Hmm.. I have a problem

So I have somehow created 2 blogs and my most recent posts are on the other one which is bkedman.blogspot. so to get the most recent posts check out that one. Is there a way to combine them???

Catamaran Cruise

Kylie,Ariel, Janelle, Kahi and I did this last weekend. We left from Ala Moana blvd. We chilled and listened to music with our diet cokes as the sun was setting and obviously took a lot of pictures. I think our captain was a little buzzed:) We didn't get lost at sea and made it home safe!

The weekend

Saturday I ran in a 5k. It was called the Camp Smith Grueler in Honolulu. Kahi had asked if I wanted to run in it. She signed me up since it was at her work. The race started at 7am. There I was at the starting line with all the military men and women. The announcer said there was a 9 year old in the race and a 65 year old. That boosted my confidence about not getting dead last. There were a few others who were just friends of the military people, like me. The weather was a perfect overcast, cool morning. All 200 of us bunched up at the starting line. I made sure I started close to the front so i would stay in the front! The trail was all uphill the first half and then mostly downhill the last half. I got 2nd place in my age group (20-24). My time was 25:32. The fastest girl got 21min or something. Which means I was about the 6-10 fastest female. They announced my name. I walked up and shook the Sergeant's hand and got a picture with him! They had bananas and oranges and gatorade for us after the race. I was really glad I did it! Kahi and I spent the rest of our saturday at Costco and Walmart.

Yesterday I went to Kahi's ward again. Since it was 5th Sunday RS and Priesthood met together. Kahi and I sat in the back eating an orange while he was telling us about respecting and keeping the church buildings clean. Then thejuice from the orange dripped on the hymn book. Whoopsie! After church I talked to Amy outside of Kahi's house. I was sitting on some steps looking at the mountains and the scenery and thought how pretty it was. I took pictures of Robson, Kahi's brother and Jerris his girlfriend at the temple yesterday. Robson should be getting his mission call this week! We all think he is going to go to Canada where there are choke (a lot) howlies and so he can see Justin Bieber's hometown or England where they speak proper. He always speaks pidgon and is hard to understand sometimes so we always tease him about that. We watched shark week and played some games and then Uncle Sonny made apple pie turnovers. They were delicious. Kahi and I felt so guilty for eating them we woke up at 7 this morning to do a kettle bell workout. I just got out of class and have SO much homework. Two presentations this week! We are playing soccer today at 4 unless it rains, which is likely... Anyways I have my physical tomorrow and just lots of homework! Oh and by the way I am keeping my eyes open for a US Women's Soccer poster so if anyone knows where I could get one, let me know!

Love you!

808 update

I was planning on going to the beach today, but it was soo cloudy! Due to bad weather conditons (more rain) we took the day off for soccer, so me and a few other girls went to the fitness center and did our own workout. Mich and I have been filling out our forms for physicals coming up on August 1st! All the athletes have to get them and they usually take about an hour so I'm glad they gave us the paper work ahead of time because that's what usually takes the longest.

Tonight I am going to Kahi's and the fam is helping Vanston make shave ice somehwere. I don't know all the details but I wanted to help.

Tomorrow I am running in a 3 mile race with all the military men and women at Kahi's work. Kahi and I are leaving at 4am and the race is at 7 but it takes an hour to get to town and then she is working the race which means we have to be there early. Me and four of my friends had planned a catamaran cruise, but I just found out the boat has not finished inspection so it is pushed back to next week! So I guess we'll just stay in town and go to Waikiki or something!

Last night I talked to Beau on the phone! I called around 10:30p.m. He had a lot of people over at his house so it wasn't a long conversation. It was good to hear his voice! I am really excited that he's home and hope that we can skype soon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA TOMORROW!!

Love you

Britt

This is the day Kahi went through the temple! Pu'uwai, Quaylee and I were taste testing the stew to make sure it was good before everyone came out! The last pic is of her cousin, Ku and her sister Pu'uwai.

The New Condo!

So this is the condo! I love coming home. It feels like a beach house. I'll get more pics up of the outside. The beach is right in the backyard! For the past week it's just been me and mich (Kim) because natalie is staying with her family at Turtle Bay and there's no fourth roommate yet!

Back in Hawaii!

I wanted to keep my family updated while Im in Hawaii, but most of the time I don't post everything on facebook and here it will just be for family and close friends. I'll keep you updated on when my games are coming up, how school is going and everything else. This is a way just to be more personable with people Im the closest to.

I have now been in Hawaii since July 14th. The first week I stayed with my "Hanai" (adopted) family, the Ah Pucks. I have been at the beach, spending time with her family and going to work with Kahi. She works at the military base called Camp Smith in town. I was able to see what she does at work. We also got to use the facilities which was my favorite part. That included the pool, weight room and rec. center. We spent our days working out, watching movies in the theatre, playing ping pong and going to the beach. One morning I dropped her off at work and decided to spend a day in Waikiki by myself. It was beautiful!

I have been going to church with the Ah Pucks for two weeks now and I love it. Kahi and I teach the young women. The 7th and 8th grade girls. I would really love to stay in this ward and mentor these girls because young womens single handedly made a difference in my life. I know what its like to be a teenager and not being sure of yourself or not really know where your testimony is and young womens really made an impact in my life. I want them to have the same, good experience that ultimately led me to where I am today.

Before church 2 weeks ago Kahi's family and I watched the final game for the US Women's Soccer team. Luckily church started at 12 so we got to watch the whole game! Her family likes to be 30min early to visit and feel the spirit. I really like that because I have time to read my scriptures and just think about the week and get in a good mindset.

Kahi's mom and dad are my young single adult teachers. They give amazing lessons and its nice to be in their with Kahi and her brother.

On Sunday Kahi received her endownment at the Laie temple. I was so grateful to be included with her family on that day. It was a hectic morning. I dropped Pu'uwai, Kahi's sister, off at basketball practice, went home and got ready then picked her up and drove back to their house. Since we couldn't go inside the temple we were in charge of bringing all the food to the temple grounds to celebrate afterwards. Me and her brothers ad sisters were hurrying to get the food ready and also their two nephews. We got their at 11:00am and they came out around 11:45. Her family and friends were there to celebrate with her!

Last week Thursday it was back to classes! I am taking two hard classes. Applied social statistics and English 315.

I am so excited for my senior year. Not only to graduate but to have an amazing soccer season! This is the light at the end of the tunnel! Wow, I almost have BYU Hawaii under my belt!

I have been preparing and working hard for two-a-days, but I think last week I pushed it too far. Over the weekend I was so fatigued and extremely tired.

Last night I was laying in my bed thinking about Grandpa and just miss him being in my life. But I know he is always with me enjoying the beach and all. I'm really going to need him and Heavenly Father these next couple weeks with two-a-days coming up.

I love you all so much! Talk to you soon!
