Aloha Nui Loa

Well, you knew it would come to this. You don't put Jenni in Hawaii, have her sign up for hula classes and purchase a muumuu without getting too many pictures to prove it happened!

On Saturday night my halau (hula club) hosted our once-every-five-years hula performance. My friends and I put on our lovely bright blue muumuus, crammed about 15 flowers in our hair, and did our best to hula well. It was a really strange event but also very, very fun. I'm so glad I did it. I don't know that I'll ever perform hula again but I know when I am 65 I will definitely be glad I did. And maybe you'll be glad I did after you see these silly pictures.

Aloha, I am Hula Jenni.

I also have a video. If you're very, very lucky I may post it here.

Bring on the video - we are excited to see you in motion. By the way - the muumuus aren't near as bad as you said they were - rather cute in fact!
