A Trip Down Memory Lane...

So I thought it would be nice show some wonderful memories of the past. Well, actually let's say just within the last three years since Seth and have been together. So enjoy! Above is a photo of all my parents (yes in the same room) at my graduation dinner in Idaho Falls. We were getting ice cream in a parlor I can't remember the name of. It was actually a blast and Isaac (Seth's brother) was the only Potter missing.

Ode to Comic Frenzy! I love these people, literally, all of them and would do anything to relive some of the most hilarious and dramatic improv moments we had with one another. Yesssssss!

My graduation was probably the happiest I've ever been (besides my wedding) in my whole entire life! I know I've only lived a few short years but to have both my mom and dad there and have everyone just be there for families sake was incredible. Yes...I look like my mother.

Now what can I say about Gibby (my sister's dog). She is a Jack Russel and we dressed her up in her play clothes. Hee hee she has way too much energy for me, but you can't help but fall in love with her.

Seth's pride and joy (I think I come second). This was our brand new truck and we both felt like a million bucks! The shot was taken in front of Seth's family house in Lyman, Wyoming.

Hannah look out! The Potter family have the best definition of fun I've decided. Here Seth's sister Hannah was used as a human bowling ball on a wheelie chair and catipulted into a school of chairs. We could play at Seth's Dad's (Layne) elementary school for hours.

Joanne, Seth's Mom knows how to make her house a home. This is just a shot of the top of their barn.

Okay so this is story...here we have our good friends Riley and Chelsea from Rexburg, Idaho at my surprise Birthday Party at Joe and Bethany Sines' house. Yes they put it on for me...SHOUT OUT! Okay, so while everything was taking place (we were loud) Chelsea was asleep, THE WHOLE TIME! See below for the action that took place on this very special night.

Shiloh dressed up for the crowd...

...and so did Seth.

Then Joseph (Seth's bro) decided to play "Rollin' Dobbies" with Seth on the floor. Can we guess who won? There was so much more, but o so little time.

Yeah, this was Seth's and mine first Christmas together! Little baby Charlie Brown tree and our sad presents. I loved it!

Yeah! Thanksgiving at the Potter's where every dinner is a theme dinner. So Joanne had this politically correct idea of dressing everyone up as Indians and Pilgrims.

More photos outside the Potter house. 

You are the Dancing Queen...Seth and Joe Sines. We had many nights of frivilous activity with the people in Rexburg.

Like this one here. Theme murder mystery party at Marcie and Joseph's. Notice where Joseph's hand is placed. 

We played our characters well. I was a secretive secretary and Seth was a rich business man named Pro. I know this cause he probably said his own name about a billion times during the course of the night.

Ohhh, yes the pantalones. Seth looks great in my eighties pants.

...and so do I! Meet Stacey, my 80's secret identity!

This is Deborah, my arch nemesis and sometimes best friend.

A fruit pizza I made for Seth on his Birthday! I'm not one to brag, but yes this was delicious and yes I'm one to brag.
We like to play the game where you shake your head as hard as you can and take ugly photos of it. Stinking hilarious. These are our friends Cami and Blair Eyre (yes pronouced 'air' it rhymes).
For a creative date, Seth and I went on a canoe trip and ended up in the brush. We are so adventurous!
Seth's graduation!
Playing on our new Mac desktop was hours of endless fun! I can't stop laughing when I look at this photo.
Our first apartment together after we were married. So excited to decorate and Seth was excited to get a bed....to sleep in.
I was always kind of a chicken and Seth was so upset with me for not going down this hill faster. I put the brakes on the whole time and was very scared. I miss my orange gloves!
Our honeymoon took place on New Year's and we took this photo. 
Our trip to Waterton in Glacier National Park came to an abrupt stop when my sister Amy accidentally fell in the glacier water. That other guy is BJ a highschool friend from Taber, Canada. I love that we documented it.
Brown chicken brown cow! The Potter brothers at their best climbing the wild mountains of Idaho. From left to right Joseph, Isaac, and Seth.
Oh Adam, how could I forget you! The Potter family went go-karting and they were told that whenever you ran into trouble you were to raise your hand. Adam, literally ran into trouble.
I love my mommy! Oh this was taken right before Seth and I met at a Christmas 2006 in Kewlona, Canada.
Oh, we climbed up to a waterfall called X'tu falls in B.C. Canada at one of my hometowns.
A silly string fight in the Potter's backyard.
One of my favorite rolls in House of Bernarda Alba by Garcia Lorca. I loved my makeup!
Good ol' Seth riding off into the sunset on his Tennesee Walking Horse Kusco. He was the one to brake and train him in Rexburg, Idaho.

Awapuhi Street

I'm starting to slowing get the hang of this blog thing, and when I say slow I mean that I'm on it probably once every two weeks trying to figure it out. I still haven't mastered the art of joining other people's blogs yet. If anyone knows pleeeeaaase let me know. I'm so lost.

Anyways, Seth and I have been in Oahu for two months now and haven't said anything of it. I thought now would be a good time. We live on a little street in the valley of Manoa called Awapuhi Street; 1931 to be exact. There is a little old Japanese lady, named Tomiko, who lives above us with her daughter Linda. Seth thinks Tomiko is a little intimidating, but I keep trying to tell him that she's just afraid when she's home alone and he knocks on her door to pay rent. The other day she looked out the window and yelled, "What do you want?!" at him. We forgive her, she is just practicing the English that she is learning from her speech classes 3x a week.

Finally, we got a vehicle to put around in a few weeks ago. We were stuck in our basement suite in the middle of a city with a bad transit system about a mile away from the nearest grocery store! You can only imagine Seth and I hauling our groceries uphill a mile with 25lbs. of groceries on each arm. And no, we weren't barefoot, things are different these days.

We've met some really interesting people, and everyone is very friendly here. I'm still getting used to whole "Aloha" thing in church, but its growing on me, as I love to hear the Polynesians sing the musical numbers. Seth is working with Lucent Film Academy (the new busines we are trying to run), while I work at ABC film studios for 'LOST' as an Art Department PA (production assistant or what I like to call the guinea pig). We are both grateful to be here, and it hasn't come without its difficulties but we both feel it will be worth it in the end....it better be anyways cause I need a dang hair cut and no money to pay for one. Kidding. But seriously.

There are a lot of Asian cultures here and so whenever we do takeout orders for work, I have to look up what the Asian characters on the menu mean. I thought I was cultured, I really did. In fact, I thought I knew more than most. Problem being, I've been in Idaho for the past two years and then Alaska! Duh, of course I'm more culutred than most, but just because I know how to use chopsticks doesn't mean I know what pan pan is! Well, I think that's what its called. It's just a basic custard filled bread and its really good! A lot of the food is amazing, I sure love the thai, but something needs to be said about having a Wendy's around. There is only 2 on the whole island!

We've been to so few places on this beautiful island, but the places we have been are stunning! Seth just bought a skim board with the money we don't have and is picking it up really good. We also like to go to the beach in our free time and watch the tourists get in the water for the first time. They llook like us the first time we got it. Excited and racing for the ocean only to be pounded by a wave so hard that all the pride is taken from you as well as your swimsuit. It's always good for a laugh or two or three or four.

For now, in a house basement on Awapuhi Street remains our home. Yet another adventure for the Potters! We love you all and plan to show all those who come to visit all the places we've been and more. See below for the photo details of what I'm talking about...

...stay tuned for more.
