Rain.Rain.Rain

Okay so this week or more so the last few days it has been soooo rainy. Today when I went to church I got drenched. It was not fun. Sitting in the air conditioned chapel and being cold because I was so wet. And as I speak it is still raining. Not fun when we don't have a car or a bike.. and I walk every where I go and we have 3 umbrella's and only one of them is really helpful because two are broken. Oh well I do like the rain it makes it cooler in the house, and then we don't really have to use the fans as much.

Okay so it's been like two weeks since I blogged about what's going on here. But that is mainly because I don't feel like much is going on here. John is busy with his class, his calling, being in the Samoan Club presidency and well now working again. He has been working as a tutor for the Samoan language classes, but they don't teach that during the summer so he didn't have anyone to tutor so he was out of a job. So now he is going to work doing maintenance around TVA (Temple Valley Apartments-the name of our married housing). So far he's only worked there this week, but he has loved it. His bosses are great, a couple of Samoan guys, and he works with Kai a kid that I went to high school with, he played football with Cade, and actually served his mission in Samoa too. John also decided that he wanted to work another job... I don't know why I work a lot and we don't really need it, but he wants to stay super busy. He works over at PCC in the shops where I used to work.

Not much has changed for me. I feel like I work all day every day. When I get home all I want to do is sleep. I get up and have to be to work at 6 then most days don't get home till around 7 or 8. I get breaks in between but I don't feel like I get much done. I have started to try and use my crockpot. I bought it from a girl in my ward as she was moving for only 13 dollars. I thought it was a great buy. So far I have cooked chicken and pork in it. Both turned out pretty good. I would like more recipes if anyone has some.

Oh so a funny thing about being in a student ward, I swear all the sisters are pregnant. I can count about 17 that I know about. It's pretty crazy. It's always changing too. I was so happy to hear that Cade and Hayli (brother and sister-in-law for those that don't know) are expecting. I am so excited for them. But I have to admit it is weird thinking that my little brother ( I know not really little when it's only a 5 month gap, but I am still older so I am going to call him my little brother) is going to be a dad.

It is such a dark and gloomy day outside with the rain. I'll try to get pictures of the fun flooding going on in some areas. Hope everyone is doing well. Love you!! Once again Happy Mothers Day!!

Happy Mothers Day!!!!!

It's mothers day. I love mothers day even though I am not yet a mother. I have a great mother that has and still does amazing things for me. My mother took me in when I had no where else to go. She taught me right from wrong. She taught me how to count and to say my abc. She taught me how to read, and write the correct way. She taught me how to cook and clean. How to do my laundry. She taught me how to be a lady. I am so grateful for all that my mother has done for me. She has been a great example for me. Because of her I am who I am today. Mom I love you to much. I hope that you know it even though I don't always say it.

To all my wonderful sisters-in-law, all 6 of them, I hope you all have a great mothers day. Thanks for being great example of mothers. Always making sure your kids come first. Thanks for giving me the chance to be a aunt to all your kids. I look forward for the day that I get to be a mom and use all the things that I have learned from all of you!!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!
