It's definitely been a while since my last post on here.. Not that many people read mine or anything hahah but if you're reading this - you'll be caught up with some info ;)
I started University at QUT in Brisbane - Fulltime Nursing student!! Crazy stuff.. But so far so good. It's the only reason why I left Hawaii and it's a big sacrifice that my Husband and I have made. We MISS Hawaiinei sooooooo much! But, BYU did not offer Nursing so once I get my degree, back we go :)
My Husband has been working his buttox off like crazy! He works at Exponet and it requires him to work extremely long hours and unusual ones too but it's good money for us. We've recently paid his $3,000 Permanent Residency Visa!!! SO EXPENSIVE!!!! But we will be here for a while so it's worth it.
So we are both busy busy bee's and working hard to get to where we want to be... Back in Hawaii! Lol
PAY YOUR TITHING! It's definitely strengthening mine & my husbands testimonies. So many opportunities have come our way to help people out with the benefit of being rewarded financially. I've been asked to do Formal Hair & Makeup for 3 girls! People are interested in my Photography AND I now teach Piano lessons...... So it really is a blessing!
We've had a pretty busy and interesting year thus far but things are really going well and moving forward greatly. We are aiming to be SEALED FOR TIME AND ALL ETERNITY this December! I want to get sealed in the Hawaii Temple BUUUUUT we're afraid we cannot afford it so Brisbane Australia will just have to do lol. Our church callings are keeping us busy and are also strengthening us. We love it! We are so happy and so excited and grateful to be where we are in life. We are also grateful for both of our families and for the endless support that we are given. We are so grateful for eachother too, and we cannot wait to start our own family. We are grateful to be blessed with a beautiful blessing that will arrive on
March 31st, 2013!
It's pretty funny because I couldn't wait to experience pregnancy and ever since I became pregnant I just wish I didn't feel so yucky and crappy all the time! It's ridiculous how moody I get! (Poor Hubby!) Lol.. I usually feel queesy and nauseated without vomitting but for the first time the other night I ate a banana and threw up! I'm assuming our little Samoan, Hawaiian, Cook Island, Australian baby doesn't like Banana's lol or so I like to think... So I'm definitely staying away from those bad boys! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EAT!?!?!? Without feeling sick that is. I'm constantly drinking but I feel too sick to eat. Any suggestions?
We are looking forward to see what we're having. Mum said to keep it a surprise but since it's our first, we want to find out! A perfectly healthy baby will be just fine for us! I just know it's going to be the death of me! (Giving birth that is...) But hey, I want a lot! Sooooooo.. I guess I gotta get used to it lol. I'm hoping twins... Lol but one will be fine.
Til next time..
Love, the Afalava's :)
