i made myself a promise when i got on that last airplane to hawaii. i told myself that i was getting on and never looking back. and ever since i've gotten off that airplane and stepped out onto this beautiful state i've had a huge smile on my face that i can't seem to get rid of :)
as i headed to baggage claim i waited for my two suitcases to come down the carousel. i got my first bag without any problem. then the second one comes around and of course, it is completely surrounded by other suitcases and high up. i make an attempt to grab it but there was no way it was happening. embarrassing. yes i was that girl that couldn't get her bag. the girl i normally laugh at at the airport. i then thought out a strategic plan of how i was going to get it when it came around the second time, bc i knew if i missed it this time i might as well just give up. it comes around, and after walking almost halfway around following it and trying to grab it i was finally successful! i then turn around to see that my other luggage was gone. after a quick few panicking moments i then saw steven and rachel around the corner laughing. relieved, i ran up to them and gave them the biggest hugs. i was so unbelievably happy to see them.
the rest of the day consisted of me getting moved in to my amazing new house. and seeing tons of friends that i haven't seen in 5 months. overjoyed. i honestly have not felt so great in months. my cheeks hurt from all this smiling, but i'm not complaining :)
went for a walk on the beach last night with rachel. even though i've already lived here for a year yet i am still so amazed by the beauty of this place. today has been filled with some quality beach time. i have turned a quality shade of red. success. i also went to walmart and costco to stock up on lots of stuff. driving around this amazing island is just breathtaking. i have the greatest friends here :) i love just sitting out on our porch with rachel playing guitar and singing. that's something that i have missed so much.
well i'll update more later, but there's a quick version of everything.
