Alisha's a REAL girl!!



I went to a wedding a week ago... and I even dressed up! :-) As you do when you go to a wedding. Much to the amazement of my guy friends... I am a girl... who wears dresses and heels and everything. :-) Here's some proof!
Dress is old... shoes are new... and there's a whole, new feminine Alisha... who knew!?!

Adventures in Alaska!!
















So... these are pictures from camping with my Dad. We went down to Healy (near Denali Park) to work on the cabin that my parents bought (it was only half finished) last year. We've got the view... my camping face... and my Dad doing all the hammering. Too bad I'm too small and all I could do it measure the boards. Bummer!! More pics to come soon!! ;-)

Pictoral update!!

So, I know that I have been remiss in posting pictures of things and activities in my life. SO... here's the grand update with everything from pictures of Hawaii to me and Yo (my boyfriend!). I'll add commentary when needed. ;-)


This first picture is of the view (toward the mountains) from my apartment in Waikiki. It was quite the experience... but I would have to say I'll not be living in Waikiki whenever I do return to Hawaii. ;-)








This is my fantastic roommate Nicole! We were actually heading out for a great night out in Waikiki when we got one of our other roommates to take this pic. We had a blast that night and I miss her so much!!






This next pic is of Nicole, Mimmi and me on Easter. They wanted to come to church with me, so we all made a jolly group as we headed to church. After the service we had a fab brunch at the church. They were so impressed with church and the food afterwards. It was a great Sunday and I'm so glad we all went together.













Here's a picture of a beach that Yo and I went to. It was pretty, but windy that day.










And this next picture is also that day. Yo and I took a bajillion pictures... but for some reason I kept closing my eyes! (I took off my sunnies, you see!) So, we finally got a good picture in. ;-) Anyway, these are my updated photos. I just returned from an interesting weekend of "camping" so I'll be posting some of those pics soon!

*SIGH*

I've been house-sitting for the last couple of weeks. Living away from the ol' family. Driving their nice Toyota Highlander. It was GREAT! But now they get back tonight. Which means I'm heading home to be with the fam again and give up the nice freedom of NOT being at home. And so... I sigh. ;-)

However, I really need to start a countdown to Japan. It's getting close... I have 56 days to go!! Yay!! Am really, really, really stoked!! So, if there's anyone who has ever had an itch to explore Japan... now's your chance to come visit. ;-) I'll be there from September '06 to end of July '07. Exciting!!!!!

Hope all's well with everyone!

Have you ever seen....

a rainbow growing? It was SO cool. I left work the other night around 11pm and there was this bright sliver of rainbow off in the distance. As I drove along... the rainbow started to grow. It got to be about half a rainbow. And then I noticed I could see it growing as I drove along. I'd NEVER seen that before! As I got to the house where I was house-sitting the rainbow was full... AND HUGE!! It was so amazing! I've live in Hawaii... and seen a ton of rainbows. But the one the other night was by far the coolest!!

Just wanted to share! Hope things are well!!
