HI

Well hello again! I'm back! And kind of sad to tell you the truth. Hawaii was awesome, unfortunately I don't have a charger for my camera so I couldn't take any pictures, but I will tell you everything that went down.

The first week we were there the weather was actually pretty crappy, it rained for like 4 days haha. Didn't see the sun for a while and I was so discouraged/mad/disappointed. It was Emily's first time in Hawaii and I wanted to show her everything we do there when we go, but it's hard to when it's raining and cold. But we did sit in the hot tub and watched some movies and T.V. so it wasn't too bad I guess.

We rode bikes one day to the Coconut Marketplace and ate some pizza and a MASSIVE snowcone, and while we were there THE SUN CAME OUT!!! We were so stoked. So, we packed up all our stuff, got on our bikes, rode back to the condo, got our swimmingsuits, and peddled straight to the beach. That was an awesome day. Both Emily and I got FRIED! But we didn't care much, cuz the weather was AWESOME.

Then (I can't remember the exact days) one other day, Emily and I went to the ropeswing they have there, which is about 15-20 minutes away from the condo, and it was way fun. While standing there waiting for people to go, I was getting eaten alive by mosquitos. I couldn't stand there any longer, so....I jumped off the cliff, which was actually a waterfall, into the cool, fresh water. Oh and by the way, before I jumped in I saw a lil turtle pop its head up above the water, it was way cool. Then I was treading water for like 10 minutes trying to get Emily to jump off the cliff. It was so funny watching her stand up there looking down at the water. You could tell how hard she was thinking about it. There was several times where I thought she was gonna jump, because her body kind of jolted and she stopped looking at me, then she would look at me and laugh, haha such good times. I must have had 20 mosquito bites all over my body, some lady told me while I was on the cliff haha.

Well, we went to the beach everyday. No matter what we would go, even if it was for an hour or so. The ocean is so much fun to swim in. You can ask anyone who I have swimmed in the ocean with how hard I laugh when im diving under waves. I seriously cannot stop laughing when wave after wave is tossing me under the water. I would start laughing under water then when I came out I would look at Emily and Kobie and laugh even harder! Emily's head was always a mess when she popped out. All I would see is the back of her head and her trying to get her hair out of her face and the water out of her eyes, I was laughing so hard! Sometimes I couldn't breathe. One time Kobie's legs were flailing around out of the wave as it was tossing her and you can't help but laugh at that kind of stuff. I was dying!

Anyway, enough with the rambling. On one of the last days we went on a catamaran boat ride across the Napali Coast and that was seriously such a good time! We saw spinner dolphins and turtles, and we snorkeled and saw tons of fish. Ate some good food, drank some beverages, good time eh?

I could go on and on about this trip but I think you get the gist of it :) IT WAS THE BEST! Of course I loved going with my sisters, that trip probably comes in first, but this definitely was a close second. Mom and Dad, thanks for the awesome trip, and Em thanks for bein my co-pilot and joining me on this excursion.
Tune in again,
Borris

Aloooooooooha!!

Hawaii here we come, hope you are ready for us. I am so excited to go to Hawaii. It really is one of the greatest places on earth, besides Lake Powell of course. Soakin up some rays, swimming in the ocean, bein with people you love, seeing palm trees everywhere, eating good food always, sounds pretty neat to me. If you wanna souvenir.....TOOO BAAADD! But maybe you'll get one if I think about ya :) Anyway this is a pretty pointless post, but my blog needed an update so there you have it. Love you all, tune in again and maybe you will see some pictures of strangers walkin around in speedo's or something :) you can always find some interesting people wandering the beach.

Father Dearest

Well what a wonderful day eh? I am finally updating my blog and what a better thing to talk about then my dad.
My dad is AWESOME! I have always been a daddy's girl. He and I were inseparable! We'd go fishing together, ride bikes together, hey dad remember when you had that lil seat for me on the back of your bike and I would just chill there while you would bike around? That was the best. We would play catch together, he taught me how to pitch for softball, he has taught me everything I know, literally. I know now what I am looking for for in an eternal companion because of my dads example and how much he loves my mom. He is the most caring person, he truly never thinks about himself, always about others. His testimony of the gospel is unbelievable, every time he talks about the gospel you can see in his eyes how much he loves it, and I couldn't be more grateful to have that in my home 24/7.
Dad this is a shout out to you, I love you. (I'm gettin teary just thinkin about it) You have been the best dad anyone could ask for. You've supported me in all I do and have done and for that I am forever grateful. Thanks dad for bein you, and making me laugh. Your optimism is the best, such a good example. I am so glad Heavenly Father put me into your arms, I am so happy I get to spend eternity with you dad. You're amazing and I LOVE YOU! Happy fathers day!
Also a little shout out to my brothers and brothers-in-law, you guys are the best! Chad, Jake, Shawn, and B, what great dads. I love watching you bein a dad! Sometimes its funny, but most of the time its sweet. I get to see the tender side to you guys and I love it. Such cute lil dads :) I love you guys! Happy fathers day to you too!

