I know that I've MIA for the past few months and I should be better, haha!<br />
<br />
Life has been busy, I'll give you that. With school and work AND James and I are now owners of a business. Believe it or not. We became one of those people. We joined a networking company called Life Leadership. James first heard about it from a friend at work, when James told me about it, honestly I thought it was a scam. Later on after learning a little more about the company, it didn't seem that bad. But we were still skeptical. We then found out from a friend, that we look up to very much, that he was in it and that it was real and it really works. After prayer and study, we decided to join. After three weeks we qualified to become something called "PBO" which means, "Personal Business Owner." We had reached a goal that we wanted in such a short time. This company teaches skills and offers financial help to those who want/need to be better with their money. It also offers a lot information on getting out of debt and staying out of debt. You can also be apart of the business and MAKE MONEY in the process. James and I have only been in it for 6 weeks and we've made $50. I know that doesn't seem like a whole lot, but it'll just keep going up. Our mentor makes about $80,000 a MONTH! We love the people too! Everyone is working towards goals and becoming a better person. If you want to know more, let me know!<br />
<br />
Any who, where I was going with that was, since James and I are PBO's we qualified for a "PBO Party" where we went skiing, snow shoeing, did archery, and ate bomb food all for free! Our company paid for it! It was awesome! We had a blast!<br />

We also had the opportunity to witness the dedication of the 150th temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! The Provo City Center Temple! It was a beautiful meeting and I could feel the Spirit and I learned a lot. It was an amazing experience to witness a building being dedicated to God for His work. A building where amazing things happen, where people strengthen their bond with God, where families become eternal, where blessings are given, where prayers are answered and so much more! I loved every second.</div>

Things have crazy busy. You know how life goes haha!<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3y_H42mtEms/VqpTxfPc89I/AAAAAAAADwI/--hD-s_ie8k/s1600/IMG_3517.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3y_H42mtEms/VqpTxfPc89I/AAAAAAAADwI/--hD-s_ie8k/s320/IMG_3517.JPG" width="240" /></a>Well, Christmas was fun! It was small, but nice. We opened new pajamas on Christmas Eve and we were excited for Santa Clause to come visit us :). We woke up Christmas morning and it was cold and snowy outside which was PERFECT! We had a big yummy breakfast and then relaxed, went through our stockings, and watched Christmas movies. Santa gave us a lot of chocolate haha! Then we opened gifts. I got a new wallet and a new purse. James got a web cam for his computer, clothes and a pocket knife. Santa also gave both of us the game of Scrabble. We love that game. It was nice to be there together. For dinner we just have snacky finger foods. We were still full from breakfast and chocolate haha! It was fun! Oh and we went to see the Christmas lights on Temple Square! <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kBUuPjIy4Hs/VqpUY4SSpfI/AAAAAAAADwg/sxaO9VWzBTw/s1600/IMG_3521.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="178" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kBUuPjIy4Hs/VqpUY4SSpfI/AAAAAAAADwg/sxaO9VWzBTw/s320/IMG_3521.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />

<br />
<br />
Then for New Years, we were super relaxed! Haha! I'm not even going to lie, we went to sleep at like 10:00pm... I woke up at midnight and woke James up and wished him a Happy New Year and then we went back to sleep haha!<br />
<br />
Since then, Ive started semester number two at BYU and I'm excited for it! I'm taking my religion class, Sociology 300 (LOVE this class!), Statistics, and Samoan :). I love all my classes!<br />
<br />
Work is going great too! I love working at the MTC! Missionaries are the best!<br />
<br />
I'm super devoted this new year. I have made some new years resolutions, so my hope to reach my goals! Well here they are:<br />
<ol>
<li>be healthier (like half the world is doing haha)</li>
<li>expand my vocabulary</li>
<li>do my scripture study everyday</li>
<li>complain less!</li>
</ol>
<div>
Well there they are. And so far... SO GOOD! Not even joking! James and I have been getting up at 4:00am Monday through Friday to go to the gym and we plan out our meals and we're eating super healthy! We love it! But today is only day ten of our journey, but we're moving along :). And I haven't missed a day of my scripture study and I love that! It feels like my mission again! I have about an hour every morning to have a little personal study, it's the best! As far as expanding my vocab, I'm constantly writing down new words and looking in the dictionary haha! And I'm still working on the complaining thing. It will get better with time!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm really excited for 2016! I seriously feel like this is going to be a great year! The year of <i>change.</i> I like the sound of that :).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope everyone is doing great! Tell me your resolutions!</div>

