Aloha po,

This place is magical. 

I just got back from dinner with Sylvia at this local restaurant called Colleen's maybe ten minutes ago and I have a really cute story to tell you guys! So Sylvia and I went to dinner to let our hair down and just kick it after the work day. We shared this GIANT salad (woo, again be proud of me) and penne ala vodka with chicken as well a lemon bar for dessert and a couple of beers. When we asked for our check, the waitress came over and had told us that a gentleman had paid for our entire bill! Apparently he comes into Colleen's once a week and chooses a different table to pay for their entire meal to "pay it forward". HOW FREAKING CUTE!!!! I try my best to be conscience of paying it forward but this gentleman made my entire day and I am so happy! 

How lucky am I? As my little, more athletic, wittier, prettier and shorter sister would say: it must be my uncanny good fortune.

Oh, and here is a picture of the volcano as promised. Haleakala in all its majestic glory. Seriously, you have to see it in person to understand how breathtaking it is. I can't wait to go hiking! We are going to go hiking in the volcano crater (!!!!!!) and hopefully even see the seven sacred pools. I die. This life is too good.

Lastly, there was a photoshoot for the Mill at work today. Some Japanese people came in and set up the whole thing. Snap Snap. WHO'S SEEIN ME?!

Seriously. I'm so happy.

With warmest aloha,

MJ
