The beginning...

I feel like there is SO much to blog about that I haven't been blogging about at all! So now I'm just going to play catch up with everything. First I'll start with Josh and I. How in the world does a health enthusiastic Latino from Utah end up with a fat eat errefang Tongan from Hawaii?? There is NO way that God didn't have a hand in our meeting. Ya Utah is pretty small world but I did not EVER mix with any type of "miko" like at all. It all started in 2008. I was new at UVU and he worked at the Multicultural Center, the MC. I couldn't help but notice that this miko was hanging out with the poly's. WTF? Not normal. (To me at least). So I decided to talk to him. I asked him for his name the next day, and as soon as he said it I forgot. Our conversation went something like this:

Me: Oh hi, um.. what's your name?
Him: Josh
Me: I'm Lala, nice to meet you.
Him: Hi Lala.
Me: Oh sorry but I'm not good with names so sorry if I forget yours.
Him: If you do, I'll never talk to you again.
Me:(WTF???? jklfsoinkclhjwoijklhejiyhsoidhjfklankj??!!!)

And that's when I decided I didn't like him. At all. But as the story goes, I saw him again later that day, we exchanged numbers and the rest is history. We got married, have 3 kids and now we're in Hawaii. How things like that happen? Only God knows. I am grateful though, and I do love Josh. He is the most annoying person in the world! But that's only because I just don't want him or the rest of the world to know how crazy I am about him :) 

We were married on June 28, 2008. We went to Grand America for our "honeymoon" and a week later went to NYC, New York for a week. December 2, 2008 we were blessed with our first baby. 16 months later Gissela followed and by June 2011 we had our third child, Melena'a. We've had LOTS of trials and we've almost been divorced. (I think every couple goes through something similar. Especially nowadays.) We will be getting sealed next week in Utah and as hard as our journey has been, it has been worth it. Josh is an amazing man. I could go on and on about how wonderful he is. Even if he is my biggest pet peeve. I am lucky to be married to him and I wouldn't have it any other way. Don't get me wrong, we fight A LOT. We disagree A LOT. (He's freakin vegan raw and I'm like eat erefang.) But we work together and keep our love alive and our family going. "With God, nothing is impossible. But you, must learn to take His hand... Those who have ears to hear, will understand." I forgot the name of the song but if WE can do it, anyone can. No joke. But that's how we met and that was the beginning of our beginning.
