Hawaii

Hawaii was good. Had it's ups and downs, but I've returned in one piece, with only a slightly burnt back/shoulders. No other sunburns, amazing. 
Took all day to travel there,we left my house at 9 am utah time, but we got at the hotel around 11 Hawaii time, in other words, 7 pm utah time. 
Went and did baptisms at the temple, which is whole nother story in itself that i doubt i'll ever get to on here. :) then the beach. (I'm doing this by day, this is day 2) Then my brother showed up that night. 
Day 3, ummm...dang...what did we do.....this is taking me forever to figure out what we did....wow. I know Day 3 was saturday...hrmph. HAH, just went and asked mom :) Saturday we went to Pearl Harbor. We saw the submarine, and i can't remember what it was called there (no not the Arizona, we saw another exhibit we had to pay for). But we got to go in and around the submarine. It was cool, especially since my dad was in the navy, as was my mom's dad, and my dad's grandpa. My dad was on a nuclear submarine, so it was bigger than the one we got to see. The one we saw was only made to submerged when running away from the enemy since i thad guns on top and all. The longest my dad was submereged on a submarine was 75 days, this sub was made to go no longer than 12 hours. Then we went to see the Arizona memorial, we found my dad's grandpa's brother's name on there. So no direct lineage, but it is my great-grandpa's brother. Then we went to the beach again :) Then we to the swamp meet in the Aloha stadium nearby. We spent quite somet ime there, it was fun, I love flea markets. :) Then we went to the beach and dinner, and walked around town for a bit. (we stayed in waikiki). 
Day 4 - We went to church. Man, the native men there are super friendly to the guys, didn't really talk to the women. The native women however, man, they were cold. The only women in RS that even acknowledge me were the white women, and ironically, all from Utah and have been to heber at oe point or another. All five of them, cracked me up. Then half the family went to see a big waterfall, my brother i guess was too sore to go hike, but hew as the driver of the other car, so not everyone could go, so i stayed, i'll just have to see it next time, should there be one. Then there was an hour and a half long parade near the hotel, so we watched that, and holy long parade, and VERY VERY SO VERY different. It was weird for me not to see the rodeo queen in the parade. :) Saw some majorettes, made me miss baton very very much, but i'll never give up music for anything else for as long as i can. :) Then we just chilled at the hotel
Day 5 - dang it was a monday....hmm...what did we do. OH Snorkeling, I have to say that was one of the big highlights of the trip. Coral doesn't look all that sharp, but boy is it. I barely touched it, and i managed to stab my hand, get four punctures in my foot and scrap both legs. Not bad, just didn't think i would get hurt, I thought I was extra careful. Then we went to the world famous shrimp shack. First time I ever had to peel my own shrimp. It was good, then we went to the polynesian cultural center. I wish I had had ALL day there instead, we didn't get to see everything, so if i go back to hawaii, i'm seeing that again for sure. That took up the rest of the night, we all crashed at the hotel after that. 
Day 6 - Breakfast Buffet/Omelette Bar right by the beach. Was awesome, morning swim at the beach until the afternoon. Sisters wanted to check out china town, they were sorely disappointed. :) We then did some walking around, went to watch the sunset. BEAUTIFUL, barely made it in time due to dad getting lost which was getting pretty darn funny cause of how my mad my brother gets at everything. It was funny, shouldn't hve been, but it was. We were able to take last minute pictures, that sun sets FAST. we didn't even have 5 minutes to take pictures by the time we fund a beah to take pics at. We hung out awhile there, then went to a REALLY CRAPPY SUCKY buffet dinner. Packed, and went home for Day 7. 
I'm purposely leaving out all the bad stuff that just made me really grumpy at times. :) I've complained about them enough, thati should suffice for now. Generally, great time in hawaii :) I just hate facing reality when i've been gone for a long period of time. I have tons to do, ad it makes me want to cry....bad.

