got 8 hours of sleep!

So I get the question "Where are you now?" quite a bit. I am going to address the NOW part of that question...
I am currently in North Carolina... or as people out here call it: Carolina. North Carolinians don't really think South Carolina is a real state... my South Carolinian friend would beg to differ.
I arrived here on Tues eve/Wed morn and I never really understood jet lag until now. So last night I got 8 hours of sleep, that is twice in 3 days that I have slept more than my usual 5/6 hours. That is how I know things aren't normal for me. Going from Hawaii and coming to the east is not an easy task (some may argue otherwise)... however I would do it again, just not this week. Actually give me a year.
Here is a 5 list of my past month of travel (note: this is a real hard list to make) in no particular order and I haven't been in NC long enought for there to be any standoutish highlights, other than my bike fiasco, but that is a whole other story:
1. HAWAII in general and the people I went with... although I did not enjoy having sand in places where it shouldn't be
2. Falling in love.... with Seattle and my friends there
3. Being able to see my friend Katherine on a layover in Nashville
4. Playing soccer 2 days in one week with fun women and having our butts kicked by a bunch of 13 yr olds.
5. Laughing until I get a side cramp
Here are some pics from the past few weeks...









If you get a chance check out my sister's blog... for an enginerd she is quite funny. She is one of a kind that is for sure!
