Practically Suicide.


On tuesday and wednesday there was a full moon! In celebration, a friend invited me to go cliff jumping off the point! Little did I know, shark attacks occur most when theres a full moon. Yeah, I didn't know that until two days after. I was basically putting myself in a suicidal position, without the suicidal intentions. I had never jumped the point before, and doing it at night was very brave on my part because, well its night...so it's very dark (except the full moon helped a lot), and the waves are giant. I jumped anyway. I love the rush of excitement that I get when I cliff jump. It doesn't last very long but its so fun! This picture isn't of me, but I wanted to give you an idea of what it looked like! We actually went two nights in a row, but I only jumped the first night. The second night was a bit windier and the moon was behind clouds so it wasn't very bright. I just didn't have a very good feeling about it, so who knooows what would have happened had I jumped. It a gorgeous view though, even if you don't jump.

During the day is prime time for the beach...obviously. I spent a lot of time at the beach this week. I only have classes on tuesday and thursday so I went like every other day. This is me and Karla, she's from Chile. I love this girl to death. Me, her, and the three girls girls in this other picture hitchhiked to Sunset Beach on North Shore, then went to Ted's Bakery and
then came back to a beach closer to campus to just hang out and take pictures...the ones you see here! This is temple beach. There are three beaches within close walking distance of school...hukilau, temple, and bikini. Temple, the one we are at in these pictures, is my favorite
of the three. Hawaii beaches have practically ruined every other beach for me but thats ok haha but I guess as long as i'm at a beach in be ok!

So I have 8:00 church...yeah not so good. I slept over in my friend Emma's room the night before and accidentally slept through most of my ward. We like to call it a mental health day in the Theobald home. However, I ended up going to her ward that met at 12:00 but I only went to her sacrament meeting which was at 2. After church me and some friends walked over to the temple. We went to the visitors center and walked around for a bit and then watched the Joseph Smith movie...sooo good. We took some pictures (I'll have to post them later because I don't them right now) and then came back to eat dinner and hang out in the Hale's. Actually, I lied. After dinner we went to a fireside. Can you guess what it was on? Correct. Marriage and dating. Shocker. This fireside was actually pretty funny though. One of my favorite quotes was of this lady when she was introducing her husband who was the speaker. She said, "You never know who you've got until you've been married for a long time." I thought that was pretty funny. Not that I need to be thinking about marriage AT ALL, but I thought it was a good talk. After the fireside we went back to the Hale's and played some card games and all that good stuff. It was a good day.

I love Hawaii.
