Polynesian Cultural Center

We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center at night. We rode the canoes, went to the luau, and then we watched the amazing show of all of there different cultures. The price of gas was $4.25 a gallon. We also ran into Matt Miller a good friend of Cal's.

Hawaii Cruise Feb. 9-16, 2013

Cal and I went on a cruise with Dave, Vicki, Chad Davis and Emily's family. We had a lot of fun and seen some amazing sights. We went to Honolulu, Ohahu. We went to pearl Harbor in the morning. We visited the USS Arizona Memorial Pearl Harbor Hawaii. While we were there the oil from the ship was still slowly leaking out. It was quite a sight to see what the people sacrificed for us. It makes me appreciate things a lot more when I am there to visually see them and to feel of there spirit. On Sunday we walked to church. We were able to watch a baptism that is held in the middle of the church. The roof is all exposed and windows all around the font. The people here are very warm and friendly. We had a great experience.

No More Preschool

My health has not been very good for a while. I have been having a lot of problems with my colitis. One of the ways to make it better is to get rid of some stress. It was a hard decision after teaching preschool for 14 years to quit. I thought that this was probably the biggest stress in my life right now. I am going to renew my license for next year and keep my options open. My class was full and I had to send home letters and registration fees back to the parents. The hardest thing was I felt like I was letting them down, because now they have to find another preschool. They have been very understanding and kind. I will truly miss it because I love the children so much, but hopefully I can get better.

Devin's Graduation

Devin graduated from Itineris Early College High School On Friday May 31, 2013. It was held at Thanksgiving Pointe at The Barn. Devin graduated with his associates degree and he was on the Presidential list for his good grades. I am so proud of him. He worked so hard every night. He stayed up late studying, working on projects, and doing homework. What a great accomplishment!!! Devin graduated with 63 college credits and his GPA was 3.9

When we got home one night we found this big couch on our front porch. We wasn't sure why it was there until we talked to Devin.

Devin's Mission Call

Devin got his mission call on April 9,2013. We invited all of the family over and grandmas and grandpas, so they could watch Devin open his call. He was real excited when he opened it. As he was reading it, he read where he was going before he told us. lol He is going to the Philippines Legaspi Mission. He will speak the Tagalog language. He will go to the MTC on August 28, 2013. Since his call he has had a lot of people tell him all kind of stories like, he will have huge spiders and scorpions in the shower with him. Also they feed their dogs a lot of rice. This way when they cook the dog they can use the intestine and it is already stuffed with rice and ready to eat. I am excited to hear of all of his adventures that he will have. I am so proud of him for choosing to serve a mission, he is so ready, and he has such a strong testimony.
