The company was amazing, the feast was incredible, and we had a jolly good time together.

That night we drove all the way to Mililani to see Tangled too.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, I had to pick up my friends

Curtis Hansen & Clint Calder from the airport.

They spent Thanksgiving "roughing it" in Kauai.

We went into Waikiki and had dinner at CPK and saw all the pretty christmas lights!

We also had a fun beach day at Turtle Bay that Saturday.

We played some sand volleyball and soccer.

& ate some Ted's Bakery for lunch.. mmmmmmmm delectable!

The next weekend,

we found out that the school had spent $30,000 on this semesters

Fall Ball.

They were expecting 600 people

and only 97 had bought tickets the day before.

So we decided to convince a huge group to go.

To be honest, i've never even been asked to a dance. Ever. ha

and i've never been to a formal dance (besides my dance practicum for my social dance class)

I pretty much made Curtis and Clint be my dates haha.

and i saved a whole $3 because Clint bought his ticket with me

we were sort of a "fake couple".

The dance was actually really really fun.

we sang karaoke,

danced the night away,

and had a really good steak dinner.

It was definitely worth it!

I'm so glad i went!

I took a class called the "university chorale"

its the choir class that you don't have to tryout for.

(pre-mission decision, i was planning on taking this class, and then during winter semester tryout for concert choir..)

We had a concert, and these were our

Lovely Hawaiian Costumes =) =) haha

the concert was really fun. i loved the class,

i loved the costumes,

and i love singing, what could be better?

We took Christmas card pictures

and sent them out this weekend!

watch out!! you'll probs be getting one!!

6... count them.. SIX days left in my Hawaiian paradise home.

=( and =) i really don't know how to feel haha
