TALOFA!

Okay everyone! So I've been away for a week on VACATION! Yes vacation is a real thing. Haha! I went to LAS VEGAS! Where I was born and raised :). James and his dad had a bowling tournament and of course I had to tag along. Plus a lot of my family is there! We stayed with my dad and that was fun! We saw a lot of the sights and even went to the house I grew up in! So many great memories! I saw my family and we got together :). Which meant good music, jam sessions and A LOT food! Including Samoan food! It was so fun and James and I went to the Las Vegas Temple! I t was so beautiful!

AND the weather was great, even though it was like 104 degrees haha!

All in all, a 15 hour drive there and back was worth it! Every second.

New Nephew! Number FOUR!

Since I grew up with only sisters, it's been so fun having nephews! Haha! I don't know a lot about baby boys, but it's definitely been a learning process, hopefully I'll get it this time for nephew number 4! Whoo!!! He was born July 7, 2015. It was amazing! I was texting my sister that morning just asking baby questions and wondering when the baby was finally going to come. Then like an hour later I got a picture on my phone of a beautiful new born baby boy and a text that said, "All done!" I laughed at first, haha! Because, that's just my big sister's personality haha! This is baby number four for her (she doesn't have four sons, she's got a girl in there somewhere haha, the other nephew belongs to my other sister. Are you confused yet? Haha)

Anywhooooo..

Meet

Ezekiel Ezra Buckley

(aka cutest baby you'll ever see)

Here are all of my sister's kids! Cute! Right? I can't wait until I can make a trip to Colorado to see them all!

Fourth of July!

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and such. It's such a wonderful time to remember this wonderful country and be grateful for the freedoms we have as a nation! I just love it! My weekend was a blast! James and I both had a three day weekend! Whoo!! We were so excited! So on Friday, I promised James that I'd let him sleep in, however I got up at 6. No worries, I kept myself busy with some laundry and scripture study, haha! Finally he woke up and we went to run some errands for the day. While we were out we got a call from Provo, Utah, from this apartment management company. They called to tell us that.... WE GOT THE APARTMENT!!! Ahhh!!! We were so happy! I'm still so excited and grateful about it! We move in mid-August. Crazyyy! 

Then went to an Independence Day celebration at my grandparents house! It was a blast! A giant jumpy slide, hot dogs, cotton candy and water balloon fights! It was so fun!

Then we had dinner at James' dad's house! Wonderful day it was!!

Then the next day was the actual 4TH OF JULY! WHOO! We went to this fun Carnival with lot's of rides and games! It was fun, but you know why I love Carnivals? For the... FOOD! Oh ya! You know me! I LOVE food and I was there to EAT! For some reason, when you're walking around in the hot sun, you just want some fried food. That's what James and I love to do at carnivals and fairs, is try all the food! So this time we finally got to try FRIED TWINKIES! It was good, not as good as I had hoped, but still pretty delish. We also tried some cheese fries, which tasted like, well, cheese fries haha, nothing too special haha! Then we tried homemade root beer and that was sooo good! And then we tried..... wait for it.... FRIED PINEAPPLE!!!! Oh ya. It was SOOOOOOO DELICIOUS!!! Yummm..

Then we saw a movie, then WAY later on (after our tummies were hungry again) we had a FREE meal at Olive Garden (yum!). And then we ended the night with watching fireworks and doing a little bit of fireworks ourselves! It was wonderful :). I had an amazing Independence Day! I think this is becoming one of my favorite holidays haha! :)

 

Sorry for the Wait

Okay, I have to apologize for taking forever to have a post. Things have been busy with work and trying to find an apartment in Utah. It's been cray! Anywho, we finally made it far enough to fill out an apartment application, so pray we get it! We're really hoping for this one. It's a cute basement apartment, one bedroom, one bath and big kitchen. It's cute! We Skyped the people who live there now to show us the apartment :). I feel really good about it, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up, you know? I've never done this apartment thing, so it's a tad bit stressful... But we're getting through :).

So how have all of you been? I hope well :). Things are going great! My oldest sister has baby number four any day now, and I'm so excited for her and her family, Independence Day is tomorrow (YAY!), James has a three day weekend, and I go to Las Vegas in a week!!!! I'm so excited!!!

Well here's a pic of my and my cousin, Tanner while I was at work :). Haha! We're silly!
