Tuning in...

Sorry its been a couple weeks. haha I am usually an avid blogger but i have been slacking the past couple weeks. Recently whats new mostly is just that ... i quit my job at Pizza Hut!! YAHOO!! so happy to be done with that place...and ever more exciting.. Huston got the job he was wanting as a Resident Advisor for married housing here! We are so excited! Things seem to be really working out the way we are planning. We are greatful the Lord has been blessing us.

I am still Homesick. dont think it will ever go away. I cant stand that we are missing all the little things. Recently 6 of the boys i grew up with and have known since jr. high came home from thier missions. and another 8 of my friends have gotten married in the last two months and or are getting married. and my brother getting his patriarchal blessing, and mother in law/brother in law graduating, etc.. just little things. Especially with fourth of july coming up and all the traditions of many summers i have had spending it with my entire family..anyways..I am so happy for everyone. everything. .. even talking to my mom today about lakeside and horse back riding and bike riding etc.. made me miss the mountains. My goodness... only six more months and we get to come home to VISIT. .. as much as we would love to come back now to stay and live.. we know for some reason we are supposed to be here. Everything is working out exactly the way its supposed to. -anyways.. there is my grumble for the day.

The recent talk .. since i am only working part time... still looking for ONE full time position somewhere... that i might go back to school. its still talk.. but i am beginning to get back in the mindset that i am ready. .. we dont know where or doing what yet.. but its been on my mind alot lately. especially since we got set apart for our callings last week(gospel doctrine teachers) and in the blessing the priesthood leader mentioned exactly that, returning to school and doing well in my studies... Hmmm... maybe somebody is trying to tell me something!....?? ... Mom... dont say it.. i know your thinking i told you so. haha... So wish us luck. we shall see what the future holds in store for us. I would like for it to be a baby, but maybe it is school... gosh... haha

-The End

TWOO

step one

Farnsworth's take over Hawaii!!

Last week the Farnsworth's were here visiting us! We had the best time. All these pictures can explain all the fun we had! They are hilarious and such funny people. Trust me, when Saturday rolled around for them to leave, our lives got ALOT quieter, it was sad. and Hence, NOW I AM HOMESICK!!! and cant wait for my family to come out. But we did do alot of fun things, like hike, play on the beach, eat lots of ice cream, have a girls day/boys day, play on the beach, spend time together... We really just enjoyed being with them again, and enjoyed having time off. What a great WEEK!!!! Yahoo!!

Sushi and Chopsticks?????

The first night the Farnsworth's were in town...we ate SUSHI.... what the?? who eats that stuff!? well apparently my in-laws love it. Well it doesnt hurt to try ..and it was actually really good. but.. then what kind of restaurant ONLY HAS CHOPSTICKS?? they didnt even have forks... that was difficult. all in all, i ended up using mostly my fingers. and liking sushi...Kind of... oh and ordering chicken instead. haha... yep.. Cool stuff. So happy they were in town though!!

Me trying to use Chopsticks!??
Sushi?? ...oh man.. this could get difficult!

bahahahaha.. i got it.. Sort of!

the most Raw sushi you can get...??.. good!?? ya.. not too bad!

Best thing ever...

Family in town...and being OFF work is the best thing ever! ..Seriously so glad it worked out. :) thats all!! -now we just have to get the Rainey's(my family) on a plane over here! :)

Recent Highlights....

Just thought i would share some recent highlights!

A. We got to have dinner with Mr. Tolbert last sunday. He used to be my softball coach and has worked for my dad for years. A great role model and teacher. Love the man, he came to oahu and we met up with his family! such a fun time!

B. I have most of next week off to spend time with the Farnsworths and i cant wait!

C. I saw Justin Timberlake through the window of the golf shop. He was golfing at Turtle Bay this week. Weird! .. it was so casual. like nothing ever happened. secretly i was freaking out a little though.

D. Huston Is finished with school and is sooo excited! and got to actually hit up some late season waves last week which made him excited and happy/SORE. haha

E. Huston cleaned the whole house in honor of his family coming, and did the dishes for me like a billion times. I publically should thank him in case i dont enough, and tell him how much i really appreciate his help. It truly rocks not to have to come home from work and do more work around the house. He has been so good about that. I love him so much!

F. Huston also found the newest addition to our family! This Beautiful BRAND NEW LABTOP that i am typing on right this second. He found it in the dumpster... and it literally had never even been turned on. i mean really!? who throws things like that away!?? but its in perfect working condition. and im excited to get everything transferred over to the new one. What a blessing. :)

G. KC and Sherry Really know how to throw a BBQ party! We love spending the evenings at Waimea with them! Last Friday we found a cool little cave in the rocks and played in the water, then ate some nice grub. It was nice!! :)

H. Huston and I made it through a whole 2 weeks not missing one single day of reading our scriptures together. I know some of you are like ... what!?? they dont read!? but its really hard for us... we made more of an effort these two weeks. especially with my work schedule being so crazy... We even read a few times during the evening before i went to work because we knew Huston would be sleeping when i got home. .. Sorry... It is a big accomplishment for us and has made such a difference!! :) .. weird how the simple little things do that huH!?

I love life! :)
