Not just any college, but one where He can keep an eye on her; BYU Hawaii, next to the Laie temple... A beautiful place for a beautiful soul...
She earned to be there... Her grades allowed her to be there, at no expense to us, not one penny! Even FAFSA gave her extra money! How amazing is that?! We were able to help her get set up nicely (above and beyond with the money we didn't have to use for college fees) in her side of the room (she has three roommates in a two-bedroom faculty housing unit, and they are all just lovely and all four get along great!)
(After we landed in Honolulu, just right outside the baggage claim)
(Above-at Costco; Below-inside Max's of Manila (Filipino restaurant) in Honolulu)
(A group hug after school blessings)
(Celebrating her move-in and our last night there over a delicious pu-pu platter.)
(These two, right in front of the temple; it's being renovated until October. Her housing unit, is mere minutes away.)
(Inside her unit, in the faculty housing complex. She was lucky to have this, it's spacious!)
(Her self-portrait; at a beach park in Hau'ula where we stayed.)
(At the Dole Plantation Garden tour; their bromeliad collection, a cousin of the pineapple, are amazing!)
the sun sighs when it shines over...
the clouds happily congregate and tease the water above majestic mountains...
where pineapples grow to be sweet and juicy... I know that wherever she is...
Our little family of five, because we believe in Jesus Christ, will always be together-FOREVER!

Some parents have to say goodbye because their child runs away, some because their child has made improper choices, but you get to say "see you soon" to a child who is making all the right choices. You are very fortunate, and you have done a great job!
Thank you so much; I am so pleased with her choices even now. So glad to see you here again...
