OCTOBER | Goals

MON, OCT 4th 

 Started off the month with a wonderful recharge from General Conference!! Seriously General Conference is the best watch party ever! Never disappoints and I always feel recharged! And I've been slacking on my monthly goals. So here we are back at getting re-focused. 

So here are the goals I have for myself this month---

  1.  Get back to my Health & Fitness Journey! *separate post for that
  2.  Get back to making monthly goals :)
Here's what I want to complete for our home-- 
  1. Reorganize the Pantry
    Seriously this is the one area in the house that is so hard to get started on! I like to have alll the things I need in place before I start, but I end up having to start and stop so many times! Anyways....it'll all work out. I just need to buckle down and do it!
Progress Report due Oct 31st

[UPDATE]

As promised, here's my follow up with myself lol. 
  1.  Get back to my Health & Fitness Journey! 
    Yes, I did keep track and make a diligent effort! You can check the post for that. 
  2.  Get back to making monthly goals :)
    Duh, that's a given.

  • I started helping our more with the art projects. Yes! I've been promoted from scheduler, administrative assistant, accountant, and company owner to ARTIST ASSISTANT!!! hahaha Usually Aljay takes care of all the art stuff and the only "hands on" tasks I had was packing the art pieces for shipment lol ....but he really needed me for these past few projects and it's been really fun to actually work with him on the art stuff. *That reminds me, I need to update on this business partnership that we started with Dunked Cookies. 

    Picture on the left is the floor we made for Dunked Cookies second event. The pic on the right is the full set up that we built and painted in like 3 nights.

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...
