Love is in Stiles

Life has been outstanding! We have been living in Hawaii for almost 3 months now.  No trace of island fever! We absolutely love it!  We have both been crazy busy. Kelsey and I are both taking 17 credits. Kelsey is tutoring at the local elementary school on Tuesdays and is staying busy. She is going to graduate with a degree in History, while completing all of the pre-reqs for physical therapy school. I was on the committee that put on the “Great Ideas” competition (students submit business ideas, then discuss them with professionals from different fields).  I also have gotten involved in the group SIFE (Students In Free Enterprise). It does work in international social entrepreneurship. I switched my major to Business-Finance. This moves my graduation back a semester to April of 2013. But lets get real, is another 4 months in Hawaii really that bad?  We are really enjoying it here. Our schedule is basically classes and schoolwork Monday-Friday all day, and most of the evening. We try to squeeze a beach trip in if school isn’t too crazy during the week, but its not quite as frequent. Every Saturday we go play at the beach, all day! Kelsey’s brother Burke, and his family live in Honolulu, so we meet them at beaches around the island, then usually head over to their house for games after a long day at the beach, it is really nice having family here. They have been very welcoming to us, and we have all enjoyed hanging out!  Kelsey and I got surfboards a month or so ago, and we have been practicing, getting a little better each time. Its nice to have something that we can go do together, that we both enjoy. Married life has been fantastic! Two weeks ago we had Kelsey’s parents out here in visiting us from Heber for thanksgiving. We all had a lot of  fun. We played at the pool at their hotel, went to the Polynesian Cultural Center (which was really cool), had out door thanks giving in Burke’s yard, went to the beach, and played Ticket to Ride. We had a blast, and it was really nice to get to spend time with them. Other than that, we haven’t been up to too much! We are looking forward to the Christmas break to play a little bit more, and study less. We hope all of you are doing well. We love you all!
