ANOTHER BUSY AND "AWWWESOME" WEEKEND FOR ME, SHIRLEY, AND KAHEALANI!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START...  THIS PAST WEEKEND WENT BY SO FAST AND I'M SUPER EXHAUSTED!!!

HMMM...  LETS START WITH FRIDAY...  AT WORK WE A LIP SYNC CONTEST THAT WAS FUN TO WATCH AS I'M PRETTY SURE EVERYONE HAD AN "AWWWESOME" TIME AND WE ENDED ON A POTLUCK OF NATIVE ESKIMO FOODS FOR LUNCH!!!

AS FOR ME...  I ONLY ATE SALMON AND BROWN RICE...  TALK ABOUT LOADING UP ON PROTEIN AND FIBER!!!

THAT SAME EVENING I SPENT THE NIGHT AT THE FIRESTATION WITH SILAS AND WE PRETTY MUCH CHILLED UNTIL WE GOT A FIRE CALL JUST PAST MIDNIGHT!!!

JUMPED INTO OUR FIRE GEARS AND HEADED OUT TO THE LOCATION...  IT'S COLD AND THE WINDCHILL WAS AROUND -20'S AND I'M GONNA SAY THAT "GOD IS GOOD"...  WE WERE ABLE TO PUT OUT A SMOLDERING FIRE THAT COULD'VE BEEN DISASTROUS AND IT WOULD'VE TAKEN ALL NIGHT AND DAY TO PUT IT OUT IF THE FIRE BUILT UP!!!  AGAIN...  THANK YOU JESUS FOR KEEPING ALL OF US SAFE!!!

THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH FOR FRIDAY NIGHT GOING INTO SATURDAY EARLY MORNING!!!

SO SATURDAY MORNING IS SLOWLY GETTING BRIGHTER AND I HEAD BACK TO MY HOUSE TO GO WORKOUT ON MY "LOWER BODY & ABS HYPERTROPHY".

"TEAM AWWWRITE!!!"...  BRING IT ON!!!

AS SOON AS I WAS DONE...  I HEADED BACK TO THE FIRE STATION.  LATER ON THAT AFTERNOON, I HEADED OVER TO THE BETHEL COVENANT CHURCH TO CHECK OUT THEIR "WINTER FEST" EVENT!!!

I'M SO GLAD I WENT!!!

I GOT A HOT CUP OF GREEN TEA MADE BY THIS GUY!!!

I GOT TO MAKE MY OWN CHRISTMAS CARDS WITH COUPLE OF ADORABLE KIDS...  YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES...  LOL!!!  THEIR PROBABLY WONDERING AND SAYING TO THEMSELVES...  "AREN'T YOU TOO OLD TO BE HANGING OUT WITH US???"  

AFTER MAKING MY "AWWWESOME" CHRISTMAS CARD...  I THEN HEADED OVER TO THE "MAKE YOUR OWN CHRISTMAS TREE" TABLE!!!

I WAS LIKE...  IT'S ON!!!  I'M DOWN WITH THIS...  AFTER TOTAL CONCENTRATION AND REMAINING TOTALLY FOCUSED...  MY MASTERPIECE WAS DONE!!!

  

I GOT TO HANGOUT AND CHILL WITH EVERYONE ELSE AND CHATTED UP A STORM OF YAKETY YAKS!!!

A BIG MAHALO TO THE "BETHEL EVANGELICAL COVENANT CHURCH" FOR PUTTING TOGETHER SUCH AN "AWWWESOME" AND FUN EVENT FOR THE COMMUNITY TO COME TOGETHER AND HANGOUT!!!

I HEADED BACK TO THE FIRE STATION AND WE GOT A "911", MAN NOT BREATHING!!!

TALK ABOUT ADRENALINE!!!

ME AND 6 OTHER MEDICS RESPONDED AND IN NO TIME WE WERE ABLE TO REVIVE THIS PERSON...  AGAIN, "GOD IS GOOD!!!"

AFTER DEBRIEFING WITH THE TEAM...  IT WAS AN "AWWWESOME" FEELING FOR ME AND I LEARNED ALOT FROM THAT SHORT 7-14 MINUTES OF INTENSE CPR & AED!!!

I'M PROUD TO BE PART THIS "AWWWESOME" TEAM OF VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF:
