I can remember the big stuff though. My brother got married, and now they are expecting their first baby! I graduated! I got a dog! My high school Church choir went to Hawaii for choir tour!
All of these were pretty big things. I won't ever go back to high school. I will have Rori for many, many years. But Hawaii was probably one of the most amazing things I will have done this year. I had heard a plethora of different opinions on Hawaii, both good and bad. I had seen an abundance of pictures, mostly of blue waters, flowers, and palm trees, but nothing could have prepared me for just how beautiful it was.
I live in Texas, and I lived in Missouri before. They both have their pros and cons, and Hawaii has it's pros and cons as well. However the moment we got off that plane we were assaulted by the most magnificent fragrance I have ever smelled in my life! and it just got better from there.
This was where we were staying. We held a sports camp and VBS here for three days of our trip. We also had a community outreach, a homeless ministry, and a mission project.
This was the view from the church we had our first worship service at.
We went the the Polynesian Cultural Center. It was amazing!
We got to go to a traditional Luau.
They had these really delicious smoothies in hollowed out pineapples.
We also got to the the Pearl Harbor Memorial. That was one of the most emotional things I have ever been to. A lot of those boys weren't much older than I am.
We have something on Choir Tour called Senior Night, where the seniors get to go with our choir director and do something none of the others get to do. We went on a Navitek Dinner Cruise. We then tried to convince everyone that we had actually gone to a goat farm. It would have worked but one of the sponsors spoiled our fun by telling everyone what we really did.
We also got to make our own leas.
Here are some more beautiful pictures from Oahu.
