...broken...

well friends, it seems as if i have yet to fix my laptop so there are no pictures and i'm really bummed about that because i want so badly to show y'all some great things!

deina ige entered the mtc this past wednesday. it's really weird to know that's she's there and getting ready to serve faithfully in japan. i'm really excited for her but of course the four of us (deina, ashley, nani-buns and i) are not the four of us without our deina. as always, we gathered the monday before she left and had FHE with the utah family. needless to say it was hilarious and very heartfelt. we split up into teams and made the "armor of god" for her. ollie and ikena were running around and "attacking" deina during the lesson--so, auntie lisa made little signs that said 'sin' and 'tempation' and put them on the two little boys. ha ha...it definitely fit into the lesson though, sin and temptation are always factors that are constantly in life and if we're not fully protected and have our guard up we can be hurt or fall for those things, hence why always having the armor of god on is so important, especially in a missionary's life.

this past weekend was just another weekend even though valentine's day did occur :) ha ha. on friday at work, my friend nikki and i decided that we wanted to have a blast from the past and bring in valentines and treats and make little mailboxes. the mailboxes did not occur but we did run to target real quick and purchased this heart-shape glitter bags (they were pretty ugly) but definitely fit the vibe. we exchanged valentines with our co-workers; others brought some in as well. there were bratz, scooby doo, hannah montana, mad libs, and i bought little hearts that had pixi stix arrows through them. ha ha it was so much fun! one even brought in a chocolate bar and caramel filled kisses with a pink tulip. it was sweet! we had a little shin-dig with treats and dip. a definite success :) that night i went to spark (this little place in provo that has non-alcholic specialty drinks) and played wingwoman and hungout with friends.

valentine's day i slept in and it was fabulous! that night i went and visited some friends who were watching the dunk contest and then went and watched "Taken" which is such a good movie. so intense! we were going to go and watch "he's just not that into you" but it was sold out and i'm so glad. it was definitely an enjoyable day! hope you all had a fabulouso valentine's day!!

p.s. i'm very distrought that there are no pictures...what's a blog without pictures??? i'll find a way...
