So Excited!!!

I couldn't wait to share the news with all of you because we are just so excited for what is to come in the near future.

I am PREGNANT!!!! YAY!!!!! It's been about 3 years since I was last pregnant and I totally forgot how it feels to have morning sickness again, or having to wake up and pee all night long practically because my bladder seems to be full all the time.. ( u know how that is for those of u who have been pregnant) LOL!

We've been trying to get pregnant for the last few months and I really didn't think it would come this fast, but I feel so blessed and look forward to having another yoshimura running around in the family.. lol! Everyone is definitely hoping this time around that it is a girl and I hope too, but even if it's another boy, I will be just as happy.

My goal is to stay on tip top shape and not eat so much junk food though.. (hhmm.. well see how long that goes..) no, but really it is important to stay healthy and eat nutritiously for me and the baby but i just love food. who doesn't?

I am about 6 weeks and 5 days into the pregnancy right now, and that is really early in the stage of pregnancy. I am going to take things slow, eat good, try not to stress a lot and be happy.

This is definitely the best birthday gift I could have since my birthday is just around the corner. We are so happy and excited as a familiy and I will keep you all posted on the progress.

BIG NEWS TO COME!!! :)

LOOONNNGGG TIME!!!

Wow! It has been a while since I last updated my blog.. sorry guys for those who follow. loL! Nothing much has been going on in our lives. Just you know the normal, work, school and family time.
My sister in law just recently gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy and he is just the cutest!! he's so adorable and I is like the spitting image of his older brother. I wanted to put together a collage of all the babies in the family and how blessed we are to have children in our lives and the unconditional love they have for you. Cherish every moment spent together because time will go by so fast before you know it.

OMG!!

It has been so stressful lately and its just getting to me. My thoughts are pulling me here and there and i just am sick and tired of this. I just wish people were a little kinder, nicer, and respectful. Sometimes i just don't get why u have to be so rude or comparing me to others. Everyone is different and great in there own ways and manage differently, but we all learn to adapt to different situations and we try our best. that is all i have to say. i feel like i am just so over this and i dont like feeling this way, but this is what it is now and this is all i have to say.

Josh's Birthday!

Since being josh's birthday, he decided he wanted to eat at the Thai Restaurant in kaneohe and of course the food was delicious as always.
Obviously, you know why jonah is smiling like that because his favorite dish of the night was daddy's cake. lol!
We had such a great time and were so happy that all the family could attend dinner to celebrate josh's birthday.

Out with the old, in with the new!

The time is nearing for a new home and a new adventure in life for our family. We look forward to what is to come. It wasn't an easy decision, but it has been fun here. We are so greatful for all of the friendships, laughters and smiles we have made here since being in TVA.
TVA was definetly the start of our goal to be able to be sealed in the temple as a family and we did that and what a blessing that is to have in our lives and to be able to experience. I know that wherever we decide to go and do in life, that we are headed in the right direction and we can only go forward from here.

Happy Birthday

whats new?

well, what's new?? nothing much, but just starting a new job now for 2 weeks and i love it! new to this but i am in it for the long haul and i want to be successful at what i do.
As we all probably know, it is almost time for graduation for those that will be graduating, time has gone by so fast.... it's bittersweet to meet people here and then they have to leave, but in that time, we were able to make great friendships that i hope will be for the rest of our lives and can keep in touch always. we wish everyone the best in their endeavors in whatever you may do and always come back to hawaii to visit!
What's next for us?? We will be here for awhile and until Joshua graduates and see how well my job is going will determine what we will do in our next adventure in life and i look forward to what's to come and many more great memories to cherish and build.

Celebrating our 3rd Year Anniversary!!!

HAPPY 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!!

Today we are celebrating our 3 year marriage of love and happiness and tons of fun. It has been such an amazing journey these past few years. So much has gone by and so much has changed for the better. It has been such a blessing to have Joshua in my life. We've known each other for 5 years now and been married for 3 today. I am just loving being married, being a mom, friend and loving the life that i live. Having Jonah our son who is 2 1/2 now has been a blessing to us both and having him as led us to be sealed as a family for all eternity in the temple this past November. That experience alone is dear to my heart, something i will never forget. We had such and amazing time and are so thankful for our blessings and each other. I always have the urge to want to go to the temple again and again. Can't wait for the Hawaii Temple to open.
Don't really have anything planned today, but I am totally looking forward to our anniversary cake i am having being made my Nichole Chism. She is an amazing talent with cakes and anything and everything you want with them. Check out her website: http://chismscustomcakes.weebly.com/ I'm so excited and it's a surprise so I hope Josh loves it. I know he is doing the dinner part of this celebration today so I have yet to find out what we will be eating as our main course, but i sure do know what's for dessert. :) lol!

Thank you so always being there for me and being patient and helpful. I love the fact that you are my handy man you you can do anything. Lol! Y0ur such a generous, helpful, caring, funny, loving husband and daddy. I look forward to many more years together for all eternity and I LOVE YOU!!
