F  03/3

 Challenges: 
Time! This week my schedule was really wonky. Aljay also started downstairs bathroom renovations on Thursday..like 3am Thursday Which means we tried not to cook anything in the kitchen because Aljay had the miter saw and all his tools set up in the kitchen and dining area. But on the bright side....our main floor bathroom is done! Now we just need decor! Feeling accomplished! And flabby....but at least we hitting other goals :)

 Diet!  It's been rough. 

 Accomplishments:
Physically....uh...not really. But I bought a crockpot on Thursday to help out with the situation. It's been a huge help. 
WEEK 2

S  Aljay[gym]

Challenges: Again....it's another tough week. My parents flew in on Wednesday which meant we spent Monday and Tuesday renovating the kids rooms, while trying to keep the house clean, and the family fed. Oh and laundry...oka Maria! Our dryer gave out a while ago so we've been washing clothes and taking it to the laundromat. #teamNOsleep

 Poor Aljay has been so busy with the home projects, picking up and dropping off me and the school kids, and then catering to Mom and Dad's requests. He has been wanting badly to go to the gym, but he's really had no time.  He's da real MVP....

 Accomplishments: We are still alive lol. Still managed to get some kind of exercise in there. 

 P.S. We're moving closer to selling our home and buying our second home!!!! We went on Friday to pick a lot and price out the cost of building! The house model that we are going with is huge but we'll be splitting the cost with Mom and Pops, so the cost will be around $250,000 for us. We're excited, nervous, and anxious to get things moving!

Challenges: time! Mainly its the home projects. It's been fun but not so much for our bodies. Eating has been a mess since our kitchen has been undergoing a facelift. But now the kitchen is close to being complete and we can start anew on Monday lol

 Accomplishments: The kitchen is almost done.

 So um....can we just say Week 3 & 4 have been quite busy for us? lol. 
Kalofae our workouts have been just diminishing. We are feeling it too! Aljay keeps saying how he can feel such a difference from when he does work out everyday. Well....March we started off good and ended on a sad note but April is coming up and I'm sure we'll have more things coming up that will make it even more difficult to get exercise in. Best of luck to us and our bodies lol

Start the year off with two volleyball tournaments for Leila. The picture below is of her and Isa, the only 14-year-olds on their U16 team.  Fires are destroying parts of California, the Palisade area experiencing the worst of it. Texas and some of the southern states are experiencing some of the worst snow/ice conditions. TikTok is on the verge of being banned, President Trump is continuously passing executive orders that are sending people into panic.  Saleima made a list of the disasters and warned us that Jesus was on His way.  Sefa moved up to the Teachers quorum and was ordained by his Dad, Uncle Dennis, and Uncle Ben. He's growing so quickly and I love seeing his growth. They have a great group of young men. I love that they are old enough to plan activities, including attending the temple to do Baptism.  Sefa's also starting U15 7v7 pylons with coach Matt Manuma. He had made the decision to not be held back for football. It's a common practice here in Utah, a...

Being Prepared For These Times

Auuuu that title sounds like I'm trying to write a General Conference talk or something hahaha. Probably still on the GC vibe from the beginning of the month lol. Anyways... So this pandemic that's going on, it's been something else! It has put the whole world on lock down. So many lives have been affected. I've written quite a bit in my journal, but I wanted to make sure to write about how the Lord has prepared our family specifically for this time. Looking back just in February and March, we can easily see how the Lord had orchestrated parts of our lives.  In February Aljay secured an art collector who commissioned several art pieces. His deposit was the cushion that brought a sense of financial security when we entered this lock-down life.  Towards the end of February, my bosses had heard about school closures in Seattle and decided that we should have a plan in place for our advisers to work remotely in case the schools had to close. We honestly didn...

2025 February

Leila - Volleyball and more Volleyball  Leila had two tournaments in February. This club season has challenged her in a good way. She wants to play the outside hitter position but is playing on a 16s team (meaning older girls with more experience) and is sitting in the 3rd spot for out side hitting. To get to the 1 or 2 spot she needs more reps, more practice, and more individual coaching. We're seeing improvements each week, but are planning to set aside money for her to do more 1:1 coaching.  These tournaments are no joke. They are allllll day. 6am - 7pm sometimes. 1-day, 2-day, and sometimes 3-day tourneys. The mental stamina it takes as a parent ahahahahh is a real thing! Trying to say the right things to keep your athlete focused, motivated, and locked in is tough. There are so many things that are over stimulating or compounding: - the non stop sound of whistles and girl's cheering/screaming - the smell of swass in the building that increases as the tournament progresses...