I lived in Idaho for a 18 months of my life. I served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints there in Idaho. And it was an incredible experience!<br />
<br />
My husband and I were able to go up to Idaho and visit people and see the sights. It was wonderful!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bL3dZvCFVjs/VmoMxeAnbqI/AAAAAAAADvQ/WId_XoIpLfI/s1600/IMG_3338.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bL3dZvCFVjs/VmoMxeAnbqI/AAAAAAAADvQ/WId_XoIpLfI/s400/IMG_3338.JPG" width="223" /></a>We started off our trip in the morning and I was sooooo excited! We stopped in Grace, Idaho (a super small town). My last companion (Sister Hunkin) is serving there and I got to see her!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4BNSrOtl9F4/VmoLBkd2NCI/AAAAAAAADu8/7kx-v2eCMg0/s1600/hunkin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4BNSrOtl9F4/VmoLBkd2NCI/AAAAAAAADu8/7kx-v2eCMg0/s320/hunkin.jpg" width="220" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was good to see her and for her to meet my husband. She is so great and she is working hard! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next was to...<span style="font-size: x-large;">THE JOLLEY'S!!!!! </span>Whoooo! I was so excited!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We met Zoey at her work and she waxed our eyebrows! (I needed that!) And she waxed our noses. That was an interesting experience haha! We stayed in Chubbuck, Idaho! We were able to hang out together with the Jolley family and chat it up! This time in jeans instead of a skirt and no 9:00pm curfew haha! It was amazing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next day James and I went to Idaho Falls, Idaho. My first area as a missionary and my longest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We stopped at Reed's Dairy! The ice cream is sooo good!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm currently taking a Book of Mormon class at BYU and one of our assignments is a project due at the end of the semester. I wanted to make a short video that could help people know that the Book of Mormon can change lives. Now this video means so much more to me than just a school assignment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The Book of Mormon holds truths that can change your life. Just put it to the test. You will see for yourself the positive change it brings. </div>

Our Thanksgiving was small, but fun!<br />
<br />
We started the Thanksgiving festivities off as I always had my whole childhood.... WITH DOUGHNUTS! Yum! Then watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! It was fun! Then here was the change of pace... I was in charge of cooking. My FIRST Thanksgiving meal that I had to cook. No pressure. But everything turned out perfect! It was just the husband and me, so it wasn't too difficult :). We has a delicious feast and we were sooooo fool. We had apple pie and ice cream for dessert! We napped and watched Christmas movies. It was such a good holiday!<br />

We moved to this new place and into an apartment that we had only seen on the computer. It was weird at first, but we've really come to love it here :). It may be small, but it's ours. We like it. I posted a while back about moving in and I promised before and after pics of our set up. When we first moved in all we had was a bed and a couch haha! But now that we've gotten more settled, we've been able to make our place a home. We aren't renovating or anything fancy, I guess you could say it's just a little interior designing :). There are still more things to do, but I think it's okay to show you some things now :).<br />