Weirdness

So I'm sitting there talking to my mom about preschool stuff. A guy I wanted to date for almost two years, and never got to (very long story), texted me out of the blue tonight. I forgot I still had his phone number on my cell. Anyway, the last time I talked to him was way back In january where basically I told him I was practically engaged and doing well. We text a little, then he calls, and we talked for awhile. Basically it was a conversation of him saying he wished he had asked me out earlier, etc. I've had these before. And me reassuring him this time that i was not going to break my engagement off, just made me feel really good about my decision to marry bryan. Like i knew i wanted to marry him before, but I think I needed this little reassurance lately, after all, life isn't always pretty :). It was also cool, cause the whole time I knew this guy, I wanted to date him so bad, and was dating other guys and had 2 or 3 boyfriends while i knew/liked this guy. Each time he would start talking to me, didn't matter what guy i was with, i just wanted to date him. This time though, i just laughed and chuckled in my head and had no desire to be with him like that in anyway. It would be so fun to sit down and talk with him, but after this conversation, i'm not sure if it would be a good idea on his part :) It was just nice. But what made everything more weird, as soon as I get off the phone with him and get on the computer, not too long after I talked to Chance, two other guys msg me, both who i've dated before, asked me if i ever wondered if i should've kept dating them, etc, whatever happened, and why we're not together now. Weird. My sister then got an e-mail where a girl she hadn't talked to in almost 6 years e-mailed her out of the blue as well. I dunno, just a weird night. Good, but weird. :)

Addiction

I guess the headaches seem to hav ebeen from not taking lortab as I seem to be addicted to it at the moment (Having been on it for a week, I'm sure my body feels like it needs it). Went to the doc, did blood and urine tests this time, confirmed i don't need anti bioitics, it's just a virus that I just have to wait out. The two antibiotics were what were making me feel sick pukey and crampy and kidneys hurting. So hopefully that goes away soon as I've been instructed to not take those anymore. Just have to take more lortab than i have been normally when I feel the need to (such as now as the headache is building up and everything is fuzzy :) ). So mostly the same....the lump is the lymph nodes with infection, I have to wait that out as well. joy. :) Sad part that literally made me cry (course I get very depressed when I'm sick for a long period of time), I may be sick for another two weeks, I go to hawaii in just under a week.....oh well, such is life i guess. :)

Lortab

This is my first time on lortab. Guess doctor thought my migraines were bad enough, no only are they reoccurring for the past 3 days, but they hurt like no other. So he gave me lortab.
Lortab + Teaching Cued American English = BAD idea
It didn't kick in until 2 1/2 hours after I took it. Luckily mom was there to take over as we were co teaching for the night. It ended up with me rolling my eyes around and slurring my speech. She had to explain to them what happened, especially since I was on BYU campus teaching BYU students....yeah
lortab...wow.

sick

My leg (right leg) is still recovering from the allergy reaction i got from being sunburned/getting too much sun. It's still retaining water, and i guess i had my left leg on top of my right while i was sleeping, so when i woke up there was a huge indentation on my right leg. it took me a minute to figure out how in the world i did that, especially since i do have a tendency to have weird things to my body. I got a migraine last night for the second time ever, the first time was in seventh grade. This may not seem like a big deal to many of you, but i don't deal well with pain that isn't a bump on the head/bruise/cut/broken bone. I don't like aches, and thus I don't deal well with it, lucky for me, cramps last...12 hours and that's it. I think that's why. Anyway, so i got a migraine while shopping with bryan yesterday, near the end of shopping, and it got worse on my way home to heber from slc, and i didn't get a chance to go to bed until 2 am, and I got up at 645 am...needless to say, it didn't go away. even after taking 4 excedrin migraine pills. it continued until i got home from my brother's outdoor graduation. now it's just a splitting headache, which is better :) just not fun still as we have 40 people upstairs inside/outside the house for my brother's graduation luncheon with other families and stuff. I am not in a social mood, and this is my escape for about 15 minutes. :) it should be over in the next hour, hopefully. 
i was in a conversation with my mom and another mom. they were talking about how they wer ehaving a hard time with their sons graduating today. my mom says "i never have a hard time with the girls, emilie graduated, i didn't cry at all. when i even drove her to provo to move there, i still didn't cry." not sure how to take that *shrugs* oh well, maybe she just feels a closer connection to her boys? 8shrugs* who knows, now probably isn't a good time for me to ponder it too much. 
i miss bryan.
