Our Humble Abode

Here are some pics of our house in case you wanted to know what it all looks like. It isn't much, but I love it. We don't have much but we love it. It is very cozy.


Also here are the things that we got for Valentines Day. I know that it's early but we both couldn't wait.. And well you know me I am kind of a snoop and as soon as he told me he had bought stuff I couldn't help but look for it. He was kind of sad. I have to do better with that!


Hope you all have a great Valentine's Day and a Wonderful day off on Presidents Day, oh and also a Happy Chinese New Year!!! Love you all and miss you like crazy!


The Fuiava's!!! I love saying that.

What's going on now?

Hello Everyone!!! I know that it has been a while since you heard from me. Things are going so well. John and I love being married. We are getting used to all the things that we get to do together, but I think that we have been able to adjust well. I have been learning how to cook lots of different things. Just tonight I made, Pani Popo. This is a sweet roll bread that is made with coconut milk. I haven't tasted it yet, but I am pretty sure that it will turn out well. We make coco rice, and have hot coco all the time and it is good. John is very good to me and had made dinner several nights. I feel horrible because I know how to cook but it is always simple things and I have a recipe to follow most of the time, I know it's horrible. I'll have to give you all the recipe for pani popo so that you can make it and try it. It's pretty good.

We have both been very busy with school. I leave really early in the mornings about 6:10, and don't get home till later around 4:30 or 5. I love being with the kids, they are wonderful. They can be a handful sometimes, but I just love being with them. I am going to be doing lots of lesson plans and things soon because I will be doing my soloing here shortly. I'm pretty excited about it but also scared because they will all be in my control and their learning will be up to me. John has been busy with work and school. We both get home at night and all we want to do is go to sleep. Oh John's calling in our ward is assistant farm coordinator. It's funny he just loves it. Back home in Samoa he grew up on a farm, so he feels at home there. He isn't a morning person, well at least he hates having to work up, so I have to force him up and out of bed, but once he's up he loves being over at the farm. I don't have a calling in the ward yet, but I am hoping that soon I will.

Our really good friends here had a baby a few weeks ago, and the other night I was able to tend for them. I just love the babies. I miss all of you guys and all the little ones. I have heard that little Ellie is doing great and that Little Kate is just adorable. I have been able to see a few pics and I love her. I hope that you are all doing well and that things are going good. I'll try to update on here every so often.

Aloha!!!

Cassi and John
