Hawaii Living: November 2012

As I sat down to write this, I stopped to collect my thoughts. But all I could hear was the sound of the rain hitting the puddles and smell the wonderful scent of rain hitting wet pavement. That smell always reminds me of Texas rainstorms.
So much has happened in these past twelve days, it is almost impossible that I wont leave something out. So I will attempt at a very good recap. The highlights.

I cant actually remember the day, it was last friday I believe. We all went to sunset beach to watch the sunset. Peter actually wanted to take a picture with me, shocker.

If you know my brother, you know he is terrified of holding, looking, touching, or even seeing babies. Who is the world knows how Franco got Peter to hold baby Eva. But needless to say it is a miracle.

Nicia decided she wanted to be Princess Leia/Helga warrior woman. Props to me for the wonderful hairdo.

Last friday we went surfing at turtle bay, and peter made me use Franco's shorter board. I only caught two waves on my knees. The board was so slippery because I didnt put wax on it...oops.

Spending time with little angle is the highlight of my week.

Andrew chugging a whole gallon of root beer float.

Me and my girl Kassie at the IIPP Banquet. Yeah we have manners.

Pedicures in town!!! It has been too long.

Cutest baby girl alive. Eva.

I have decided boys are too much to handle right now. So this is my new boyfriend. Beautiful isnt he??

Haleiwa State Park Beach. So pretty.

To the left is Andrew eating again. But this time its cheesecake. To the right is my friend Ian and the poster we made for him to ask my roommate Justine to the fall ball!!

Lastly I dont have a picture, but today for a good five hours, I helped out at a bake sale to help the relief effort for Hurricane Sandy. We made $820, so crazy but had so much fun with really cool girls!

Well, it is getting late, so goodnight:)

Stay Sweet,

Abby

This week just flew by! I can not believe it is already the weekend! For halloween Peter, Nicia, Amanda, Kaitlyn and I went to Waikiki for some halloween partying. I couldnt think of a good costume and had been Harry Potter, so cowgirl it was!

Here we are at a dance party on the strip in Waikiki. I ran into a few kids from school, a short hello was all that was needed, because it was time to party!

Nicia and Amanda were feeling some good old ice cream... and we couldn't turn another halloween photo shoot now could we!?!

This is my Best Friend. Her name is Vanessa. Snapchat screenshot at its finest. Miss this girl like Crazy.

Nicia couldn't resist this beauty...yummy yummy.

Waikiki. Tons of People. Insane costumes.

Flash back from the past. My sister Caity and me, dressed up for halloween manyyyyyy years ago. I was probably 2 1/2 years old and Caity was Probably around 7. Man we were cute.

One of the sketchiest things I saw all night. Seeing people move around in the back and cops come surround was a sight to see!

Meanwhile, at home my family is cleaning up the destruction from hurricane Sandy. My poor family didn't have power for 5 days,( not too bad) 6 trees down, including one that took out our deck, almost crashed through the house into my room, shattered my windows. My parents hands are full of chopping trees, becoming lumber jacks. Needless to say, we will never need anymore fire wood.

I dragged Nicia to come to the Institute of International Professional Protocol with me. We get to go to the banquet tonight and socialize with tons of successful business men and women. It's good experience and looks great on your resumé. I snapped this beauty when we were in a "how to look presentable" class. Nicia has it down to a tee.

So there are tons of pictures below of a sunset. On saturday after some IIPP classes, we all decided we should go watch the sunset on Sunset Beach. It is literally one of the most beautiful things you will ever witness. I couldnt stop taking pictures.
