Where to start

Yes, we have not blogged in a long while. Contrary to what you might think, it is not because we did not have anything to blog about, but rather, we've been quite busy. I don't even know where to start.

So I'll just type. First of all, we bought a wii. It has been quite a bit of fun, and is definitely a family oriented gaming console. Lianna and I can both play, and though we haven't played much with it, it is great fun when we do. Here is a picture of Lianna playing Wii... ( Notice that it is not ME playing, as most of the other gaming pictures are.)

Next, and my favorite event for the entire month, is that we had a Japanese exchange student live with us for two days. Her name is Masayo and she was such a delight to have in our home! So kind and gracious, so fun and interesting. Maybe we had so much fun because we made sure to do fun things with her, such as hiking to a lighthouse that over looks the ocean, a constant game of charades, and PCC night show, seeing turtles at turtle beach, the temple visitors center, family home evening, and much more. It is so funny how she became such a part of our family, and we still miss her today. We woke up after she left and our home just felt empty. But we will certainly keep in touch with her. Shes next to me in the picture.










Also, school started, but that isn't much fun or anything new. Im only a part-time student, taking 8 credits. Lianna is taking 14, and this is our last semester here... sad day. Oh well... Onward.

Lastly, I'm working a lot at dominos pizza. The main driver went on vacation.

And don't forget:
