As you all know from my past posts, my hubby and I have been working on taking our family to the Temple to get sealed for Eternity. It was one of the BIGGEST step/choice we had to make, but it was the BEST choice/decision we have made or will make together. The path was not easy, but we survived through it all. There were times were I felt it was useless, and that giving up was the only option, and I'm sure my hubby felt like that at some point, but we stuck to it and worked thru it. Satan really does exist, and with this goal in our minds, he will show his ugliness and try to stop you and your loved ones from obtaining this gift of Eternal Life. I have read on one of the talks from Elder John. M. Madsen that Eternal Life is the GREATEST gift from God to mankind. And I agree with him, whats better then spending Eternity with your loved ones. Nothing in this world could compare to that. I am forever grateful to have a choice or opportunity to have Eternity with my family. The subject is easy to talk about with your partner, but the road to it is hard. The temptations, peer pressures you will face will be impossible without Heavenly Father and Faith at your side. Trust me, I have learned that the hard way. I have learned and grown so much through this process. And I am ssssooo HAPPY, that we are now just a interview and signature away. Every time I think about it, It gives me these butterflies and this excitement that makes me smile. I know in my heart that my family and I are on the right path, and that once we enter that beautiful big white house of the Lord, nothing will or can ever stop us from being apart. This experience of trying to obtain this gift is an experience of a lifetime that i will never forget. I am thankful and so very blessed for my hubby, for agreeing about making it Eternity and for working so hard to get there. You the best babe! :) We got this...<3 My parents and this gospel has played a big role in my life and I am grateful for them. I wouldn't be where I am today if I didn't have such great role models. Like no joke. I am eager and excited, but until then I will share more details with you when we get that last signature and interview. <3 I love my life and my loved ones, especially the man upstairs! To those who haven't started on this great endeavor, please start soon...I promise it will all be worth it, "If we can do it, then you can do it too". And to those who are already there, you guys are right..."It really is the BEST feeling EVER!" I can already feel it :)

Im BACK! :)
So I'm finally back, its been a long while since I updated my blog. (smh) Things have been crazy and lots of stuff been happening. So where to start! Okay so its been awhile now but if you haven't heard already, my father is now Bishop for Laie 9th ward (Samoan Ward) :) It was a surprise to us kids cause we didnt find out til the Sunday they announced it. lol *my parents think they sneaky like that* lol Since i was little girl my dad has always been a great a example/role model. Its great to see him take the role of Bishop again, I know without a doubt in mind that he will be great as always :)
Last month my hubby and I celebrated our 2 year Anniversary! He took me out to dinner and a movie. We ate dinner at this Italian place where we had our first dinner date, then we watched this army/military movie. I totally don't remember the name of the movie, but it was a great movie. He spoiled me on our anniversary with a little bit of shopping here and there. :) We've known each other for about 3 1/2 years now but married for 2 AMAZING years!! He's such a great husband/father/bestfriend and I love him so :)
As we all know it was tax season and well we been talking about moving, so when we got our tax we purchased our tickets to Alaska for May 22nd! Why Alaska you ask? Well we figured its a perfect place for us to get a fresh new start and to get financially stabled. We want to start of clean so we can soon stand on our on two feet without relying on our parents or family for support and help. You know? Plus I'm the oldest out of my family and well my parents aren't getting any younger and they will soon need my help, and I want to be able to give them that help without having to worry about my own family. But before we leave, we've also made a goal to get sealed here at the Laie, Hawaii Temple, since both our families are down here. :) And I am very happy to say that all we need right now is our last interview with the Stake President and get his signature then we set a date for our big day! :) I can't tell you the feeling I have everytime I think about how close we really are, It feels so GOOD!! :) I will definitely blog about it when we get our date set. So until then...:)
And then we have this whole Laie North Stake Cheerfest thing. It was our first year to ever have something like this, but it was so much fun. Even though we practiced like the last week an a half, I think our cheer was bomb dot com. lol. And my baby girl rocked it. I'm sad that we are leaving hawaii and only now they wanna start stuff like this. lol. I don't maybe we will just come down for the next cheerfest....hahaha. Even my hubby was all excited about it, cause you know..only on the northshore u can find stuff like this. He's a Mule alumni so this was pretty new to him and he LOVED it. hehehe. He will deny it, but he told me he's happy he got to experience that kind of hype. :) He's also a small kine RED RAIDER FOR LIFE on the D.L..hahahaha. SSHH!! ;-p
And thats pretty much it, well at least thats whats worth sharing :) Until next time, heres a video of our Cheer, my baby girl is on the bottom right doing her thang like its no ones bizz... :) Thats how you knows she a True Red Raider lol. She got Spirit! YES she does :) EnJoY!!
