Prince!!

I missed a call from Aunty Goob when I was sleeping after I got home from work this morning/afternoon and she left me a voicemail about tonight's football game, Jordan Beetdiggers vs. Brighton Bengals. Not only was it LT, DT and Malu's senior night, but it was also their homecoming game. She wanted to let Joseph and I know so that we can go and show some support if we were available. Unfortunately, my Husband had to work late. Luckily Mom stopped at the house before going to the game, so I went and rode with her. I was so excited to go see the boys play. It's been so long since I've gone to a high school football game and I miss it so much.

Anywho, the boys did so well!! We were sitting with our long lost cousins, the Laulu's. We (meaning Aunty Goob, Mom & Irene) were cheering so loud. I tried to join in with them, but I could feel a headache coming on from me yelling...so I took a seat and sat there looking "pretty". Ha!

Too bad we missed the boys' senior night recognition, but we were able to catch everything else. One which was being able to see LT ride on the back of a sparkling red convertible to be announced as Jordan's 2010 Homecoming PRINCE!! It was amazing to see one of our boys as part of the homecoming royalty. My eyes were starting to tear up as he was going around the field and I look over at Mom to see her bawling her eyeballs out. Buncha crybabies I tell ya...we must get that from my Papa Gafa...LOL.

We're so proud of the boys. They did a great job and fought for the win. I hope we'll be able to watch my brothers play next year. I'm so thankful for my family...they make my life complete!!

Annoyance (is that a word?)

So I'm sitting here trying to re-do my blog design (it's 4am by the way); I'm going through some of the blogs that I follow and I run into a photographer named Kayleen T's blog. I start going through her recent work and RIGHT AWAY I get annoyed because there's this couple's wedding she photographed, that happened to get married in the same temple my Husband and I got married in. So I'm browsing and browsing...and browsing and the more I go on, I keep getting more and more upset because these pictures are SPECTACULAR!! The photos she got made me feel as though I was there at that wedding. I can feel the love and happiness of their special day by just looking at those photos. 

Well the reason why I'm so pissed/angry/upset/mad/hurt/betrayed/annoyed, etc is because the so-called photographer that we hired to photograph our wedding (which is what?? the most important day of people's lives) STILL to this day has NOT given us a single picture that she was supposed to have captured. Luckily for us, she had another photographer there to assist her. He was so kind enough to edit some of the photos he took of us at the temple and give it to us FREE of charge...and if it weren't for him (Alvin Ahquin-thank you so much), we wouldn't have a single photo of our special day. Unfortunately he wasn't able to make it to the reception, so we have absolutely nothing from it. Yeah I know some people are probably thinking, "but that's not the special part of a wedding. It's the vows and yadda yadda..." I know, I know...but it just irritates me to know that someone can be so heartless and take the money that was paid to them to do a job and they never complete it, yet still keep the money!! 

It's upsetting because that's a day that we can't relive, a day we can't go back on and moments that we won't be able to capture and show pictures to our kids or our grandkids about the day we became eternal companions. My Husband feels it best that we file a lawsuit against her, but being from the cultural background that I'm from, we're just not used to doing that to other people (especially from the same culture). Not only that, but she was actually referred to us by one of my family members; so that would be awkward in the future, right? Well I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. Until then, I've got to keep myself grounded and look at the positive side of things. My Husband and I are and will always be together forever and ever...with or without those photos!!

