I started my new job as the Development Associate at the Honolulu Museum of Art this week! Pictured here is an environmental stickwork piece being installed on the museum’s lawn by Patrick Dougherty. The full installation will be finished by the end of the week, and will be on display for the remainder of the year.
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the Kroc Center’s opening weekend festivities in Kapolei. I worked for 3 and a half years as a member of the project team, and to see this center open its doors to the community of West Oahu is nothing short of amazing! I was so proud to be apart of this new and exciting venture for The Salvation Army and I know that many families will be blessed to be able to celebrate and worship at this facility!
I’ll be posting more photos from the weekend soon so check back for updates!
Cory had the brilliant idea to eat lunch at Uncle’s Fish Market (on Nimitz Hwy. at Pier 38) this past Sunday, and boy was it delicious! I ordered the Opah Fish & Chips which came with a side of Ahi Poke. I haven’t had anything here that isn’t less than amazing. Highly recommended!
I attended a lecture at the Honolulu Academy of Arts today. The curator of the Anxiety’s Edge exhibit, Jay Jensen, was in house to share his insight on how he chose the pieces for the exhibit. There was talk of this becoming a monthly lecture…I hope that’s the case because I had a great time!
I made pork carnitas street tacos tonight for dinner. I just had to take a picture of the toppings because they were so colorful!
As I was scrolling through my facebook friends’ updates today I noticed a lot of photos of the snow piling up in the colder parts of the country. I have to say that seeing all of those pictures really made me miss being able to bundle up in a coat, scarf and hat. Besides, there’s just something serene and peaceful when the snow comes to rest on familiar landscape…like a big fluffy (albeit cold) blanket! Here’s a photo that I snapped of the Flatirons dusted in the powdery white stuff while we were in Colorado last October. Enjoy!
Tonight’s dinner was wild salmon with garlicky sauteed kale and rosemary polenta. There were no leftovers, which is always a good sign!
As I was coming out of Costco in Hawaii Kai I was greeted by this amazing sky!