I Love You

Well today is a special day now isn't it? It's Mothers Day! Man oh man do I have a great mom. Just thinking about her puts a lil twinkle in my eye. She is the most amazing person, she has been through everything you can imagine and look how she turned out. So amazing, so strong, pretty dang funny, willing to do anything for anyone, in other words she couldn't be a better example to her family. Lately, in the past few years, I have seen our family grow closer together because of some of the things we have gone through and I couldn't be more proud of my mom and for everything she has sacrificed for her kids. This is a shout out to you mom and I THANK YOU for bringing me up in such a warm spiritual home with good values and strong family ties. I love you mom, I hope you know how much I appreciate everything you do for me.
Also a lil shout out to my sisters and sisters in-law. I love you guys, I love watching you mother your kids, tend to their every need, being so patient with them, looking into your eyes when you hold them and love them and kiss them, such a special bond you have with your kids. I hope one day I can become as good of mothers as you guys are. Farrah, Rachel, Jamie, and Angie, thanks for your examples and I hope you guys have a great mothers day. Don't forget, I'm always watching ;) haha
Another thing I thought of that ties into this day of mothers...I watched my nephews Lennon and Evan yesterday and I really had a lot of fun. Evan seriously makes me laugh, you cannot get mad at that kid, no matter what he does. He is just too cute, and Lennon, well he has a lil mind of his own. He is probably the easiest kid to watch, he will just chill. Lie on the ground for hours at a time rolling from toy to toy. They were a lot of fun, and I gotta say, I don't know how you mothers do that everyday! I was watching probably the 2 easiest kids to watch in the world and at the end of the day I was still EXHAUSTED! Yesterday I gained a lil bit more respect for you moms :) anyway, just thought I'd share and say I LOVE YOU MOTHERS IN MY LIFE!
love, borris

interesting personnel

Well since it is past 12:00 midnight its not cinco de mayo anymore, but yesterday was! And lucky for me I got the opportunity to work at Bajio Mexican Grill! Let me tell ya, everyone and their dogs were there! So many people came in, I was kind of freaking out, but it was awesome. Within all the chaos and running around I couldn't help but notice the very interesting people coming in.
1. A couple came in, they were made for each other. The girl was wearing a huge black t-shirt, some olive green pants hiking boots and her hair was a rats nest. The guy was wearing a full jean outfit, jean jacket and pants, and his hair was really long and extremely greasy. He was also very tall. When I rang them up I realized, wow this girl must be high or something, she was unusually twitchy and fidgety and she couldn't talk fast enough. The guy grabbed the tray and noticed there were no utensils on there, so he asked his girlfriend "do we eat this with utensils or just our hands" the girlfriend pointed to the utensils behind them. He grabbed the tray and, thank goodness, grabbed himself and his one true love some utensils. They probably really would have ate it with their hands, can you imagine? I thought about them eating their salads without utensils and laughed/gagged, not the prettiest sight.
2. An older man came in during the slow time, between 2:00 and 4:00, and I watched him open the door and enter, and he was seriously struggling to walk through the doorway. I was thinking to myself "oh great, we have a drunk on our hands" and sure enough, he was sooooo wasted! In the middle of the day! And he was not a bum, he was clean looking. I kind of smirked and laughed as he walked into the wall while entering the store. Just to give you a visual, he had peppered gray hair, white scruff, sunglasses, and sweatpants. I helped him through the cold table, asked him "would you like some cheese on your chimichanga?" I looked up and he got slightly excited and said "ooooooohhhh yaaaaaa" so I said "alrighty you got it, any sour cream?" then he got even more excited, and with the same monotone slurred voiced murmured "aaaahhhh mmmm yaaaaa pppuuuuut soooomeee oonn theerrrrree" so I did and rang him up on the register. His total was 10.27, he paid with a 5 dollar bill and the rest in quarters. He just kept pulling change out of his pockets, every pocket he had on his body was full of change. Mind you, this whole process is taking about 10-15 minutes, when it should only take 3-5 minutes, especially during the slow time. He kept giving me change, and I had to stand there smelling his rancid sour alcohol breath. He left GOT IN HIS CAR!!!!!! and drove away. Can you believe that? A guy, so unbelievably drunk getting in his car and driving! I was so mad. Next time he comes in, I am promising you all that I am going to call the police and get him under control, the idiot.

Well for now, that is all I got, and all that I can remember. I'm sure there were a ton more, but since it was so busy I couldn't pay full attention to any details. Sorry I write so much, but this is something I don't wanna forget, and I thought, people sometimes like stories, so I told you :) anyway enjoy and tune in again sometime.

I don't understand

One thing recently has reeeeeaaaally been bugging me. Why in the crap do people put pictures of themselves on facebook kissing their boyfriends/girlfriends? Do they think people enjoy seeing that? Or really think its "so adorable"? I think its cool that they really like each other, Im not gonna be the immature person who thinks its gross, cuz it doesnt really gross me out, it just bothers me. In all reality, no one wants to see those pictures. I'm just saying...
