we have been in houston about a month now and it has been great, jordan is selling and hasnt melted yet... i am working in the office and am now resident swim teacher?? but one of our favourite things about texas is the mexican food, particularly the deliciousness from Chuy's. this was girls night last month...happy times. and perfect burritos.

so jord and i for the second time have had our stuff taken in houston...sad day. but fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me... this was awful timing and bad luck but still our silly fault. so in an effort to smile about it all and not dwell on the fact that we now have to replace phone, bag, cameras, and all the pretty necessities ... i found this and it makes me happy!

two years and four days....

this week has been crazy but i wanted to take a second and acknowledge the milestone jord and i hit this Monday. 2 full years of marriage, i know it may not seem like a lot to those who are hitting 1o or 11 but i have to say it feels like forever!!
i was looking through our photos from Monday to post something, but it was such a chill day and the photos were not that exciting, so i found this instead... this is the international sign for victory, and today and all week ive felt like screaming VICTORY!!! somehow just making it here, i feel like we have won. I know that life is a roller coaster and that just when things seem to be coming together they dont anymore, but right now im enjoying the view. bring on 3!

temple goal

we are still working on our 50 temples in 5 years goal... The Salt Lake City Temple comes in at number 7 and the Laie Hawaii at 8.



so we are at 8 for 2 years... just 42 to go! :)

Racking up our tourist points at the Polynesian culture Center, Dole Pineapple Farm, Matsumoto's Shaved Ice and Pearl Harbor.

one of my favourite things about moving around like jord and i do, is the people we get to meet along the way. this trip we got to see some of them.


Bro. Keola, who was in jordan's life when he was younger, and made sure i ate right while i was at BYUH.


The Wolfersburgers, are my sister-in-laws cousins, they adopted me while i was in Hawaii, i babysat them while she was having their 3rd. scary that hes now 3!!


the always beautiful and helpful Melissa, took us out line dancing with Carter! so much fun!! think i may have found my calling in life.

New Zealand culture + Michael Jackson = happiest clip ever
(from the movie "Boy" so wonderful)
