lanikai

last saturday, may 30th. suuuuuch a nice day.


the bf really isnt great at capturing the right moments. and im really great at looking akward. 24 weeks and 6 days.



and now we are sunburned.

:]

i can see her(i still feel really weird saying 'her'. i usually say 'it') moving around. little punches and kicks maybe? its kind of neat but now i feel sorta guilty like everytime i feel it i should stop what im doing and look at my stomach, haha.
other updates, now when i lay on my back you can still tell i have a belly. before it pretty much disappeared and looked like a regular stomach. took these pictures a couple days ago. im half way there...

im losing my belly button :/

ohhh and went to the beach last weekend after we signed a 6 month lease on this studio by the beach. we have our own walled/fenced in grassy yard with a little covered lanai :] move in on the 2nd i think.

last night i decided i wanted to do something outdoors and active today. although i couldnt get keli out of bed till a little after 1pm i decided i wanted to go to temple valley and see the temple. i had only been as a child so it was kind of like going for the first time. there were way too many people there. a tour bus actually came while we were there. dont like that.anyway, picture time.



amida, a golden buddha unique to the entire world. at over 18 feet tall its thought to be the largest figure carved since ancient times. you gotta take your shoes off before you come in...that i like.














figured i probably should get one of me


from the top of the cemetery

i didnt get a picture of the five foot high, three ton brass bell because there was always so many people around it. you strike it with a soft wooden log..it sounds really nice. i also took two polaroids that i'll upload later.

z river~

i think this is our little weekend ritual. we get up sometime after 2 or 3, roll a couple joints, grab my camera, and head down to the river. sometimes the bb gun comes along.
keli is on a tadpole kick right now so we got about 9 more today. i dont know if it was the weed or what but i was in heaven down there. it is so pretty. so many chill spots. i kept thinking about fern gully. i wanted to be tiny and skip across the water, flutter around in the leaves. i wanted to be a fish. i was christa for halloween one year...good times. anyways...here are the pictures :]







very serious stuff

alright, a recap.

okayyyyy lets see, its saturday today. dinner with the fam on christmas eve went well although i basically went all the way out there to eat french fries. christmas morning was good, i got a dustbuster! woohoo! no seriously, it was on my xmas list. went back to kelis and spent the rest of the day/night there. everyone came over in the evening and played the new wii. end scene. friday, i didnt have to work! awesome. slept in a bit a little before 6 me and kel decided to go to the mall to get a soft pretzel, or actually a hot dog on a stick. anyway, its all stormy and shit, were driving around trying to find parking. were under the parking structure thing and all the lights go out. and the radio in the car. ok, powers out. it is hard as fuck to drive in pitch black with the assfuck of people milling about, btw. on the way home we stop at jack in the box because we are still basically starving. we are next in line at the drive thru and guess what? power goes out. like, all of kaneohe. go home, have blackout party. no not really we just slept and smoked and did some of the '420 things to do while youre stoned' from The Official High Times Pot Smoker's Handbook, that i bought keli for christmas. woke up early today due to early bedtime the night before. me and kel went down to the river to smoke a bowl and check things out.

theres this pretty hardcore tree house.

bamboo that looks a lot greener in real life


ok i went a little crazy trying to get a good picture of all the little tadpoles in the water. i just wanna squish em their so cute! some of these happened to come out kinda cool with the leaves in the water and the reflection of leaves above.


some rocks :]





more tadpoles, different part of the river






slippahs


i was squatting, these is mah boots :]

keli :] one day i'll catch him smiling...


after the river i went to ben franklin to get supplies for kelis half-ass birthday present (his bday is jan 1st). pictures from that in the next post. ta-ta.
