"I don't want to be your friend..."

Break through. Radiohead. Sunset Beach. He had right, I had left. Song after song. Album after album. With Tommy's help I have finally seen the light when it comes to Radiohead...it couldn't have come at a better time.

Nothing is better than my conversations with Tommy. I always wondered what married couples talked about, now I know. I don't have to have a filter or an agenda. He gets me. But he especially knows how to talk me down. I had a hard night tonight, but he was by my side.

My mom reminded me that I have an "old soul" tonight.

I cooked my first turkey this year. It was falling off the bone. From what I hear, that equals success. Our Thanksgiving this year definitely made it in the Top 10.

Tommy & I will be attending the Laie Temple on Thursday for the first time since the rededication. We can't wait.

My lovelies. I think one of my greatest callings I have on this earth is to be the BEST AUNT EVER! I love being an Auntie, probably because my job is just to have fun with my nieces and nephews. Very little responsibility. I have tended Jesse's girls for a week while Kori attended Women's Conference and just last year Tommy and I tended Sienna in Mexico. I was living in Provo while Jena was pregnant with Summer and I was there when she was born. I feel a special bond with her. Taylor was my very first niece so I was completely enamored with her and would jump at the first chance of babysitting her. I love spending quality time with each of my sibling's families. I love being with my family and I love watching our families grow.

I catch myself wondering what our kids will look like, what their names will be, how many we'll have and if they'll be funny like me! haha. I want one of those funny kids that make everyone laugh during the  primary program...

Hounded

Last Saturday I scored big by having a FULL day off...a Saturday at that! Luckily Tommy had the day off as well. Yes! So we parked it at Sunset Beach from 11 - 1 then drove up to Pipeline.While waiting to turn in we spotted a dog {not the one pictured} crossing the crosswalk all by his lonesome. We were amazed that the pooch knew where to cross...and he was safe and sound. Again, we were annoyed that we did not have our OWN camera! 

*President Monson will be visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center tomorrow at 3:45! All of Laie has been preparing day and night for his visit. He will be re-dedicating the Laie Temple this Sunday...

*Laie {Oahu} is under Flood Warning this weekend. Great timing! Tommy and I have no idea what to do or where to go, but it's raining as I type. Tommy said that Hau'ula flooded in 2008...so it really does happen on this side of the island. Yikes! 

*I slept in until 11:20 today! Tommy didn't have a class this morning so we had no alarm set and no reason to get out of bed. Finally we woke up and asked me if I had work today--I did. I walked into work and told my boss that I slept in. Luckily my boss just laughed it off...I can't believe that I am still able to sleep in that late. What a waste of the day?!

*I finally got a new phone. Blackberry. I had the EN-V since the summer of 2008. It was on its last leg and on my last nerve! I looked up Verizon phones on craigslist and landed on my Blackberry. It's definitely an adjustment but I am starting to really like it. I like that it doesn't flip or slide! I'm content.

*"...don't close your eyes because I'll miss them." I love Tommy and how he loves me.
