so in love.

i feel like a girl in middle school, doodling the name of the boy she likes on in all of her notebooks.

i just wanna get sconed.

i woke up this morning with a crazy craving for blackberry scones, so i decided to make some and bring them to the tattoo shop for my coworkers.

new addition.

Last week, James and I adopted a dog from the Humane Society. We had been hoping to get a puppy from another rescue out in Pearl City, but we went to the Humane Society just to see who was there. There was this cute little dog that was called Henry. We spent some time with him, he tried to pee on James twice, and loved to sit in my lap. Even though we liked him, he didn't seem to interested in us, so we left.

The next morning I got an email from the lady at the other animal rescue and she said that the puppy we had been looking at online was already 20 lbs. (way too big for our apartment). So I went back to the Humane Society just for fun and saw Henry again. This time he was so excited to see me, he ran to the door of his cage wagging his tail the most and giving me kisses. Soooo... I adopted him.

He had been a stray on Maui, and they said they think that he was abused before that. (They send over little dogs from Maui, because I guess everyone over there wants big dogs). He is a 5 year old poi dog. He is very underweight, all of his ribs visible, and his little hip bones too. But we are gonna fatten him up in no time. Since he had been a stray, they were just calling him Henry at the Humane Society, and he didn't know that as his name yet, so we got to give him a name. After talking about it all afternoon and naming random things and whatever came to mind, we decided on Kentucky. Full name, Kentucky Good Lookin'.

He is a very good dog, he only had a couple of accidents the first couple days, but now he is completely potty trained (besides peeing on a guy at the dog park the other day), and he loves James and I. All he wants to do is cuddle and be in our laps. He likes to be outside too. He is perfect. He has energy when we are outside doing fun things, or playing. But when we are at home relaxing, he just cuddles.

haiku stairs, stairway to heaven.

after behave yourself's first show, we climbed the haiku stairs (stairway to heaven) at 2:30 in the morning! we made it to the top at around 4:30-5am i think. it was amazing, and i wish i had taken photos of the trip up in the dark. when we got to the top we set up camp in the little building up there. that consisted of a tarp on the ground and all of us in a pile, eating soup that rob and toby heated up via their camp stoves, and blankets!

julie & her soup! this girl just came into our lives yesterday, and she is so rad. so excited to hang out with her more!

"and we will sleep in a real pile!" -where the wild things are.

we were all cold, but using each other's body heat and sharing blankets helped out a lot! (i just noticed kelli &rob kissing face)

a heart shaped rock that made my day.

these two are seriously two of the nicest/coolest/best guys ever and it bums me out so much that they are going back to new jersey. tried kidnapping them, but forgot about it, and let them go to the airport.
