a summer of possibilities

I am WAY behind on blogging, and I've got so much I want to post about, but I'm going to have to do it one post at a time...

It's been pretty busy here lately in the Stephan household. We've started Summer Term A, which means cramming many 3 credit courses into six weeks--I thought it would be a nightmare, but it's actually not that bad when you like your classes :)

Anyway, David and I have been busy bees! We had family visit us for a whole week! David and I were looking forward to his fambam coming here; it's sad that the week has passed, but we get to see them very soon, so it's all G.

Here's the list of things we did/ things we ate while they were here:
 Duke's
Went to the USSR Arizona Memorial
Cheeseburger Paradise
Costco trip!!
Honolulu Cookie Company
Hilton village
Random little Japanese sushi place (yum)
 Chicken Katsu, made by yours truly
Haleiwa Eats
Haleiwa Joes (prime rib, mud pie)
Hukilau Cafe
Turtle bay Italian restaurant
Snorkeling at Tbay
Mangoes!
Swap meet
Chill
 



She spun me round and round and round and round! ....and then I couldn't walk straight haha


 The view from the Hilton Village was absolutely breathtaking. Whether it be morning, or night :)



At the memorial 


Dav and his papa matched all week with their mustaches. I just had to take pics to compare them.

Looking at all this food is making me drool!

My dinner: Teriyaki beef with mash taters

It disappeared within seconds...

wish I could eat here every morning...
but then again I'd probs be like 1000 pounds 


oh, did I mention we have a truck?
yes, a very very old rusty truck named: cool-aid
David fixed her up, and she drives oh-so smoothly to wherever we need to go :)

Man, I miss the fam so much already. 
BUT guess what? we get to see them in just about three weeks!

 And guess what else?? MY parents are coming in a WEEK! 
I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait. I can't wait. I can't wait.
