HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!!

I know this is late!!! It was Jason's birthday May 30th. Yeah I know the award goes to me for being the worst wife of the year for not posting his birthday! We were in Hawaii during his birthday (lucky duck) so we had a cake and balloons. He was a little embarrassed that everyone sang happy birthday to him (if you know Jason he doesn't really celebrate his bday. Why? I have no idea!) but being married to me I try to celebrate it as much as I can!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday my love!! Oh yeah.. about the eye patch... Jason got some weird thing going on with his eye while we were in Hawaii and it was all red and goupy I know so gross.. So, sweet Bev got him an eye patch for his birthday! ARRRRRGGG..

FINALLY!!!

I finally got around to blogging! Sorry for the delay on our wonderful trip to Hawaii! This will be a long post. But worth it! Here we are waiting to board the plane!! I was trying to be a little upbeat in this photo.. the day before we left I got sick with food poisioning! BLAH!! Luckly I felt a little better the day we left.. I look a little pale and tired in this photo.. seriously though I was so mad I got sick the day before we left because I had sooo much to do let alone pack everything!!! Luckly my sweet husband got most of it done for me that I needed to get done before we left. And I felt better by the time we left.. I was scared that I had swine flu and that we would have to cancel our trip! Jason kept saying don't let the airport people know you're sick other wise they won't let us on the plane.

Here is our wonderful friends (we think of them as family) Jason has known this family for a very long time and has pretty much adopted Jason as a one of their own. This family is the greatest! They were so kind to let us stay with them in thier time share and spend a week with them. I love these guys!! They are so welcoming and would do anything for anybody! Love you guys! And the 3 little ones.. Oh my gosh!! They are sooo funny!!

This cute little family got sealed for time and eternity while we were their! what cute little family!! And look and Beverly...the bride! doesn't she look great for just having a baby a few weeks ago!?

This sign was awsome!! When were in Kona for a day we stopped by a to get a drink and and these were there stop signs. LOL!

This was jason yummy breakfast while we were in Kona.. We stopped by a cute little restraunt by the ocean in Kona! Doesn't it look delicious!! Blueberry french toast yum!!! I thought it was blog worthy!

It was Ian's birthday and he wanted to go on the train so we headed to Dole Plantation since they have a train ride there. Plus it's where the pineapples grow! (if you know me I LOVE pineapple I would eat it all day if I could) They had the best pineapple sorbe yummy in my tummy let me tell ya I was in heaven!!

This was our awsome view!! Isn't it gorgous! This picture makes me want to go back SOON!!

The lovely sunset!

How do you think he ate this hamburger!? This was at Paradise Burgers. Jason said it was the best hamburger he has ever eaten! That this was huge!

We went parasailing while we were Waikiki.. this was so much fun!! It felt like were just floating in the air.

While I was getting a nice tan on the beach this is what Jason did. It was so funny to watch. We went to the beach almost everyday and all he wanted to do was play in the waves.. I loved watching him.

The Polynesian Cultural Center.. it was fun to learn a little about the differents cultures and I loved watching them dance and hula. How do they move their hips so fast!!

This trip was SO much fun. I hope someday we will have another apportunity to go again. I love the Hawaiian culture, everyone is so laid back and friendly. I cannot thank enough for the Suafoas for letting us stay with them and their time share and for feeding us wonderful dinners! It was so much fun!! We had a blast!!

EXACTLY 30 MORE DAYS!

ONE MORE MONTH TILL WE GO TO HAWAII!!!!! I AM SOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS TRIP. IT IS A MUCH NEEDED ONE!

A BITTERSWEET FEELING

Well today I got released out of the Young Womens. It was so hard! I love these girls soo much!! It's a bittersweet feeling. I have known for 2 weeks and the past weeks I have been remembering the fun times with these girls, of course there were some tears when I thought about them but at least I can see them every Sunday and maybe visit them once in awhile. I have truley loved this calling. The girls taught me so much. In a way I feel like they taught me more then I taught them. I have had so much fun getting to know these girls. I love the young womens program. I think that when I was in YW's that is when I got to know my self more, and my leaders and the girls in yw's were the ones lifting my spirits up when I was having a hard time with my dad and through other difficulties. I have enjoyed seeing these girls grow and learn more and more each day and just having chats with them, I will miss dropping off Alex and her asking if we could talk for a bit in my car out side her house, activities we have gone to together, going boating last summer, playing Ticket to Ride. FUN TIMES!!
So, they did give me another calling which will be a big transition. They called me as second councelor in the primary! AHHHH!! I am so nervouse! Don't get me wrong I love kids but I have no experience I am the youngest in my family and I have been with my nieces and nephews but I am not very good at being around kids. And you know what?! I am sure Heavenly Father gave me this calling for a reason! In fact I know he did! Because he knows how scared I am to be a mother and how I don't know how to be around kids. I know this calling will prepare me to be a mother. It was funny when I told Jason because the first thing he said with his face lite up he said "you going to be prepared to be a mother!" LOL. I laugh about it all the time because I thought it was so cute! He is so great with kids! I think he would rather be in primary then YM's haha. I am excited to be in primary and be able to teach the kids about the gospel. I have been saying that this is a bittersweet feeling for the past few weeks. And I know that I was called to be in young womens for a reason and I know that I am called to be in primary for a reason. Heavenly Father does look out for us!
P.S. Is anyone in primary? If so any advise??
