I'm sick & tired of being SICK and TIRED!

Being sick WITH allergies SUCKS! :(

If I was brave enough to take a picture I would - But I'll keep things cute with a cartoon instead! This pictures tells it all!

A couple years ago, Allergies became apart of my life. Not sure what started it or what was causing me to constantly sniff, cough, scratch or rub my eyes but it was miserable!

For whatever reason last spring/summer I was fortunate enough to not go through that again...But its back this year and as much as I love Summer, I want the Fall to come quick! 

Yesterday is when I started getting that itchy feeling in the back of my throat....I wanted to rip my eyeballs out....and I couldn't stop sniffling for the life of me. So as my allergies started to take over....I started to feel like I was getting strep or a cold. I tried to drink a Jamba or shake to keep my throat wet but that did not do much to help.

I went to bed last night stuffy, coughing and with a runny nose. As you can imagine I did not get much sleep and was constantly blowing my nose and trying to unplug my ears from all the pressure of blowing my nose. Not sure what time it was, but I finally knocked out for the night. I woke up to my alarm (which seemed louder than normal) at 7am and I kid you not, I felt like I was hit by a car or something. My head felt huge and heavy...I had the biggest headache of my life...My throat was swollen, I could hardly talk...My ears were plugged, and to top it all off.....My nose was burning from all the rubbing I did!

Needless to say...it was NOT a fun night.

I'm hoping things get better soon! Ron is a BIG help and always takes good care of me...So I'll take a Venti caramel frap babe, ya know...to help my throat!? :)

You Are Cordially Invited To:

Who - Lula Sonny Moa Tuinei

What - Graduation

Where - Capitol Theatre

When - Friday, June 10, 2011

Sooo proud of my Mom! She graduated with honors and received her Associates Degree from Steven's Henager College! What an accomplishment! :) Goes to show that anything is possible with hard work, dedication, making sacrifices and having a positive attitude!

So after I got off of work, I went straight to my Mom's house to meet my sisters, cousin and Aunt. We rushed around to a few stores to do some last minute shopping....and after my daily dose of caramel frappuccino, it was time to head home to get ready. Playing dress-up with my Mom is a rare occasion so I took full advantage of this moment to really doll her up! :) Not that this woman needs any of it - but after a little bit of make-up, hairspray to hold the curls and garb fit for a graduate.....VOILA!

We headed over to Capitol Theatre and can I just say...standing in that line, in a small lobby with no air-conditioner, with tons of people breathing heavily was sooo not the business! Lol! After the longest 30 minutes of my life, we were finally allowed to head in and find our seats. I found that playing the game "Where's Waldo" can be tough at a graduation ceremony given that everybody is dressed the same, but in my Mom's case, it was easy to find the 6' ft Samoan Beauty! :) My cousin Chris and I ran over to take a quick pic and thankgoodness mines turned out better than his...Lol! I got a pic of both my Mom and Step-dad...these 2 look so happy! :) The only thing I hate about graduations is how long they are...this graduation was no different! Sitting through the typical commencements speeches and musical numbers was all worth it though! After the paparazzi finished up the night with family pictures, it was off to dinner we went! My Mom is a BIG seafood lover, so what better way to end her special day with a bucket of the best from Joe's Crab Shack! Yum! :)

I want to take this time to tell my Mom how much I love her! She is one of my best friends and I can go to her for anything! She has a big heart and is always willing to go the extra mile! She is a beautiful woman with an awesome personality! Her example has taught me that no matter what or how long it takes....you CAN do it! I am so proud of you Mom! You are the BEST! 

Love Always....

My Funny Bone =D

I know he will kill me for posting this but I really felt the need to express my love for the MAN that still gives me butterflies every time I see him, makes me laugh so hard it hurts and is consistently there for me through thick and thin....my Husband! He is my best friend, the man of my dreams and I am so thankful to have him as my eternal companion!

I truly believe first impressions are very important and about 9 years ago, I met Ron at Hunter High. You could say Ron was a popular guy and having said that, his "cool guy" attitude was NOT so popular! Lol! It took some time, but his smooth talk finally found its way to my heart our Junior year and we've been inseparable ever since! :) We've had our rocky moments but who doesn't? It's been a long road for the both of us but it's made us stronger and happier!
Ron and I decided to tie the knot on July 31, 2010 in the Salt Lake City Temple! We had a beautiful wedding reception at The U of U Ballroom and had so many family and friends there to share our special day with. The food was delicious and the entertainment was off the hook! It's funny when you look back at the planning preparations - you stress so much for just a few hours! :) It's all worth it in the end though.
If anyone can turn your frown upside down...its definitely Ron! :) When I meet people who know Ron, the first thing out of their mouth is, "He is soooo funny!" Ron's sense of humor makes him the life of the party! He is a kid at heart and has a way of making you laugh at the silliest things! Probably one of the main reasons why I fell so head over heels for him! :) Having a sense of humor is definitely a MUST!
I admire Ron for so many reasons! He is a concoction of hard-working, dedication, intelligence, discipline and courage! He's never afraid to go after his dreams and takes full advantage of everything that life has to offer! All of his hard work paid off in the fall of 2009. He became a Ute and currently plays football for The University of Utah! Another goal to check off the list! His example has and will always be embedded in my heart! I hope when that day comes, our children will follow in their father's footsteps of pursing their dreams! :)
I had the intentions to try and keep it brief but once you get me talking about my husband, I can go on and on and on! Lol! :) I just want to thank him for all that he has done to make me the happiest woman ever! He truly is the perfect recipe for the greatest man/husband! Our journey has brought so much joy in my life and the road to true bliss seems never-ending! I love you Ron Folaumoetao Tongaonevai Jr.! XoXo

"Introduce yourself...OKAY!" :)

Being that I have some time today....I thought I would start "blogging" away! :)

Let me start off by telling you a little more about ME! :) I am 25 years old and the oldest of 13 (5 biological siblings and 8 step-siblings)! I have 3 beautiful nieces and 2 crazy little nephews! I love getting together for family fun and spending time with all my nieces and nephews! You could say I'm the favorite Aunty! Lol! Having a big family definitely has its ups and downs but I wouldn't trade any of it for the world!

I am married to thee hottest/funniest/buffest guy ever.....Ron Folaumoetao Tongaonevai Jr.! We have been together since 2002 and I married my HighSchool Sweet-heart on July 31, 2010! :) Wow! Almost at our 1 year mark....Yay!

Volleyball is definitely the sport I love! I don't play as much as I would like to or should...but when I do find the time to go out and play...I KICK BUTT!! Lol! Jk

Football has found a special place in my heart, mostly because my husband eats, sleeps and breathes Football! :) He loves what he does and is pretty darn good if I must say! Guess you gotta be if you're the "Pancake Master"! Not sure if that name was given to him because of football or a contest he won at IHop! Hahahaha! Jk, I Luv U Babe!

I'm going on 4 years now with Intermountain HealthCare and I love love LOVE my job! I couldn't ask for anything better! I have to say that I have thee coolest/best boss ever!

If there is anything that will bring a smile to my face or brighten up my day, it's definitely Junk Food! I, know, I know, How fat?!? Lol! I for sure have a "sweet tooth" and you're more than likely to always find some kind of candy in my purse! Maybe THAT's why I'm the favorite Aunt...??? Nah! They love me cuz I'm just that awesome! :)

I love to shop! As for clothes - anything cute! But if I could wear jeans and a sweatshirt everyday, I totally would! Shoes - my taste changes all the time, Ron says I go through phases! After I'm done with a certain style, my sister Jazmyn is right there to make use of them! Right now though, I just cannot get enough of TOMs! I love the look and love how comfortable they are! And as a bonus, every pair you buy they donate a pair to a child in a third world country! I fully support those types of causes!

Well, I really can't think of anything more to share about myself, but if you want to know more, just ask! :) Until next time.....

Toodles!
