Giving time... Habitat for Humanity :)

So I decided to volunteer for Habitat for Humanity. I have always heard about them, but didnt really know much, So our work does some of the volunteering for them and i got a email about it and decided it would be an awesome experience to help out. :)

Here is a little info about what they do:

Habitat for Humanity International is founded on the conviction that every man, woman and child should have a decent, safe and affordable place to live. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat and its homeowner families have built or rehabilitated more than 400,000 houses. A nonprofit, nondenominational Christian housing ministry, Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build together in partnership.

So i turn in all my paper work for it, and i am so excited to be able to do this! Our shift was 9am - 3pm, I was wondering what they will have there for us to do, and hoping that i would have the opportunity to learn something new, So there were 5 of us today and we got to do siding for the house. When he told us... i was clueless... ha ha... what is siding?? ha ha... as you can see i don't know very much about building houses... ha ha... but heck ya! something I've never done before, i was excited...

So siding was kinda tough... lol... I never knew how much work it would be... but it was quite a bit! lol So the job i got to do was cutting the siding material... at first i was so confused at was the guy was trying to tell us to do... (construction lingo... flew right over my head) lol... but we caught on and did a pretty good job! :) I enjoyed giving my time and glad to be there helping then at work at my desk! ha ha...

Took a few pics while we were there ( didn't take very many because i wasn't sure if i was gonna get in trouble) ha ha...

Yup, a little battle scar... haha... siding is pretty sharp after cutting it! haha...

Exciting News...

So Will gets a phone call and its his boss... all i can hear is Will saying " Are you serious?? Dont lie... are you for real?? " And then he walks outside... and me being so nosey... I am anxious to see what the news was... He comes back inside and says, I got the job at the Murray store as a manager!! I could just tell in his eyes and in his tone of voice that he was so happy!! :) Yay, i am so happy for my husband and his hard work that he does to support his family, he has definately deserved it! I am so proud of him! He is the youngest and the first Polynesian as a manager. Welcome to a new ERA! lol... All i can say is that we are so blessed, and to thank the man above! <3

Common Kings Concert

So last minute i decided that I was going to go to the concert, although i was totally dreading it because of the drive, Provo really?? lol, but Common Kings was definately worth the drive!! I'm so glad that i made it! I ended up going down with Lieta, Vee, Val and Donovan and we met the rest of their family down there too, and it was a blast!! I had so much fun and it was a sober night!! haha... Even if we were totally the BIGGEST Common Kings GROUPIES that whole night!! hahaha... too funny!!

Its funny cause the only time i've been down there is only to the schools and back, but going thru their cities, i felt like i was out of state! haha... But all the artists that performed that night were on point!! Tati is such a beautiful girl and she is going to be even more amazing in the years to come!! Her voice is awesome!! :) and Si'i Vakalahi, wow... love his voice!! :)

Well here a few pics i got from the concert!! definately wish i would have gotten more!!
