the rook

Fishing has always been a favorite pastime in my family, so it was important to me to take Kevin. It was a good bonding experience for Kevin and my family, and I'm so glad that he enjoyed it.

I had a gig on Saturday, May 30th in Kona until 7:30pm, so we rushed Lopaka to the airport and met my parents at Honokahau Harbor right after that. My grandpa, Uncle Guy and Uncle Duane had already been at the spot since 5:00pm that day. It was a loooooong 2-mile walk from the harbor, along the coastline, but well worth it! As soon as we arrived, we prepared our poles and started catching from the get go! I even caught an alahi on a hand pole with a piece of chicken from our bento (Dad forgot to pack some bait for the handpoles)! After that, the rest is history! We brought back almost a whole cooler of those little red suckers!

my year in a nutshell

It's been almost exactly a year since my last blog post. So many things have happened since then, and I can hardly believe that it's only been a year! Here's an update on my year in a nutshell...

Turned 28 and had the best birthday ever...Met my future husband...Caught a Mako shark...Produced my first MAJOR concert at the Waikiki Shell, sold it out, and SURVIVED!..Got my car banged TWICE while it was parked...Coordinated a one-month straight tour in Denver, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, Coos Bay, Bend, Las Vegas, Tacoma, Cerritos, Hungtington Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Agoura Hills, San Diego and Guam...Became a Maid of Honor...Started enjoying the IMPOSSIBLE game of golf...Saw a cousin get married...Fixed 6 cavities and had a root canal...Cooked my first Thanksgiving Butteryaki dinner...Produced my first C&K concert in Kona...Went to Vegas for the BJ Penn-GSP fight...Became a girlfriend...Dyed my hair red...Saw Boyz II Men in concert...Threw a 30th Birthday party...

And that's about it. I'm looking forward to keeping up with this blog (as I've said a million times before). But as I get older, I'm realizing the importance of documenting life. Being able to read about past experiences and re-live those moments are becoming more and more important to me. I've got another busy few months coming up, and I definitely want to keep writing about those experiences too. This year I'll be traveling to Japan twice, throwing 3 concerts at the Hawaii Theatre and coordinating a Golf Tournament. Work is definitely keeping me busy, but I feel blessed to be so busy in this shaky economy. Until next time...

Keep Dancing!
