20

So I turned 20 on Saturday.  WUHOOO!  wow I'm old.
Seth is my birthday twin and so we had a party :)

this is Seth

We had a Friday night pizza party! (this is why I bought the bell peppers and pineapple at the farmers market)
I thought we were going to do it on Saturday because some of the boys had conflicts on Friday, but I was wrong.  It's a good thing it was raining, or I would have gone surfing and missed the call from Bree "do you have sauce?"  Oh- that's today, got it.

Some of the girls got stuck in town- the H3 was closed because of rain, and our party that started at 6....actually started around 7:20.  Which is good because I hadn't cut everything up yet.

We made pizza and it was fantastic.  Thank you mom, for sending me the recipe for the dough.  :)

 We rolled the dough....








Rommel took pictures, until he decided to meet up with a girl <insert oohs and aaahs>, the result? 
Fantastic documentation....for the first part.  :D

 
We cut veggies and cooked bacon-

A small game of ninja was played

 

 We played durok while we waited

 Alayna is right- I make weird faces. 

 We put toppings on the pizzas---

These

yummy.

Best

idea

ever.

sorry for the picture overload....but they're so fun.

After quite a while, the girls who were stuck in town got home.  I made breadsticks.  We argued about what movie to watch and it was FINALLY decided that we would watch "The Book of Eli" (edited version, borrowed from the Aloha Center).  We went to Nate's house and watched it.  This movie is mind-blowing.  Apparently we are really glad it was edited, but Denzel Washington....yeah, cool movie.  

The movie ended and...

I was 20!!!

My first act as a 20-year-old....

I walked home in the rain.

Got sung to by my roommates and their friends and ate a cookie.  :)

Then I did dishes.  I'm serious.  It sounds funny, but I did. 

I woke up to rain.  It was lovely.

I went running on the beach.  Since it has been so stormy the last few days there was a lot of debris on the beach, including a dead turtle.  Like- a turtle skeleton.  It sounds gross, I guess it is, but it was also kinda cool.

Then the post office opened, so I went and retrieved my package.  :)

I wrote a few papers and turned them in.  

I skyped my family! and opened presents.  :D :D :D  you guys are so good to me.  really. 

TOOLS! I was so excited!                     A card, telling me I'm old.                Cute Picture frames.

And then....

 this happened.... YOU SNEAKY MOM!

 What the heck? 

 This is a GoPro- because you all think I am going to be a professional surfer  ;)

Now I feel obligated to have super cool adventures and tell you all about them....and do you know what this means???
EVEN MORE PICTURES!!!!! but not today.

I finished writing my history paper and then went surfing with my wavestorm that I put together on Thursday.  :)  I put it together with a spoon. I didn't have any tools at this point.  :D

Was the water dirty?  yes
Is my board really slick because I just unwrapped it?  yes
Do I have any pictures? next time
How did I get there?  I walked
Isn't it like a mile away? so...
Was it a perfect day for surfing?  absolutely not.
Am I glad I went? yes.
Did I see a turtle? twice.  It was super cool.  I want to point out that I saw a dead AND a live turtle in 1 day.  I haven't seen any turtles here----ever.  It must be my birthday :D

I came home, made cookies, showered, and went to....
the last basketball game of the season.  I can't believe the season is over.  this is so not cool :( I feel like I haven't gone to any games.  Oh, that's because I haven't.  sadness.  But I went on my birthday, with these lovely ladies!

I am 20 years old.  I am both wise and naive.  I am both old and young.  I am bright and foolish.  I am the accumulation of who I was, who I am, and who I wish to be. I am loved. I am good.  I am happy. Life is wonderful.  You are wonderful. 

my roommates think this is the perfect representation of my personality
exactly as I am

the end

ALOHA!
