Here is the thing, I NEED to raise kids in Hawaii.

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”- Steve Jobs

After General Conference today I was talking to my dad on the phone, this is how our conversation went.

Dad-"So what are you doing the rest of the day?"
Carlie- "We having a potluck at out house"
Dad- "With boys?"
Carlie- "Yes..."
Dad- "You need to make something good"

Like every southern girl knows, the he way to a boys heart? His stomach.

Well done Mom and Dad. Well done.

True story. 

Jumps, raves, and tubs.

Its currently 2am and as I was about to doze off I thought it was vital that I blog about the events of today. I started my day with my one class from 8:40 to 9:40. Then I came home, made my self a peanut butter banana sandwich. Have I lost you? It gets better. Then I headed over to Hukilou which is a relatively nice local beach.  We laid out, swam, and played Frisbee. When we got back Matt decided we should go jump off the point. So Amanda and I hastily joined him. This is a video of some unknown person jumping just so you get an idea of what I'm talking about.

My house is literally across the street from this. My view is of the other side of the point. After I jumped I was trying to get up onto the shelf below to climb back up, I was swimming and swimming for a good 30 seconds and not moving anywhere. For about 10 seconds of that time my life was flashing before my eyes. But I successfully made it up. Afterward our fearless leader Matt shared that he had never jumped when the waves were that big before. We can back hot tubed for a bit then went and got Subway for dinner. Next we had some people over and watched the dumbest movie I have ever seen, Shark Night. After that a few of us decided to go to this house music rave dance at the school. It turned out to be crazy fun! Fog machines, lights, strobes, the whole nine yards. We didn't stop dancing the entire time! It was all a little trippy, I can't imagine what that would have been like had I been on drugs...After that we went and got Slurpees and hot tubed! I'd say it was a pretty eventful noteworthy day.
