Well the lady called on Saturday at 1pm (4 hours before the show) to tell us that both of our photos made it in the show. I wasn't able to go, but one of my co-workers went since she lived close by. She said there were other photos, but mostly paintings. They were both hanging in the front by the window.
Anyways that's all I know about the show. Now we wait to see if anyone buys them. If anyone does we make about 50% ($60 each, we make 30 on each).
Now back to all the work I need to do before I leave for Romania.
Stress, stress, stress...

Gallery Show!
So I finally got the camera I've wanted for a while a Nikon D80 with a 18-50 lens.
It's big and heavy but it takes great pictures.
That was the introduction to the following story.
One of my co-workers (#1) found a flier about a contest called "Art inspired by Dance and Life" and she was talking to another co-worker (#2) who is pregnant about taking pictures of her in co-worker #1 belly dancing outfit. But they did not know of anyone to take pictures. Co-worker #2 knew I liked to take pictures and I wanted to get into taking more professional pictures, so she mentioned it to co-worker #1. We all talked about this on Tuesday of last week. We did the photo shoot on Wednesday, we chose out two favorite out of 200 on Thursday, on Friday we framed them and printed them and on Saturday we turned them into the Gallery. We have not heard from them as of 7pm on Friday (6/27/08) and the show is tomorrow, so we think we made it in the show. Well for those who are wondering what the pictures look like here they are: (Note the photographer's name on the picture).

Too much... and nothing interesting....
I've been real busy for the past couple of months getting ready for this weekend. We will be having a Mission Auction night where we will be having lots of silent auction items displayed, entertainment, and hopefully a Live Auction. I have been making tickets, fliers, posters, letters, sending them out to businesses, asking for donations, etc. Just today I sat in the office of the church for almost 6 hours, inputting all auction items in the database.
On top of having to do all this auction stuff, I have my full time job, which is also keeping me pretty busy.
During the last week, we also had a guest who slept in our living room. Not so exciting to go home and not really have a time to yourself for a few minutes.
Of course my Romania trip is also coming soon and I have to get things ready for that. Crafts to order, papers to finish, things to pack, donations to pick up, etc.
Like I said in my Title, way too much going on and nothing really interesting for anyone to read about so that is why I haven't been posting much.
Hope everyone is doing well.

Whales, whales and more whales!
So I went on a whale watch yesterday with some of my co-workers. It was a windy morning, and I was not looking forward to getting on the boat. I knew the waves would be rough. As we were waiting for your boat to be ready, I was looking around at all the tourists who were waiting to see their first whale. There was a family with two children not far from us. Dad was taking pictures, kids were eating (chips, candy, junk), mom was taking care of the kids. I told my friend, "look at what those kids are eating, their going to throw up on the boat."
Soon we were ready to get on the boat. No need to walk the wind will push me to the boat.
Off we were on a good start. The captain announces whale were spotted not too far away. We head toward the blow in hope of seeing whales. Not long into our ride there are whales close enough to see them. We get closer and the motor stops. Whales have been spotted. Cameras ready! Oh, so many people. I went inside and opened the windows. We were surrounded by whales 2 or 3 times. They were so close, you could almost reach out and touch them sometimes. A dolphin, oh, never mind it's a false killer whale. Yes, a false killer whale (basically known as a large dolphin).
Here is a pictures of one:
The whales were amazing. Almost all traveled in threes. A mama whale, a baby whale and the escort. Jumps meant they were communicating aggression (mostly "don't get any closer, or we may attack). Some tricks were mama whale teaching the baby whale. After an amazing 2 hours we were headed back to the harbor. Remember the kids, well guess what one of them did get sick. It was not pretty and it sure didn't smell good. They had to close the outside because it was getting too rough and water was coming on the boat, so all those bodies where stuck inside. I couldn't take the smell so I got wet by looking outside the window or staying in the back of the boat.

Snow on Haleakala!
Well this morning I woke up to find out that we have snow on top of Haleakala. It was a beautiful sight. While driving around I could see the rain, sun, and snow. It was a little colder than usual, but the heat is coming back soon.
Here is a picture I took of the mountain.
Here is another pictures I found on the internet. A little closer view then I could get from my house. 
Now, who said I have to go to the mainland to see snow?

Roommate!
Well I recently found out that my roommate will be moving back to the mainland at the end of February. I have to find a roommate within the next few weeks. Anyone want to move to Maui?
I hope to find the best roommate for me so I don't have to loose this place. It's cheap for Maui and it has a pool and it's located across the street from the beach.
