I did what needed to be done, no regrets

So I have been absent for quite awhile, its not because I don't have time on my hands, because I do. I just have had to deal with a very bad situation at my work and have been trying to figure out how to best handle it. I did what needed to be done, and today was my final meeting. I have no regrets, because I did what was right, even though nothing is being done I can still be at peace knowing I did the right thing. Thanks mom and dad for always teaching me to stand up for myself and to speak out when something is wrong!

“Everybody in this life has their challenges and difficulties. That is part of our mortal test. The reason for some of these trials cannot be readily understood except on the basis of faith and hope because there is often a larger purpose which we do not always understand. Peace comes through hope.”

James E. Faust

I just found this quote and it made me feel better than I have felt these last three weeks.

Happy Birthday

DAD!!! happy birthday! I just wanted to post a few pics of the best dad in the world! Thanks for all you do for me. I hope you have a great birthday.I don't know why these ones are so small....but these are from back in the day with my mom!



Well you are officially an old man...how could I resist posting that picture, so precious!

Love ya

I guess its that time of the month again....

to write a post that is! I notice that I am good for a post about once a month, you know with school and work being pretty much the same ol story everyday! Next week I will be done with my O & P and will have the summer off to prepare for full time student teaching. December please come soon! Can you believe I will be graduating in DECEMBER!!! holy cow these last 4 years have just flown by!

Well some fun things we have been able to do in between our homework and work are

• Go to Suli's work culture night ( cant see the video on here because it is too big but if you are dying to see it check out my facebook page)
• Go to Target for FHE!!!
• Gone surfing (Suli)
• Finally got around to changing my name, and got a Hawaii drivers license.
• Hosting super duper fun parties at our house! ( I finally hung up stuff, so hopefully Saturday I can give you the grand tour)

All Clear

So I packed our clothes, canned food, bottled water, and a 72 hour kit my friend gave me before she left the island. Then I waited, woke Suli up and waited. Then there it was at 6 am the Warning siren going off all through the island. Packed the car and then waited till about 9 am and then we decided to head to higher ground. People went to the Temple, CAC, Stake Center, and The Hawaiian farm behind the school. That is where we decided to go. We set up our tent and then all our friends somehow all showed up to the same place! so we all got together and talked and napped and played ukulele under the shade of a tree.( oh and dug a latrine because there was no bathrooms!) As 11am drew nearer everyone got a little nervous was it going to happen? were we going to be ok? can we really eat tuna, corn and beans for the next however many days? Then nothing....so we waited some more and at 1:30 we got the all clear to head home. It is a weird sight to see everyone coming down from the mountains wearing their backpacks and heading to the empty town, but thank goodness we are ok!! Pray for those in Chile!

tsunami warning

About 3 am the elders quarm presidency came knocking at our doors. "There is a Tsunami headed our way, at 6am there will be a warning siren be prepared to evacuate." Hello can you say SCARY!!! I am up pacing my house thinking of things we might need. Suli is asleep in pain and I am not sure he can even evacuate if he needs to! Well pray for us today!