♥Loviez♥

An Amazing Milestone

So, yes I'm a little late on updating my blog for this special day (4 days late to be exact). But whatever...moving on. I can't believe that my Hubby and I have already reached our 1 year mark of being married!! It's been a lot of fun. We've learned a WHOLE lot about each other...likes AND dislikes. But as like any other marriage, you learn to live with it and accept them for the person they are. It's the little things that make you who YOU are and vice versa. If those little things change...then of course that person is changing (and sometimes it's NOT always for the good because that's the person you fell in love with from the get-go). So anyways, our anniversary is on September 12th and this year of course it landed on a Sunday. There wasn't much that we could do on the exact day because of work and church and family, etc. So I requested some vacation time off from work a long time ago and I decided to take advantage of it and spend every waking moment I could with my Husband. Since we have Mom and the kids staying with us, we couldn't walk around the house in our G's and serve each other breakfast in bed like we used to when we had the house to ourselves (LOL). That's fine...all's good!! We enjoyed each other's company, laughed (a lot), reminisced (when/how we met, our first date & the many others that followed, our engagement, our wedding, etc), cried (I did at least cuz I'm a crybaby like that & I don't care), watched some tv/movies together and what not. I think those are thee BESTest times that two people can have together and I enjoyed EVERY SINGLE MINUTE!! I love my Husband so much and I am SO grateful for him and ALL he does; because of him we have a roof over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, shoes on our feet, the priesthood in our home, each other to hold at night and EVERYTHING else in between. It's definitely been an awesome year of learning and loving...but most of all I can't wait for the many many more years that we have to share together for now and all ETERNITY!! ♥ I love you Babe...♥

(singing) ♫ You will always be...my ENDLESS LOVE ♫

Where does time go??

Okay so it seems to me that I only post ONE blog a month. What the...?? I don't even know. But since August is practically dang near over with, I might as well give an update. Can you believe that?? It's almost September!! 

Well July was a great month. I took two trips to California during that time!! Yes two. It was hectic and a burden on my Hubby's wallet, but we still managed to get through (thanks to our Father in Heaven for his help and guidance as well as to my loving Husband who put up with it, let alone me). Our 70th Fuimaono Family Reunion was a HIT!! I loved every minute I shared with family from near and far. I also got to spend some time with my Sissy before she went to New Zealand for 3 MONTHS!! All in all, we made it there and back (both times) safe and sound, and let me remind you that there's NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!

Of course when it was time to go back to work, I about DIED!! Haha. But we've all gotta do what we gotta do and jump back into reality (working that is) whether we like it or not. Thankfully, I LOVE my job!!

Hmmm what else has happened?? Oh!! Mom and the kids moved in with Joseph and I. Yeah I know, our house is really, really crowded right now, but I wouldn't have my Mom and siblings anywhere else. Of course I do miss me and my husband's time alone and our house being so quiet, but what can we do. Luckily, we're looking to move into a bigger place once our lease is up. That's the least we (ME especially) can do for ALL the years that Momma has taken care of us as a single parent. I love her so much and I'm grateful to have her be a part of our household.

My husband is TRULY a blessing to me. He has accepted me, my family, our culture and everything else in between with open arms from the day I met him and continues to do so NOW!! I couldn't ask for a husband more loving and giving than him and him alone. He busts his butt to go to work to support not only me, but now my mother and siblings. I know that I can be a BIG pain in his behind about things that shouldn't even matter and we don't really see things "eye-to-eye", but he continues to love me unconditionally. Therefore, I'm so LUCKY to have him as my ETERNAL companion. I love him with all that I have in me and some!! I can't say it enough...Dang, I'm one LUCKY WOMAN!!

Update-age!!

Tomorrow, July 28th, my sister Nae, my nieces Delynna and Marli & my nephew Marvin are gonna be hitting the road. Before I go on, I want to thank my brothers Chase & Myles along with their wives Davynna & Keilah for allowing us to take their children to give them the chance to experience a reunion...so...THANKS guys!! Hahaha but moving on, we will be Cali bound for our 70th annual Fuimaono Family Reunion. Gosh...can you believe that?? What an accomplishment!! What other family can say that they have had an annual reunion for 70 years straight?? I am so grateful for my great great grandparents for accepting the gospel into their lives, for without that alone, I don't know what or who I would be. We'll be missing a couple of days of the reunion, but it's better to be late than never there at all, right? RIGHT!! =) I can't wait to see all my old family and to meet new ones. I know we're gonna have a GREAT time.

My sissy, Kelcey (aka Boo-Boo or Boo-Luv) has been in California since the beginning of this month, staying with Uncle Evans, Aunty Vera & their wonderful family. The house is not the same without her. Just to hear her loud laugh will make any of our days. After reunion, she's gonna be going to New Zealand to spend some time with Daddy. She'll be gone for 3 months. Holy cow!! That's forever huh?? I'm glad that she gets to have that experience. I wish we could all go, but the air fares to NZ are too dang expensive. They're usually about $1300, but Mom & I were able to find a deal on one for $961. It's still a lot of mula, but whatevz!! Thanks Daddy for helping out. She's a lucky cow!! Hahaha jk.

