Horrible blogger...

Okay so really I know that I am the worst blogger. I don't even know why I do this anymore really. As you can see there is a post that was posted today that I had written back in December.. I think that I was wanting to add pictures to it, but instead it just sat there. So that I why it is there now.

Let's see updates...

January- I quit working at the cell phone place and picked up working at the temple and I love it. I do laundry. Nothing special, but it is a great place to work. I wash all the clothes that people rent. At first I was an on call person, but they needed me so much and a person quit that they moved me over to regular. I get about 25 hrs.. and they pay $10 an hr, so I love it. I would babysit for a girl in my ward, and I loved it.. The little girl's name is Reyna.. and so stinkin cute. She made me miss all my nephews and nieces. I'll put pics up once I remember how to do it again.

February- I don't think to many things happened in February.. John is always busy with school. He was taking 4 major classes, which meant lots of time doing hw and at the library. We went and ate at the cheesecake factory. This was pretty funny because they put us at a table that was slanted and wouldn't hold our food on it really. After a while they did move us to a table, but it was outside.. under the cover, but still close enough that with it raining outside a few got wet.

March- Since I don't write very often my months get all mixed up and I'm not sure what has happened. John got called to the Bishopric of a singles ward. This was pretty crazy. It was a Saturday night when we got the call from the Stake president.

I better tell the story. Our phone rings.
Cassi- Hello
caller- Hello is this the Fuiava's?
Cassi- Yes
caller- Sister Fuiava, how are you?
Cassi- I am doing well, how are you? (still don't know who it is)
caller- I am good. Is your good husband there?
Cassi- Yes he is, let me go grab him. (Hun the phone is for you, I don't know who it is, usually I can tell by the voice, but on this one I had no idea.)
John- Hello
Caller- Hello Ioane, this is President Hanneman, how are you doing?
John- I am good, How can I help you?
Hanneman- Are you available to meet right now? I have some thing that I need to meet with you about and we need to meet right now.

John- We have plans right now, the soonest that we could meet is on Monday. (He wasn't sure that it was President Hanneman, it really didn't sound like him.)

Hanneman, this is kind of important, I need to meet with you asap. Are you sure that you can't meet earlier?

John- Well we could see if we could meet tomorrow, but we have stuff going on all weekend.

Hanneman- Okay let me make some calls and see if we can do it tomorrow.

As he gets off the phone John and I have a conversation where he tells me who is calling. Both of us are really confused. President Hanneman isn't our stake president. He is the stake president of the singles wards. Why would he be calling us? We were so confused. Then I kind of teasingly tell John that well what if he is calling to give you a calling? We still coudln't believe it. But when he called back we did agree to meet with him. The entire way, (the little walk over to the stake center) John was still thinking that we were having someone trying to play a prank on us. It was mid day and the stake center was locked all but one door. And when we go in it is pretty dark, except on the side and the little hallway for the stake presidents office.
But as soon as I saw him I was actually kind of scared.. well I guess not scared.. but I just didn't know what to expect. But I had a good feeling I was going to be seeing my husband less. I was pretty sure he was going to get a calling. Well I was right.. he got called to be the second counselor in the BYU-Hawaii 18th ward. I know that he is needed there. I know that he will do a great job serving those singes. And I am so proud of him for being a worthy priesthood holder that can take on such a demanding calling as that.

April- Well we have had a good month so far.. I started it off trying to play an April Fools joke on my Hawaii friends... but got my family all rattled when the read it too. I said that we were pregnant on facebook. Well we aren't, but it was fun to pretend for a few hours. We really enjoyed General Conference weekend. I always love hearing from our church leaders, even if they do have to put us in our place and call us to repentance on a few things. Graduation was this last weekend and we had a bunch a people that we know graduate. We have some of John's families from New Zealand and Samoa here to visit. We got to spend a bunch of time visiting with them, and getting to know them all. Oh I got released from my calling of 2nd counselor in the Relief Society. I loved having that calling, I got to know so many sisters. But now I will get to join John in the singles ward again.

I think that is it for now.. I will try to be better. I see if I can write a post every Sunday. I am sure that things aren't that interesting. But I am sure just as I want to hear from my family, they want to hear from me.
