JUST TO LET YOU KNOW...THIS SHOULD BE DATED FOR APRIL 2008
So, it's my last day here in Utah before I fly back to the City of Sin. LoL!! This trip has been a fun and enjoyable one (even though I didn't have my car to travel around in) due to the fact of having the pleasure of spending time with my family. Four of my five siblings live in Utah (because they are attending BYU Provo) and my mom and dad decided to fly up to Utah to spend time with them for about a month.

It's been great spending time with my oldest brother, George, his wife, Jenny, and my adorable nephew, Carlitos. I have spent my days and nights here at their apartment and it's been nice to just chat and catch up when they're not running all over the place or working. My nephew is just a bundle of joy and I loved spending time with him. He's growing up so fast and it's great to see how much he has grown. He can understand and speak both Spanish and English and it amazes me how smart he is. He loves to dance and go crazy when he hears "Cyclone" or "Kiss, Kiss". The things I will miss when I return back to Vegas.

It's been forever since I've seen my younger brother, Tana. I believe it's almost been two years so it's been great to see him (even though I barely did up here). I just found out that he got onto the BYU football team, so I'm proud of him and eager to at least go to one of his football games.

My two younger sisters, Sia and Ame have been a pleasure to hang out with. How the years have passed and my two little sisters have grown up to be two beautiful women. It was great to be able to see both of them perform in the BYU Luau and perform different Polynesian dances (how it brought back memories of May Day back in Hawaii). Sia had her last pulic performance that I would be able to see. I can't believe how great of a dancer she has turned out to be (don't get me wrong....she was always good, but she's just incredible now). I love watching her Living Legends performance and it was exciting to see that she had the leading female role in the Fijian section of the show.

It was great to see my mom and dad. Even though they're on vacation it seems like they're constantly working or keeping themselves busy from fixing up the apartment that they bought for the kids going to college, to babysitting Carlitos, to running errands or cooking for get togethers. Such amazing parents I got and how blessed I am to have them. This trip has been full of great memories even though it lasted 5 short days, but it will forever be remembered in my thoughts and my heart. Growing up, I wanted to get away from my family as soon as I could. However, now I know the importance of family and how much they mean to me. I can't wait to see them again and hope it'll be sometime soon.