There is still more things we want to do, like put up more pictures! (We love pictures and we have an empty wall). And maybe another place to sit haha! But we have our couch and we both have desks now for studying and working! I pretty excited about that because I got my desk two days ago haha!<br />
Things are good and we'll keep on keeping on slowly. It's been fun to see the place change :).Moanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14156349873216968016noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136903086759224067.post-27223547801178597442015-11-18T19:55:00.001-08:002015-11-21T09:49:33.202-08:00Because Change is Real.I've got to be honest. Over these past few weeks/months things have been off, personally. Like somethings missing. I've been trying to figure out what it is. It's been bugging and me and after trying different things I still felt lost. However, it is kind of funny to see how Heavenly Father works with me. It is SO subtle (sometimes I wish it wasn't so subtle). I usually miss the signs the first few times haha! But I know that God is helping me learn something in the process. I remember praying and asking God to help me find the missing piece or make the feeling to away.<br />
<br />
As time passed I continued to pray for the same thing and I still constantly felt like something was missing in my life. But what? My scripture study has been super great, I'm saying my prayers (personally and with my husband), I'm attending my church meetings, fulfilling my visiting teaching, school at BYU is going fantastic, I love my job at the MTC, my husband is so supportive, generous, kind and wonderful to me. I even started indexing haha! What the heck was missing?! My life sounded perfect. Why was I feeling this way? I was so frustrated. It made me sad. Why was God ignoring me?<br />
<br />
Then just this past week I've noticed small little insights that I've gained and little by little I'm beginning to realize what the missing piece is. I still don't know exactly what that piece is, but I've been inspired by the Spirit of small changes I needed to make in my life and I've been much happier since those changes have been made.<br />
<br />
It all started when my husband finally reached a goal he had been working toward! He was so happy and filled with so much motivation. He said to me, "when you have a goal and you work hard to achieve it, then you will." That really stuck with me.<br />
<br />
Then a little later in my Book of Mormon class we talked about agency and how we have the power to choose. To choose righteousness or disobedience. I thought to myself that I have the choice to be happy. It's MY choice.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another little moment was just this past week when I read a blog post from a sister from my mission who had just returned home, (Emily Rawlins--<a href="http://thesimplebeauties.blogspot.com/2015/11/on-returning-and-adjusting.html" target="_blank">Her blog</a>). She said this, </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The hardest adjustment is figuring out who I am now. I'm not the person I was before the mission, nor am I the person I was during the mission. Those seasons of life are over. Those time have passed. I need to now become the<span style="background-color: white;"> </span>person I am during this season of life." </blockquote>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I realized that I totally skipped that when I returned home from my mission. I don't know who I am. I'm not the me I was before the mission and I'm not Sister Faagai either. I guess these past months I was trying to be some combination of the two; I don't know. All I know is that I need to be the person that God needs me to be <b>right now</b>. I know who I <i>want</i> to be, but I'm not there yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I need to change.</div>
<br />

Al Fox Carraway (if you don't about her, look her up! She's awesome) came and spoke at my school. She talked about change. It was like she was talking to me. I even bought her book afterwards haha! And there's a part of the book entitled "Change." It talks about a bishop that asked a group of young women, "What is the most important part of the gospel." She says that the girls yelled out the answers like, "prayer." "Sacrament." Etc. Those are all awesome answers, but the bishop shook his head. The bishop said... <i>"the most important part of the gospel is that people can change."</i><br />
<span id="goog_1374749346"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">BOOM!!</span><br />
<br />
Okay Heavenly Father. I get it. Haha.<br />
<br />
<i>Change is real.</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-khjMkkTCD8A/Vk1EM2hP84I/AAAAAAAADq4/xUJFAYo7yC0/s1600/Unknownc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-khjMkkTCD8A/Vk1EM2hP84I/AAAAAAAADq4/xUJFAYo7yC0/s320/Unknownc.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I know now that are things that I need to change in my life. That's my next question to Heavenly Father. What should I change? I feel like I have an idea of some things that I need to change. Such as, I need to stop trying to be the person before my mission and I also need to stop living as if I'm still 'Sister Faagai'. I need use the things I've learned and apply them to help me find who I am meant to be right now.<br />
<br />
I need to change:<br />
<ul>
<li>By having more meaningful scripture study & use the study methods taught by Elder Bednar</li>
<li>By having better eating habits and a create a healthier lifestyle</li>
<li>By prioritizing things better</li>
<li>By having more charity</li>
<li>By being more humble</li>
<li>By building my confidence</li>
<li>By sharing the gospel more often</li>
<li>By focusing on being spiritually fed</li>
<li>By finding and KEEPING my motivation</li>
<li>By NOT comparing myself to others</li>
</ul>
I know that I'm slowly becoming who God needs me to be right now. Like really slow; before, it kind of felt like I was moving through molasses. But now that I know there are changes that I need to make, it's making things move a little nicer.<br />
<br />
I know I'm not perfect and I'll be working toward that my whole life. But I know that I can work everyday to get closer. I'm grateful for Jesus Christ and His perfect example. <br />