Summer has been killing us like no other (well me at least). I'm sure every other summer it's the same thing, but I just can't remember being so miserable during them like I am this year. Anyhow, thank goodness for central AC, or else I would've probably already killed myself (jk). My husband has been such a good sport about EVERYTHING, from all my trips to California and what not...to me going crazy over the heat, or just being grumpy because I'm hungry, etc. Whatever it may be, he always has a humble heart and he knows how to calm me down and make me happy again. He is my lifesaver and I don't know what I'd do without him. I'm not lying when I say he was truly made just for me!! He will go to the furthest distance just to make me happy. I love him with all that I have in me and more!! I'm so grateful that he provides for us, working countless hours, then coming home to have to deal with me. My poor Lovey!! I have me a GOOD MAN!!

All in all...I love my life & WHOLE family!! God is great always!!

..::Weather Report, GDO, Graduations, Music, Baby Shower::..

I don't understand this Utah weather & frankly, I don't think anyone does. It was snowing in the middle of May and all of a sudden its the beginning of June & it's hot as Hades here!! BUT...yes there's a but, I'm at work & I just printed the weather, it's supposed to be thunderstorming this weekend!!


Oh GREAT!! Just when I thought we were in the clear for nice weather, I planned to have a BBQ for my brother-in-law, Jon because he's moving to Hawaii (I know right?? I'm very J!!). Soooo now I have to call everyone up and cancel our plans due to the weather. PLUS we were planning on having it at Murray Park, but due to the thunderstorm we had just a couple of days ago...IT'S FLOODED!! I guess it just wasn't meant to be. I don't think the signs could be any clearer. Joseph & I are planning to take him to a nice dinner or something instead.


Moving on...My sister, Kelcey Ricci Muasau, just graduated from John Locke Academy on Friday (her *posting later*, then went and hung out at Aunty Lila's house with Lae & her fam as well as Aunty Blue who's visiting from Cali. Mom, Boo, Delynna & River ended up spending the night at my house while my husband was busting his butt for me on a 17 HOUR SHIFT (i love you babe). The next day, we took the girls swimming, picked up Marli & went on a date to Leatherby's to show the girls that there ARE huge sundae ice creams like on tv, and then went back to my house to go swimming for the second time =) *my nieces are some waterbugs, i tell ya* The rest of the day I spent resting for work that night.


Last night was my nephew (son of brother Myles & his wife Keilah) Mahonri's baby shower. Unfortunately, due to last minute changes and conflicts of dates, I wasn't able to attend because I had to rest for work...again!! I did manage to buy the cake for the shower, which come to think of, noone called me to tell me how it was...oh well. But I really do wish that I could've gone. Aunty Uini (aka Aunty Blue) flew up from SoCal just to be here for it. I didn't really get to spend any time with her and she leaves today =( I just hope that my cute lil nephew knows that I LOVE him so dearly!! He's such a handsome lil booger.


See this is the reason why I NEED to blog everytime I have something to blog about, so that I'm not writing a HUGE novel when I do get around to it. Sorry bout it!! Lol. I'm gonna leave on a note to tell you guys that if you have not yet heard or checked out the song *Poker Face* from Glee's "Theatricality" episode, you definately NEED to. As you already know, that song was made famous by Lady GaGa. But the version that they sing is so much better (just my opinion). You can actually hear the lyrics. It's an awesome song; they do a great job on it & it's VERY catchy, so don't say I didn't warn you. Dance to it, sing along with it, rock to it...whatever you do...just ENJOY it!!


Until next time...ToOdLeS & *Be Happy*!!

New Addictions

Okay so since we've moved out into our own place, I've been sitting at home, most of the time by myself because Joseph & I work opposite schedules. So what I would do is camp on YouTube and watch different videos and stuff. I came across some "beauty gurus" that have beauty channels and what they do is teach you how to apply/use makeup. They post tutorials that on how to do certain hairstyles, achieve different celebrity inspired makeup looks, etc. So one of my new favorite addictions is MAC Cosmetics!!

