Oh January! :)

January is almost done and I haven't updated my blog, January has been hectic. We had so much going on this month that I completely forgot about my blog. The first thing that happened was we (my little family and i) went in for our bishop interview to find out when we can accomplish that GOAL we been working towards. And I'm happy to say we are VERY VERY close! I'm super excited and relieved we are one step away from it :) The process of preparing has been hard, especially now that we are super close, Satan has been working really hard. My hubby and I have been getting into arguments here and there, and we are trying our best to not lose our focus on ETERNITY. I will post another blog before we go in to properly announce our date :) 

The second thing that happened that kept me from blogging was having family visiting from Samoa. My moms little brother and his beautiful family came and spent a week with us, and it fun and hectic, cause they had little ones and so Nahleah and the kids would run around and play like no other, even if it was 11 pm at night. lol It was nice to have the house full again and the kids enjoyed themselves, especially my little one. We got to do a bunch of stuff with them before they left. My mom and Nahleah took them to the infamous P.C.C for the whole day, including the dinner and night show. Then the next day I took them to the swap meet to do some shopping for them and the rest of the family in Samoa. lol. And then the day before they left we took them to the Honolulu Zoo! Man that was a LOONNGG DAY, but i had fun seeing them enjoying themselves, especially with Nahleah older now, she knows and notices thing more. After the zoo we got some pizza at Costco (my favorite pizza)! Then we headed home, they left the following morning which was this past Friday. It was a bittersweet moment. But I'm glad we got to spend time with them :)

 

Third was my husbands sisters one year of passing and birthday!! Which was on Saturday. It was beautiful, everyone in the family was there, along with the bishop and his counselors and the Y.W and the Y.M. They sang some songs and did a little ceremony for her. Her name is NenailaLotomama Lulu Danielson :) She left us in December before Christmas, but they decided to do her one year on her birthday which was Saturday Jan. 21st :) I didnt really get the chance to get to know her, but I know she was a BEAUTIFUL person inside and out, and she's touched many hearts including mine! <3  My husbands family is wwaayy big, siblings wise. (if that makes any sense) lol I have only one brother and thats all. He has many sisters and brothers, which is why I enjoy being around them. Its nice to see them together laughing, talking stories and what not. I've always wanted sisters and brothers growing up and I'm happy to say I've gained many since I got married :) lol But Nailas SPECIAL DAY was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! And her grave site or should I say HOUSE is even more BEAUTIFUL! We sang happy birthday to her and we had the family let go balloons in her memory and for her birthday :) I loved that day, I dont know about everyone else but I felt so much LOVE and SUPPORT that day. Its nice to know that our Loved ones aren't lost forever, cause with the Plan of Salvation we will get to see all our LOVED ones again and be with them :) So ONE day I will get a chance to sit down with Naila and get to know her, and see this BEAUTIFUL person everyone in the family is always talking about :) She is DEEPLY MISSED & TRULY LOVED. R.I.L Naila..*Until we meet again* <3

And then we have my Moms big 50th birthday this Thursday, along with our mini family vaycay. I haven't figured out what Im gonna get her, but I will go into details with that on another post, since it hasn't happened yet! :)

TO BE CONTINUED......