I want to share this quote with you by President Henry B. Eyring:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314);"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Most of us have had some experience with self-improvement efforts. My experience has taught me this about how people and organizations improve: the best place to look is for small changes we could make in things we do often. There is power in steadiness and repetition. And if we can be led by inspiration to choose the right small things to change, consistent obedience will bring great improvement."</span></span></blockquote>

So I've been feeling super unmotivated lately.. Especially in my schooling. When I have tests or papers due, I wait until the last minute to cram in information and write it out. This is SO UNLIKE me. I usually start my study preparation about two weeks before the exam and I usually start working on a paper the moment I hear about it. My "unmotivated self" always feels tired and stressed out. But my "organized/plan ahead self" feels calm and everything is done at good quality and turned in on time. I miss the "organized/plan ahead self."</div>
<br />
AND, I've been working on registering for classes next semester and now that I have a degree I'm working toward, its crunch time! I need to straighten up and do better. I just can't find the motivation. Ugh... It's annoying. On the bright side I got a gym membership and I have been working out in the mornings! So thumbs up for that! And only that haha!<br />
<br />
All I'm saying is that I need to be better. Starting now. In our Family Home Evening this past week, my husband shared this message from President Dieter F. Uchdorf:<br />
<blockquote>
"<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">How many times have we started something and not finished? Diets? Exercise programs? Commitments to read the scriptures daily? Decisions to be better disciples of Jesus Christ? </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">How often do we make resolutions in January and pursue them with red-hot determination for a few days, a few weeks, or even a few months only to find that by October, the flame of our commitment is little more than cold ash?</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">One day I ran across a funny picture of a dog lying next to a piece of paper he had shredded. It read, “Certificate of Dog-Obedience Training.”</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We are like that sometimes.</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have good intentions; we start strong; we want to be our best self. But in the end we leave our resolutions shredded, discarded, and forgotten.</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">It’s human nature to stumble, fail, and sometimes want to drop out of the race. But as disciples of Jesus Christ, we have committed not only to begin the race but also to finish it—and finish it with our torch still burning brightly. The Savior promised His disciples, 'He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved'." </span></blockquote>
Hmmm... How many times? I'm recommitting to finish the things I start. Our budgeting, my projects, diet, my education, etc. I need to stay motivated and do this once and for all.<br />

At it's FinestSooooooo, college. It's, well, going. My classes are fine and stuff, but I feel like I'm always either, at work, in class, doing homework, studying, or cleaning the house (and then I'm sleeping the other 6-7 hours of the day). Don't get me wrong, I still do fun things from time to time, like date night once a week with my husband!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Anywho, I feel like I need a hobby, you know?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So I'm asking all of you!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>HELP ME FIND A HOBBY!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here are my stipulations:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>It's gotta be fun</li>
<li>Not expensive</li>
<li>Something I can do in the winter and summer (it doesn't have to be outdoors, but it can if you got a good idea)</li>
<li>Not too time consuming (a hobby that I can stop and pick back up if need be)</li>
<li>Something that I can do on my own (it can also be something that can include other people, but if I was by myself, I'd still be able to do it)</li>
<li>Something to help me <i>actually </i>take a break from from my "to-do list"</li>
</ul>
<div>
Alright everyone, if you have good suggestions of ideas, let me know! You can comment on this post, or message me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or my email - moanafaagai@yahoo.com. </div>

