    Summer is here and I’m working on it

    June 26, 2019 / 0 Comments

    As I predicted at the end of my spring post, I am still a mess. In some ways I'm still the same mess and in other ways I am a new mess. I'm still working on many of the same things I was three months ago, but have fixed many of them and made progress on others. I'm still a mess, but as I hoped, I am a slightly happier mess.

    Where to get the Best Poke on Oahu?

    June 19, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Poke (pronounced POH-KAY) dates back to the ancient Hawaiians who would feast on freshly caught fish massaged with sea salt, seaweed and crushed inamona or kukui nuts. Since then poke has grown and evolved, in some circumstances, drastically. As immigrants from all around the world, and especially places like China and Japan, began arriving in Hawaii, new flavors began to shape poke. While the more traditional Ahi poke is made with tuna, shoyu (soy sauce), sea salt, green onions, Maui onions and limu, visit any poke shop in Hawaii today and you can find a wide array of flavors and options including kimchee shrimp, furikake salmon, miso tako (octopus), pipikaula…

    10 Years

    June 9, 2019 / 14 Comments

    This Tuesday (6/11) marks the 10 year anniversary of my high school graduation. The ending of one chapter and the start of a new. For everyone, their high school graduation means change and new beginnings. It's one of the many stepping stones into adulthood. For me it marked the beginning of the end in many ways, and that sounds much more dramatic than I intended, but I can't think of a better way to say it. This wasn't just the closing of my childhood chapter and beginning of my adulthood one, it was the first nail in the door to my childhood. Before the calendar year would end my life…

    Eaton Canyon Falls

    June 1, 2019 / 0 Comments

    My husband and I have finally, after over five months in California, started hiking again. In just the past few weeks we have tackled five different trails starting with Eaton Canyon Falls. Located in Altadena, CA, Eaton Canyon Falls Trail is a fairly easy and relatively short trail. Listed at about 3.5 miles, I tracked it at about 4 miles round trip and it took my husband and I about 2.5 hours to complete, including the time we spent at the falls.

Tomorrow is the first day of fall and every summer I try to do my favorite hike, The Bridge to Nowhere. 

This summer time got away from me and as we approached the final weekend of the season I still had not hiked to my favorite spot. So @ge_rar_doh and I had no choice but to spend last Saturday deep in Azusa Canyon.

11 miles, 7 hours, and 6 water crossings 🌞

Cannot stand sitting in traffic but I will take a Cannot stand sitting in traffic but I will take a road trip any day. Love traveling to brand new places, taking back roads, and exploring tiny hidden treasures in towns you never knew existed. Nothing beats a road trip, whether you're driving 4 hours or 4 days.

Live music is magic. Live music brings me back to Live music is magic. Live music brings me back to life. And live music touches you in a way that I can't really describe...that all sounds super cheesy and over blown but that's exactly how I feel.

@falloutboy is my favorite band. Have been for over 15 years. Their music means so much to me and their songs have gotten me through so many things. From big memories to small so many of their songs can transport me back to a vivid moment in time.

I could go on and on and never find the right words to express what last night was like for me or what this band means to me, so I'll spare you a long ramble and instead I'll just share this clip that oddly enough made me tear up 🥹 since I can't share anything else because my horrible scream singing covers up everything else.
