AUGUST 2015

Quick Updates and Memories

Work 
 I started a new work schedule this month! I now get to work 4 days instead of 5 and I love it!! I just work longer hours Wed-Saturday and get Sunday, Monday and Tuesdays off!! Who doesn't love constant three day weekends! I am also happy to report I was the WOW of the month at work. Woot woot!

We jumped on the smartphone bandwagon!
We did it...we got smartphones! After searching online and all through the Pearlridge mall  we decided to go with Verizon. I have to say I am loving my phone but it is taking a little getting used to. We decided to go with the minimum data plan and I think it will be perfect for us!

Cool memory from my journal August 21, 2015

Right as I walked in the door Randy whips out fresh guac and corn ships.
Let's go--quick! he says.
Where are we going?! I ask.
To watch the sunset!
I was so giddy.
Let's go to Indicators and back up the car and sit in the back! he says with so much excitement.
I was in heaven eating guac and chips in our Saturn trunk watching the sunset. The water and sky were amazing and we stayed and talked for an hour or two discussing life, politics, work, and babies.

Going to the temple with Kahiti
This was a big deal. She has been wanting to go for some time now but was always a little hesitant because she was in a wheelchair. With the encouragement of her niece, Viviana, we convinced her to renew her recommend and go to the temple. She was a temple worker when she was younger and absolutely loved it. At work she would tell me regularly about stories and experiences she had while working in the temple.

 

Let's get this party started!
With Elise's wedding approaching in September I decided to head down at the end of August to go help my mom with all of the wedding festivities and probably to just have an extra excuse to hang out with my family longer too. Although we started working on wedding details we made sure to have fun by doing a float down the river.

Right before he took me to the airport 

Testing out some reception concoctions

We survived our float down the river!

How many inner tubes can you fit in a car?

Love my home :)

Random Memories from this month

Behold Laie practice with the youth

Malie was supposed to give us a ride on her golf cart till it died half way down our street!

Malie, Randy, and I 

Mono meals are pretty epic

I found this on a random beach walk with my friend. I used to have one of these when I was little! It felt so weird to see it now as an adult. All these fun memories came flooding back to me as I looked at it.
