My life in HAWAII...
Hawaii airview This photo was taken from the airplane as I was moving to Hawaii in August of 2007.  I moved to Honolulu to attend the University of Hawaii at Manoa.  I am currently working on my Master's degree in Educational Administration K-12.  I plan on using my degree to work as an administrator in the field of Special Education.
Lori and Brandie Hawaii I have had many visitors while living in Hawaii.  My best friend, Brandie, was the first to come and vacation on the islands.  This photos was taken at Lanakai Beach on the Windward side of Oahu.  We had a great time exploring and having fun in Hawaii.
Zelinsky family In Feb. 2008, the Zelinsky family came to visit from Alaska.  We ventured over to the island of Kauai and had a great time.  This photo was taken on a rainy and cloudy day out at the canyon.  We went back a few days later and were able to see the amazing views the canyon had to offer.  What a great time!
Lori sunset Kauai I have enjoyed some amazing sunsets in Hawaii.  This one was particularly special since I was with my friends in Kauai.  Living in Alaska, I have seen my share of whales, but this sunset in Kauai was made extra special with the addition of whales playing in the background.  We sat for hours and watched the whales breaching out in the distance.  Special memories!
My car The first few months living in Hawaii was difficult without a car.  I finally broke down and bought this fun little island car.  It has taken us all over the island many times.  I will be sad to sell it when I leave.  I don't think this car will do so well in the winters of Alaska!  
Relaxing at the beach This photo was actually taken while Brandie and I were vacationing in Barbados.  I was never a beach girl, I always enjoyed the mountains more.  But, I think this trip was instrumental in my new found love for the beach and the sun.  I have learned the art of relaxation and soaking up the sun!!!  Life is hard!