Welllllllllll, in other news, I found out what I going to major in!! I've been meeting with the career advisor at my school for a while now and after several meetings, tests, sorting through results, researching potential majors, I found it! I'm majoring in.... SOCIOLOGY! I'm excited! It's SO different from when I started college (as a pharmacy major). I'm interested to learn why people do what they do. And my minor is in Family Life. So many adventures up ahead! My goal is to graduate in two years. Hopefully sooner than that, but we'll see :). I feel like I'm finally working toward something now :).<br />
<br />
OH YA!<br />
P.S. I like to do calligraphy a little :)<br />

So many fun memories! It was wonderful seeing my mission president and his wife! And James got to meet them too! It was wonderful and I got to see so many people I served around! It was amazing! Then we drove up to Ogden to got to James' reunion! That was fun too! I got to meet James' mission president and his wife. They are definitely awesome people! And I can tell that they care for James very much. And I was able to meet people that James served with/around. All-in-all it was such a wonderful night!</div>

I learned so much! And is was great to see who the three new apostles are! So many good quotes and words of advice and counsel. I loved every minute. I can't wait to read it all in the ensign and study everything! It's my favorite :). If you missed it, that's alright, just click the picture above and you'll get caught up :).</div>

I just want to tell you that I love Provo! It has been a blast being here and seeing friends and learning and being back in school. I LOVE SCHOOL! I love the assignments, the challenges, being busy, the due dates, etc. I know, I'm weird, but I like those kinds of things, haha!<br />
<br />
So last week James and I and one of our friends, Vanessa, went to Logan, Utah. It was fun! We went up for some of James's mission companion's farewell testimonies, because they were preparing to head home the next day. It was so fun to see him with all of these men that he came to know and grow close to. It was wonderful! We were also able to visit and stay with some other friends of ours! Laurin and Dillon (Vanessa's sister and bro-in-law)!<br />
<br />
We visited Utah State campus (where James served on his mission)! We went to the Aggie A!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dOFUYDSI_k0/Vf4JNSGL7hI/AAAAAAAADmI/7uHpb7eRIro/s1600/IMG_2821a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dOFUYDSI_k0/Vf4JNSGL7hI/AAAAAAAADmI/7uHpb7eRIro/s400/IMG_2821a.jpg" width="286" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vCTkKi7hA4Y/Vf4LPSFWWYI/AAAAAAAADnU/HqLkT1db0LU/s1600/IMG_2811a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vCTkKi7hA4Y/Vf4LPSFWWYI/AAAAAAAADnU/HqLkT1db0LU/s400/IMG_2811a.jpg" width="286" /></a><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was a blast! We had so much fun visiting people from his mission too! We visited some members he worked with and some Elders he served with. It was so fun to meet new people!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also hung out at the Logan temple!</div>

You know.Soooo, I officially finished my first week back to school after TWO YEARS! I was so nervous the first day. I was thinking, "what if I don't remember how to do this?" "what if I don't know how to be normal?" I was freaking out! But of course, it worked out (it always does). My first class was Doctrines of the Book of Mormon. What a wonderful class to start of the week and start off the day. My professor is hilarious! We're learning more about the "inside" of the Book of Mormon. More than just reading from cover to cover, but studying and getting lost in its words. I LOVE it!<br />
<br />
Then I had my Samoan class! Hahaha! That class is the best! My teacher is from Samoa and he is sooo funny! The class is full of a bunch of polynesian kids and we laugh so much (of course while learning haha).<br />
<br />
Then there's my Family Finance class. I love that class too!!! I'm definitely learning in there. AND then there's my Accounting 200 class... First off, my professor is so great! She's funny and very passionate about helping us learn. The class has about 600 students... we have class in the auditorium. So that's a little different for me, but I'm dealing with it haha!<br />
<br />
Along with barely starting school and getting back into the swing of things, James and I have been on a crazy job hunt! And let's just say that the Lord is definitely mindful of all His children. We've been praying and praying for job opportunities and to get hired. After several interviews, God has provided for us :). I got a job at the Missionary Training Center Bookstore. And James got a job and a Pest Control company here in Provo. We are so blessed and we are so grateful!<br />
<br />
Well, with all this newness in my life, I've noticed a change in myself. Not a change that I've wanted. I've noticed that I've been a lot more timid. That is not me! I'm not saying that I go up and talk to every person I see. But I'm usually pretty good at talking with others and introducing myself and trying out for clubs or teams, but that hasn't been the case with me. So I'm making a goal with myself and you're going to help hold me accountable.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="background-color: white; color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;">My goal is to do the things that scare me. </i></div>
<span style="background-color: white;">I know that I can't do EVERYTHING, but I going to try to do almost everything that scares me. Anywhere from asking an employee at Wal-mart for help, to trying out for the intramural soccer team <span style="font-size: x-small;">(I'm not actually going to try out for the team--not because I'm scared--just because I don't want to and I don't have time haha, but you get my point)</span>. Anyway, it's time for change.</span><br />

