Fresh Start:)

          So, fall of last year were full of changes for my family & I.. the main thing was that we moved wards from the Fruitland [palangi ward] here in Puallup where we've been for the past 4 years to Allenmore [samoan ward] in Tacoma; where Joon grew up in. It wasn't an easy decision.. tho people were telling us that there's nothing but DRAMA in that ward & our kids won't like it.. Turned out to be the exact opposite..My boys love the ward esp. the kids in the Primary & I think just being around brown people ..lol.. makes them feel more comfortable. Don't get me wrong I loved our Fruitland ward & the wonderful people there but we thought that it was time for a change & that maybe we can adapt to being in a Poly ward again. Three weeks after joining the Allenmore Ward I recieved a calling.. 2nd Counselor in the YW's:) After being in the palangi ward for almost 5 years me nor Joon has ever had a calling there..I don't know why.. but I felt more than excited to finally be serving. Although we were NEWBIES in the ward everyone showed us nothing but love & really made us feel welcome.

          I was very nervous to have such a big calling since it felt like I just got out of the YW's program..lol.. I prayed alot about this calling & I know that eventhough it was a little overwhelming in the beginning I was chosen to be a leader to these girls & all I had to do was have faith that everything will be okay:) It's been 5 months now & I'm loving every minute of it; there's sum bumps along the road but hey no journey is smooth.. You gotta just roll w/ the punches:) Glad to say that Joon is also serving in the Youth as Advisor for the Preist in the YM's. It's only been a short time joining this ward but we've met sum great people & made awesome friendships! I'm grateful for the amazing leaders that I serve with & I'm stoked to  see what great success we can have with these girls this year! Here's to a FRESH START:) 

Hate Flu Season:(

*1.16.11* My boys the day before they got sick:(

  So, it's that time of the year when Sickness comes knockin' @ our door & man was it bad:( My boys were sick for about 2 weeks & so was Hubby.. I had to strap on my SUPER MOM cape & fight off these germs full force..lol.. It really took a toll on me mentally & physically, One day I just couldn't take it & went off @ Zion cause he was asking for juice & I haven't made it to the grocery store to buy more. He looks @ me with tears in his eyes & says.." Sorry Mom, I didn't mean to be sick". I just broke down.. how could I have yelled @ him over juice? I held him in my arms & apologized for yelling & that mommy was having a bad day. I realized that this is part of being a Mom.. Even thou  times get tough we gotta stay focused on the task @ hand & keep it moving. I'm glad to say that they are all Healthy once again:) Except for my Hubby's GOUT..omg! I'll save that for another Post.LOL.. xoxo
