Kuhio Day

Well, the last week has been busy!! Easter Sunday was alot of fun. My friends and I decided to have an Easter dinner, so we all pitched in and had the first real Sunday dinner since we got back here. I made some potatoes, and was in charge of the ham. I made close to 10 calls to mom and dad on Saturday and Sunday, but the food all turned out great! It was alot of fun to have our own little celebration. Unlike there, it was nice and sunny. It was a perfect Easter Sunday.

Wednesday was Kuhio Day, a Hawaiian Holiday, so I didn't have work or school. My friends and I went to the beach, Waimea Bay, and we were lucky enough to be there when the dolphins were there. There was probably around 100 dolphins in the bay, jumping, doing backflips, doing 360s in the air. It was SO awesome! When I thought there couldn't be any more excitement, we saw two whales also. They jumped completed out of the water. It was SO SO amazing! It was awesome to be able to see it, because it is the end of whale season, so they won't be around much longer. It was a fun way to spend my Hawaiian holiday!

I talked to the lady about the nanny job in ALaska today. It's a go! I am going to be living in Sandpoint with the family in May, and then travel with them to the fishing lodge that they own in Sitka Alaska in June. It should be amazing! It looks beautiful there! I'm very excited! I will come back in August. I still haven't decided where to go to school. I WAS thinking that I would go to Hawaii again if I got this job, but even though I now know that I will be in Alaska for the summer, I still don't know if I want to come back. I am the most indecisive person I know.

But, it seems that things are finally working out and hopefully I will be done with all these decisions soon! Well, that is the latest! Love and miss you all!

March Madness-

Well, March has been even more crazy that February. The weeks are flying and I'm going to be done with this semester before I know it! I have been busy working, finishing midterms, and going to school activities. Work is going well. 2 weeks ago I saw a married couple, just a year older than me, that I went to school with while I was working at the luau at the PCC. Again yesterday, I ran into the brother of my friend Raimee from home. He recognized me before I recognized me! It really IS a small world! What are the chances! My job at the PCC is so easy it shouldn't be called work, but I make up for it at the Seasider Snack Bar. It's tought stuff, and I am learning for the first time how to cook all different kinds of eggs, and am again cooking hamburgers, sandwiches, fries. I had past experience from Rupe's. It's hard work, but it's okay. I am custodian one night a week there, so I DO have to get down and dirty. So, I have the best and worst jobs at college right now. haha. I went to the "BYUH Got Talent" the last couple weeks. It's supposed to be like "America's Got Talent"-the tv show. So all the talented people at school showed what they can do. Last semester we did a BYUH Idol-there were some AMAZING singers. So many people from all over the world, with so much TALENT! Our school is probably one of the most enthusiastic schools you will ever meet. People are singing, and dancing, and cheering, SO loud. Everybody get's into the program SO much! And the performers were AMAZING! Dancers, TONS of dancers and singers, from all over the world singing songs and dancing from all over the world. It's VERY entertaining. It's so awesome. My friends lip synced to Bon Jovie, and dressed up, not really a talent, but very entertaining. I haven't had much time for other things yet. Things are getting crazy with the end of the semester and projects and papers piling up. There is a Winter Ball in a few weeks, which is going to be held on a cruise ship! It will be awesome! I'm very excited! I think I will go even if I don't get a date, but I think it would be more fun with a date, so I'm crossing my fingers and winkin' at cuties on the way to class these days. haha. I'm still trying to decide where to go to school in the fall. I am looking at houses to live in for fall here, just in case. My friends and I want to live together so in order for that to happen, we need to find a place now. Laie has no apartments; students live in houses. It is very expensive-ranging from 375-450 for a shared bedroom. I guess that is Hawaii. I know that to have an entire apartment in Logan for a married couple (meaning only TWO people) is only 425 or so. I think this is ridiculous. The houses usually hold 5 girls also. And these houses are old, and not in very good condition. It's funny that the expense isn't enough to make my decision on where to go to school. I still don't know. STill writing pros and cons, still praying. If anyone gets a revelation on where I am supposed to be, let me know. Also, I am not sure what I am going to be doing for the summer. If I am going to attend here again in the fall I need to make alot of money this summer in order to survive, so I was thinking about nannying somewhere. I don't really want to be gone for the summer if I am going to be gone for another school year though! I want to be close to home so I can enjoy being around everyone. If I go to Utah State, I don't mind if I go away for the summer, but I don't really need to because I won't need to be putting away so much money. I have talked to a few families that are interested in hiring me, but nothing is set in stone. I have recently been talking to a family that wants me for May to July in Alaska at a fishing lodge that they own to take care of their kids, and possibly work at the lodge after I finish nannying if I choose. Alaska would definitely be the opposite of here! I am not sure though. More praying to do. If anyone has input on job ideas let me know please! Chelsea here is a mess with all of this decision making! Those are the things that have been going on with me, crazy as always, alot too. I'll keep you updated on any changes-if I ever decide on anything! Miss and love you!
