FUIMAONO FAMILY

 March fitness was very very much a struggle. I keep thinking..uuuughh why bother even journaling? Buuuut it's part of the journey and I need to hold myself accountable. So here we are.  Right so....the top pics (wearing red) were from two months ago I think?  And the green ofu pics were from 3/31/2021. I'm about 220lbs in both lol  *K, notes for myself.... 1. Put dates on the pics 2. Have someone else take the pictures.

March 1st - Harrison's Passing  March started off rough with the unfortunate passing of our nephew Harrison. He battled an aggressive cancer but has progressed to the next stage of life. Aljay and I were only able to be at the Thursday viewing since we were the main ones in charge of the food for that evening. I'm grateful that we got a chance to stand next to him and bid him farewell. Although I couldn't attend the family or Bishop's service on Friday (Aljay and I had food/setup crew duties), I know his family put together a beautiful program for him.  Luckily, we were able to see him at the burial site, from the food tent. I didn't get any photos, so I stole these from Gena Taotua lol.  God bless you sweet boy. Ia manuia lou malaga.  March 4th - Brittany turns 30!! Brit's birthday was the same day as the viewing, so of course we postponed all plans we had for her. But it's not like her friends didn't show up for her lol. Ra and the other friend came ov...

This girl was especially annoying leading up to her birthday hahaha. I had given her two options for her birthday.  Option 1 -  Get checked out early from school and eat out for lunch. Cake and ice cream with family.  Option 2 - Take treats to her class.  Cake and ice cream with family.  At first she said treats, but then she asked me if we could go to Hangtime for her birthday. Aljay and I agreed to make it a party, which automatically voided the first two options lol.  But then dis foo kept hinting and suggesting things like....'maybe you can put balloons up and have a Nike bag'. So specific with the Nike bag lol. But then she adde...