I love love love their stuff. It's a lot pricier than what I used to spend on regular drug store products, but the quality is so worth it!! I can't get enough of it. My poor husband spoils me and of course doesn't mind me buying whatever I would like. He just hates to go with me to the MAC counter because I can literally spend hours there. Lol.

But moving on...another thing that I have been so hooked on is a tv show. And I know a lot of you are going to judge me for even watching these kind of shows, but honestly, if you can come and hang out with me during the day to keep me from watching it, then please feel free =). It's "The Real Housewives Of New Jersey". Ohmygosh...I watched one episode and it was so drama filled, that I had to watch more!! Lol

Well that's the story of my life right now. Just kidding, just what I'm into these days. You should check em out!!

Slacking + Excuses = Me (lately)

Gosh, I've been wanting to blog for a while now, but I've just been too busy with work, home, seminary graduations, missionary farewells, high school graduations, birthdays, holidays (mother's day, memorial day), etc. After reading Aunty Goob's blog and my friend Aubrey's blog, I think that if they can do with 9 & 3 kids, I can do it too. So here's just a little note to let you know that...I'M BACK (again)!! Lol I've got to charge my camera so that I can post pics along with what's been going on. So I guess I'll just leave you with that til next time. =) *Be Happy*

Priceless Quality Time!!

Today...well actually, yesterday (Saturday, May 1st) was nice. The weather wasn't really all that, freezing in fact, but it was a good day for me because my husband and I got to spend the whole day together. Even though we just lounged in our home, the time spent laughing and talking together was priceless. We slept in, watched baseball bloopers that were hilarious, took a nap, ate all our lives, watched the cops bang on our neighbors door through our peep hole for what seemed like forever (LOL), etc. I really enjoy my husband's company. He makes me feel safe and complete. I can't wait until we start having children so we can have more of US running around.


I get off of work at 7am. By the way, I hate not being able to spend the night with Joseph a couple of nights out of the week, but we've gotta do what we gotta do, right?!? Hopefully, we'll be able to have breakfast together before I K.O. We haven't been to church in a while, so we plan on FINALLY attending our ward since we've moved...Long story!! Later on, I hope to succeed in convincing my husband to go to our Fuimaono Family Home Evening (it's been a while since we've been to one of those as well...ugh!!), then head back home to sleep for work again at 11pm. Maybe Joseph and I can continue to have more of those kind of days, because we can sure use them!!

I have really been blessed with thee most AMAZING husband who loves me for who I am and supports me in ALL that I do!! Despite him being a triplet, there is NO DOUBT another man like him (*with all the works...wink wink*)!! I love you Joseph Christopher Bleyl!!

I'm Back!!

Okay...so it's been since the month before I got married that I blogged last. I know I know, so long!! Well as you know, you get caught up in life & everyday things, that you just lose track of time. But the good part is that I'm back and hopefully I'll be able to keep up with it from now on.


What's happened since then?? Of course, Joseph & I got married on September 12th 2009. It was an amazing day!! We are still in the process of getting our photos (Ugh!! Don't even get me started on that!!) from our so-called "photographer"...who Joseph really wants to take to court!! Eek...long story. So yeah, no official photos from our wedding, which is really a bummer, but we have some from other people. Life goes on & you learn to just cherish what you have. So that's what we are doing!! =)


We lived with my family for about 5 months, which really wasn't bad at all (to me at least). I guess the worst part was having 16 people under one roof with only ONE restroom. Lol. Life was good then, but now life is even better now. We live in Midvale and Joseph loves being on our own. Even though he has 9 other brothers & sisters, he's still not used to being around so many people with so much noise. I love him nonetheless!!


Shortly after our wedding (14 days to be exact), I got a job working at the Residence Inn Marriott in Cottonwood Heights. It's been a great help for us when we've traveled or taken vacations as well as a big help to all of our family members when they've traveled. I'm blessed to have such a good job with excellent benefits & perks (the economy is NO joke)!! The week after I got hired, Joseph received a new job working for Goldman Sachs Financial, which he really likes as well. We are very grateful for all that we have been and continue to be blessed with.


So that's us for now...and if you're wondering...NOPE!! No babies on the way yet. We're just enjoying our time that we have together. =)

*LML* (Love My Life)