OH! And here are some more updates to our Utah adventures thus far! We've been to the BYU Creamery! Which is a must if you ever get the opportunity to come to Provo. And we went to the Provo temple, which neither of us had been to since we were missionaries. It was a crazy time capsule thing happening in my mind haha!! And there's this awesome old bookstore that sells a bunch of old/used books! It's so cool!</div>

I got to see the Jolley family!!! They are amazing! The best family ever! MY family :). They took my husband and I to Lagoon in Utah. It's an amusement park/water park and it is soooo fun! We rode fun and thrilling roller coasters, got soaked by water, ate good food, and most importantly, spent a day with my favorite people! Classic Jolley time is what I like to call it :). I've missed them so much and I can't wait to go to Idaho to visit them!<br />

And we finally made it to Utah and to our cute little apartment! For those who don't know, we live in a basement apartment. It's tiny, but it's ours and we love it! </div>

New adventures are in our future! I can feel it! I start school in a week and I'm applying for a job at the MTC (Missionary Training Center). I hoping I can work there and if not, that's alright too! I'm just so grateful for the opportunity and to be here in Provo. We also went to our new ward today and it was so fun! A little family ward. I'm excited to be a part of it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was also able to hang out with one of my companions from my mission yesterday! Alison Linford! She's hilarious! It was wonderful catching up with her and spending time with her. She gave me tour of BYU campus and took me to the good Provo spots! Love her! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm so excited to be here! I can't wait to see what God has in store for me! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(P.S. I'll post before and after pics of the apartment soon!)</div>

It's August 14th... you know what that means! Two years ago today I left my family, friends, and my life at home so I could serve a full time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for a year and a half in Idaho. A mission that changed my life forever. Where my love and faith in our Savior, Jesus Christ was strengthened, where I shared my testimony with complete strangers, and then these strangers became some of my best friends, where I was tested, yelled at, cursed at, cared for, and embraced. A mission where I had a front row seat to seeing the effect of the Atonement in people's lives. Where I witnessed miracles; experienced failure and success. Where I felt the power of the Spirit, so much stronger than you or I, work through me, because my own was not enough. A mission where my weaknesses became strengths. Where I learned more deeply about the plan that God has for all of us. And where I had a burning desire to do whatever it took to help others know that plan too. A mission where I learned so much. And now, I'm still learning. But thanks to that wonderful mission; it jump started the rest of my life. I may not know everything about this life, but I do know that I have this time to learn what God needs me to. And I know where I'm going. I know the gospel of Jesus Christ is true and can bring us even more and lasting happiness than we can imagine. See for yourself :)</span></span></span><br />

