My sister's graduation from BYU Hawaii was yesterday! It was really cool! Elder Rasband was there, along with Donny Osmond! For those of you who don't know who Donny Osmond is, (like how I didn't) he was the guy who sang "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Mulan. I freaked out when I heard that because I LOVEEEE Mulan! He told a really funny story about singing at a football game and sang some of the Star Spangled Banner in the process. It was so cool!
Anyways, the graduation was about an hour and after that everyone was gathered outside of the university trying to find the graduates. I spotted my sister first and crushed her in a hug. It's tradition to buy leis for the graduates. The more leis you have, the more popular you are. My sister had quite a bit of leis!

They're made out of real plants, too.

We went to eat after the graduation and then helped my sister move out of her college apartment. We went to the beach afterward. It was so pretty! It was my first time swimming in the ocean! (Note to self and everyone else: salt water is nasty when you get it in your mouth.)

There was a sand man on the beach when we got there, lol.

He's so cute! I think his hat is a coconut case. They come in fuzzy shells.

We also walked around the temple grounds last night. Did you know that the Laie, Hawaii temple was the fifth dedicated temple? It is beautiful!

We also stopped by the visitors center. It was really cool.

Well, I guess that's all for now. Bye!
