still inside of Jessicas stomach, due April 26) It was very fun and I CAN NOT wait for him to be born. And then Keith and I went to Utah for LDS General Conference. I love conference and I am so grateful for a modern day Prophet and Apostles to guide us. It was fun seeing lots of family. Lex and I went to a cycling class and a yoga class which were also really fun. The only picture I have however, is of the March Maddness award ceremony haha, I got 3rd place. 

Keith finishes his semester tomorrow and we're flying out right after his last final. I'm very nostalgic about leaving Hawaii :( But we will be back in less than 5 months and I'm looking forward to our adventures this summer. Keith is taking the DAT on May 3rd, and then we'll really start applying and deciding on dental schools for fall 2015. Decisions decisions...! 

PS - I had to make this for a homework assignment in my film class, so I thought Id share.