I really do.. But sometimes, that's what it comes down to, you know?<br />
<br />
This last week in Oklahoma has been so much fun! Filled with family, adventures, good food and more! I could not be more grateful for the time I've had here.<br />
<br />
Now if you don't know too much about Oklahoma, there's this great ice cream place that was started here and it's called Braum's. It's pretty good! If you ever make it to Oklahoma stop by there. Anywho, so I've lived in Oklahoma for a while now and my husband has work at Braum's for several years, but we've never been to the Braum's factory here in Oklahoma (the headquarters) where they give free tours and free ice cream. So we thought, what an appropriate activity for our last days in the OK state. We had so much fun watching them make ice cream, milk, fresh waffle cones, freshly baked bread, and a lot of other yummy foods. And we saw a lot of their cows that they milk twice a day and we learned how they get the food to the stores the same day the food is made. It was so fun! (P.S. I would've taken pictures, but we weren't allowed to.. Sorry).<br />
<br />
Then we had a going away get together with the family. Those are always fun, but it was sad to start saying some goodbyes... I'm going to miss them all so much!<br />

For most of my life I knew that He loved me and that He is always there for me. I never truly felt alone. And for a year and a half of my life I was able to help others feel that love. It was amazing and I was able to feel His love even more! I KNOW that He loves us. And I don't about you, but I am SO imperfect and I make mistakes everyday, but I do KNOW that He atoned for our sins so that we can return to our Heavenly Father. Thank goodness for that! And I KNOW that we can learn more about Jesus Christ and His teachings from the Book of Mormon. Which is another volume of scripture that goes hand-in-hand with the bible.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
The Book of Mormon has helped me so much and has blessed my life! It has answered questions that I've had and taught me principles that I will forever treasure. I KNOW it to be a true book. The truest book in the world! One of the things that love about this book is that you don't have to take my word for it. This is a book with a wonderful promise! It promises everyone that if you read it and pray and ask God if it is true, then God will answer your prayer and tell you that it is true. So I invite you all to do that. Read and pray. Even if you already have, do it again. I KNOW that God will answer your prayer!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I KNOW these things to be TRUE! </div>

Oh my! So it has been a fun filled week! I'm just trying to make most of these last weeks I have here in Oklahoma with these kids. After all we move to Utah in 12 days! AHHH! PLUS I had to get a break from packing.... It was starting to make me crazy haha! Anyway, so I took the kids to <span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;">the Zoo</span> to get them out of house and in to the sun and they had a lot of fun! We got to see the animals and play in the water too!<br />

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!<br />
<br />
AND the weather was great, even though it was like 104 degrees haha!<br />
<br />
All in all, a 15 hour drive there and back was worth it! Every second.<br />

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 <i style="font-weight: bold;">July 7, 2015</i>. 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 <i>other</i> nephew belongs to my other sister. Are you confused yet? Haha)<br />
<br />
Anywhooooo..<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">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! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">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!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
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..</div>

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! :)</div>

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

<span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">BIRTHDAY YO!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Guess who had a birthday!? This girl! And it was fun fun! As I get older, I realize that all I<br />
really want on my birthday is to spend time with the people I love, you know? And eat good food haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So my birthday fell on a Sunday this year (June 14th), so the husband took me for birthday festivities the day before on Saturday :). We went to the temple, which is ALWAYS amazing :). Then we went to Dave & Busters for the first time. It was fun, but I'm not sure if we'll do it again haha! Then he took me to Red Lobster (because I love sea food). Then he took me to the movies to see Tomorrowland! All was wonderful and I had a blast! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then the next day was the birthday :). ON SUNDAY! And for those who don't know, Sunday is pretty much my favorite day of the week!!! So, we went to church and that was wonderful!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L5y8lJ3Pdgs/VX9i6F8m5pI/AAAAAAAADEo/NgIw4m4AiQg/s1600/123123.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L5y8lJ3Pdgs/VX9i6F8m5pI/AAAAAAAADEo/NgIw4m4AiQg/s640/123123.jpg" width="330" /></a></div>

Then I went to my grandparent's house for Indian Tacos! AND I even got to FaceTime/talk to one of my FAVORITE families! <span style="font-size: large;">THE JOLLEY'S!!!</span> They are just amazing! It was fun to hear them sing to me and hear about all their adventures going on! I miss them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
