I Have Returned!

Yes, I'm back! It's certainly been a while, hasn't it? Let me give you a brief recap of what's been going on...

From May 13th to the 23rd I was in California! Got to stay and have lots of fun with Paul and his wife Lee and his step-daughter, Connie; also got to meet Mark and his family along with meeting and staying with a lovely young Christian family. Did soooooo much that it's hard to know where to start... drove around Hollywood and saw such places like the Stars Walk of Fame, Graumann's Chinese Theatre, Bel-Air, Kodak Theater, Capitol Recording Company building, the Hollywood sign, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive and some plush housing areas. Nope, didn't see anyone famous. :P Also visited the Getty Museum which was really cool; LOTS of famous art painting, drawings, manuscripts, and sculptures.

We not only visited the Los Angeles area but also looked around Palm Springs and Santa Barbara a bit as well as going down to San Diego. Went to several 'parks' like Universal Studios (WOOHOO!), Wild Animal Park, San Diego Zoo, and Sea World and also took a tour around "Old Town" of San Diego. Even got to go to Coronado Island where the famous Hotel Del Coronado is (the famous hotel where the movie Some Like It Hot starring Jack Lemmon, Marilyn Monroe, and Tony Curtis was filmed).

Basically, everywhere was fantastic and I could go on and on. :P My pictures are still in Naomi's computer so when I get them all transferred to my computer, I promise to put up pictures. ^_^

Just after we got back,. then my parents and Aunt Doreen arrived in Honolulu then on Friday we all flew to the Big Island for my Aunt Jean's wedding. It was a really beautiful wedding and both Naomi and I got to be bridesmaids. We got our hair and make-up done "professionally" which was really cool. :P Again, will promise to put up pictures. Most of the time was spent with the wedding 'party' including many of the relatives of both Aunt Jean and Reed.

This morning we visited a church pastored by the pastor who did the wedding ceremony. He was a really nice man; from New Zealand originally! It was a really nice service and we all loved being able to be in the service. We were able to get an earlier flight back to Honolulu so instead of around 7:30 or so we got back around 4:30. Sooo nice! :P

Most all of us took naps since we were pretty exhausted from the busy weekend. Had a nice relaxing Taco Bell take-out for dinner then watched Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. It was my parents and Naomi's first time to watch it! SUCH a good movie... simply hilarious and I can't get over how cool of a character Gromit is even though he's just a clay character!

Off to bed now; good'night to all! Will get pictures up as soon as I can! What pictures do you want to see exactly? Just to get an idea of what you want to see and what I should put up. ^_^
