Today I swam with turtles. We went up to the Northshore for a day trip, and while at the beach, curious sea turtles come up from under you and swim with you. It was so amazing.

Then we went on a hike to a waterfall through the jungle. wow wow wow.

then we swam under a waterfall. but on the way there we found a swim suit bottom... how do you just lose that??!?!?

And heres us being dominated by the waterfall

And my parents come to visit in less than 2 weeks!

But we got burned bad....

I have been here in Honolulu for 5 days now. Bought a ukulele and got a great deal on it. Learned some stuff on it already. Also got a job at a great, great local coffee shop. I really dig Hawaii, and I'm already considering taking a semester off to stay... maybe a bad idea?

Currently Listening 40 Acres By Caedmon's Call see related

Danny and I spent another late night over pancakes,
Talkin' 'bout soccer
And how every man's just the same
We made speculation
On the who's and the when's of our futures
And how everyone's lonely
But still we just couldn't complain

And how we just hate being alone
Could I have missed my only chance
And now I'm just wasting my time
By looking around
But you know I know better
I'm not gonna worry 'bout nothing
Cause if the birds and the flowers survive
Then I'll make it okay
I'm given a chance and a rock
see which one breaks a window
See which one keeps me up all night and into the day

Because I'm so scared of being alone
That I forget what house I live in
But it's not my job to wait by the phone
For her to call

Well this day's been crazy
But everything's happened on schedule
from the rain and the cold
To the drink that I spilled on my shirt
'Cause You knew how You'd save me
before I fell dead in the garden
And You knew this day
long before You made me out of dirt

And You know the plans that You have for me
And You can't plan the end and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace
Just to get me to sleep.

Whenever I feel terribly alone, I think of how lonely Derek Webb must have felt when he wrote this song, and how he had no idea who Sandra McCracken was at that time. But he ended up with her. And I have hope.
