What in the WORLD?!?!?!

This is what I came home from work to... Saia and Alofa TEARING up our front yard. Alofa and I had talked about tearing out the old drive way that was in our front yard but I had no idea Alofa would take action so quick. I should have known. When he puts his mind to something, he gets it done. As you can tell, that part of our yard and lawn has struggled a little. I have tried to take care of it and get it to look good before I got married, but as a single female in grad school, it just wasn't gonna happen. Thank heavens for sweet a husband with determination and motivation as well as GREAT friends like Saia who stick around to help and get things done. Thank you Saia and Alofa! By the end of this summer, I have NO doubt, our yard will be BEAUTIFUL!! Bless Alofa's heart! I love him!

Nice, Relaxing Sunday BBQ




Our friends from the Ward, Meghan and Saia, came over Sunday afternoon and we had a nice, relaxing Sunday BBQ where the guys did all the work and Meghan and I just sat back and watched. We had steak, rice and fish. Meghan and I didn't eat any of the fish, Alofa and Saia LOVED it!!

Alofa's New BBQ grill

Alofa got a new grill just recently to prepare for this summer and the MANY BBQs we plan on having with all of our free time as I will be DONE FOREVER with school in exactly 3 WEEKS!!! I almost can't believe it and I am so excited! Ok, enough about me and back to Alofa and his grill :) He has the first opportunity to use it this past Sunday as we had my sweet nephew, Cam's birthday party at our house. I had NO IDEA how good my husband was at BBQing chicken till that day!! It was AMAZING!!! Everyone LOVED the chicken!! I laughed pretty hard though because my husband had no idea how to BBQ hamburgers or hot dogs... He learned quick with the help of my brother, thanks Ry! I am feeling more and more GRATEFUL everyday for the BBQ grill because now my husband cooks his lamb outside on the BBQ and I don't have to smell it. Good thing because I don't particularly enjoy the smell of cooking lamb, in fact it kind of makes me sick at this point.
Our dinner tonight!!! DELISH steak!! I have been craving meat like CRAZY lately!! My husband is happy to fulfil that request for me as he LOVES meat too!


At the end of March we went down to SLC to a BBQ with some of Alofa's friends and family. They had a roasted pig there... I couldn't even touch it, let alone look at it but Alofa was in HEAVEN as he ate it! Bless his heart!

This is a picture of some of Alofa's nieces and nephews. Too cute!!
Alofa and his niece are the BEST of friends!! She LOVES him and he LOVES her! Here are some super cute pictures of Alofa with his niece! He is going to be such a GREAT daddy!!
