wahh!!

i dont wanna leave hawaii!!
its been so much fun and i've been in great company, i love my family! troy reckons its weird how close we all are, that we can just rock up 14 years later and its like we've never been gone. what can i say, my grandmother left us a legacy of a lot of love. dont get me wrong, we've had some narkiness and arguing too but it doesnt seem to get blown out of proportion.
my cousins kayley and steph rock! they're very cool and its been great hanging out. they've been very tolerant of us invading their home, and of troys non-stop swearing while we watched australia play the world cup. there have been a lot of laughs.
steph is just nice and friendly and has this air of peace its lovely to be around. and kayley just cracks me up with sarcasm and her eye rolls, but shes also just really sweet playing her ukelele. hawaii in general has been great to be back in. its just pretty with the mountains and the forest and the ocean and the way relaxed island attitude it really is like being home.
and my own family, too, my mom and nick and katie and j.a. and mikalea...its been quite nice spending time with everyone before heading out into the big world.
so i'm sad dammit! again!
but also excited about the next level of the journey...
