Just thought I'd introduce myself since I've posted more than 3 posts. I'm originally from Papakolea and now living on the Mainland. Anyways, ... um... yah, Hi. :cool:

Hi Utah! Pleased to meet you, and looking forward to seeing your stuff on the boards. Got any centipede stories? :)

Sorry guys!! Huikala :( Please forgive me, I haven't been logged in for a long time, and finally found some time to check HT.

I live in the northern part of utah in a town called Logan. In this town is a college called Utah State University, which is part of the WAC. I've been on the mainland off and on since 1995. But I moved to stay in 2000 and have been here ever since. I lived in Provo for about 3 years, then moved to Boise, Idaho for 1 year, and now I'm here in Logan for 2 years.

If your in Utah, give me a holler.

Aloha!!

PS. No centipede stories in utah, but lots in Hawaii. In utah the big bug is spiders. Some wolf spiders and hobo spiders, both dangerous. But I still kill'em w/ my slippah. LOL :D

I just went through Utah a couple months ago! Was beautiful from the air...didn't stay more than a day though.
Welcome :D

Salt Lake here. Lucky us we get L&L's! But really. I've been here for about 3 years with my wife and new son 'Loa'.

Originally (and still one at heart) a Maui boy from the Paukukalo/Waiehu (I never know where I fall into) Hawaiian Homes.

Know any Sam Fong's from Kihei, Maui? I'm LDS (wow Utah, LDS? What a reach!) and I grew up with a few of them as kids.

Aloha

No worries! Me and my wife do it on a daily he's such a joy and blessing in our lives I dunno how we got so lucky to have him in our small ohana here. I just hope I can be a good Dad to him. I'm not worried about my wife though I know she will be a great Mom. Us guys are always trying to catch up to our wives.....Just don't tell her I said that.

It's just he's getting so big! Totally pulled the Hawaiian side in the weight department. Was born 8 lbs. and in 2 months he's already 14 lbs. almost doubled his weight. My poor wife already getting sore wrists no joke.

But I know we wouldn't have it any other way. Except maybe if he wouldn't be so squirmy when its bed time hah!

Cute pix keoki. I met the Sam Fongs in Maui once, but that was a long time ago when we was trying to meet all the Sam Fongs. We're related, but we don't know each other. Kinda sux, but there you go.

It's cool that you live here in Utah. My wife loves Utah, I like Utah. I kinda wanna move away from Utah, but I don't want my kids growing up anywhere else. Even where I'm from in Papakolea, not sure how my daughter would handle the other children. I grew up rough and took my lumps in my neighborhood. I try to shelter my daughter and son from that kind of stuff. Not that I baby them, I still have the heavy hand of discipline you know (alot of kids need that around here, no respect for there parents), but just don't want the kind of influences around in the hood that I had when I was 4.

Anyways, it's kool to see another kanaka here on the mainland!!
