i drove out to hawaii kai early this morning and waited until the sun rose. i saw the beautiful sky change colors right in front of my eyes.

then when the sun peaked over the mountain, it became a golden moment. it was breathtaking! the best way to start my long wonderful day!

it’s crazy how beautiful hawaii is. people here take things like this for granted but i appreciate each sunrise and rainbow to the fullest. how the heck can people complain about traffic when you have a view like this?

i dropped the kitakami kids off at ala moana yesterday. 30 seconds later, they split up and lost each other. luckily these kids are survivors so i wasn’t worried at all. everybody reunited and everything was ok. thank goodness.
