i got in the pool for the first time in 6 weeks today, and i'm still smiling. i even did a few lengths : ) turns out i like the water - who would have thought! i really hope i'm not done with it...
got back to hawaii a.ok, spending thursday with brenda before she went to mississippi or something like that for 5 months or something. just layed out on the beach all day and of course being the cautious responsible girl that i am, applied plenty of sunscreen, but i guess i didn't get everywhere because that night i had the sorest patches just above my armpits...so now i look like i've had a bad reaction to deoderant : ! typical : ) there is a lesson in this people, always sunscreen your pits!
it's been a bit of a stress readjusting, i left home with so much peace like you couldn't even imagine about life and the future and this year and friends and water polo just like, have no idea what's going on but i know it's going to be good. thats a lot harder to walk out once you get to the place where nothing is for certain for real! so we applied for a place that's really cool and the guy was really nice about it all and was like, you're the only ones we're considering and bla bla bla and then friday afternoon he calls saying that someone else has applied and they'll probably go for them so we should look for somewhere else. the same day one of the girls we're supposed to be living with was like, if we don't get this place i'm going back on campus. so that leaves us as yet to find out if we are 4 peeps, 3, or 2. and gutting, love the girl but a bit rude to be like yea yea yea na but that's life i spose. everything will work out it always does though - just have to keep reminding yourself of these things! and then have been really sad - i keep getting excited that school is about to start so everyone will be coming back soon but then remember that so many people aren't coming back and get sad. but then yesterday i got to talk to kezia and alyssa - totally cried : ) and hung out with barry and liz and mark last night so that was really good too. and juliana is coming over next week so i'm totally kidnapping her.
church this morning was SO good. got to catch up with a few peeps and there will be the women's conference on when coralee is here on Moloka'i (another island) so i'm totally guna try to convince her that we should totally go because it will be amazing.
and that's it, taking it all one step at a time, remembering that just because circumstances change, promises of peace don't. it's still there, it's just up to me to stand on it.
ok that's me for today.
love love
