Our First Wonderful Month!

Well, today was our one month anniversary and we couldn't be happier! It has been a wonderful month. And a fast one! So far, we have moved back to Hawaii into our itsy bitsy studio, started up our full schedules for school, and both have been working back at the PCC. Things have been going so well. We have been so incredibly blessed. We have already experienced so many miracles in our newly wed life.
School is going well for us both. It is so nice because we almost have all the same classes which gives us more time to spend together and we can help each other with homework! It is so nice to have the same major!
We were both able to start up work the week after we got back on the rock at the PCC. We have been working at the same place for the past few years now. It was very nice to be able come back so easily. Recently though, J and I have been looking for better jobs, because the wages aren't quite high enough to make it in HAWAII! We have been so blessed and have both found new jobs! J will be an IDD (Instructional Design & Development) Tutor on campus when he isn't in class. So he will just be helping people in our classes pretty much! J is very smart, and the professors love him and are very excited to have him as a tutor. FYI: Tutor jobs are SUPER easy. You get paid to sit in a room full of brand new Macs and help kids that come in to ask you, but if they don't come, you still get paid! And you can just work on homework and surf the net! We are super stoked that he got the job. He is starting out at a better wage than he was ever at for the PCC and the professor said he would really like J to TEACH A CLASS IN THE FUTURE! Yes, TEACH! But SHHHHHH....it hasn't happened yet. But that means, he'd be somewhat of a professor! He'd get paid Professor wages for the class he teaches. Wow, J is SOMETHIN! I am SO excited for him! This is all going to be a great experience for him and will be so beneficial to him in the future!
I on the otherhand, just found a reliable, but GOOD job! I will be a Pizza GIRL! I was hired at Pizza Bob's out in Haleiwa (about 30 min away). It's a restaurant and I'll be a server there. But servers make tips and from what I'm told I could do well, which will help our lil family heaps! I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can work a few days a week.
We are so blessed! Things have been going so great for us and we are still, (and always will be) MADLY in love! Today for our "Anniversary" we decided to ditch the classes...the only time (I promise!) and went to Honolulu. We went to the HUGE shopping mall Ala Moana and looked around, got some dinner and just completely enjoyed out day.
We are SO SO HAPPY!

Yay for Pictures!

Well, J and I still feel like we are in a dream. We are loving life together! Today we got an email from Dustin Izatt who was our wedding photographer. He said he had posted some of our pictures that he has finished on his blog. We SO love them! He captured our special day so perfectly! I am so glad that the pictures turned out so well for us to remember our special day. I should be getting a cd of all of them soon, but until then, please look at his website and see them all!!!

Aaahh, the married life...

Well, J and I are now settled into our little "humble" home (studio) back in Laie, HI. We are loving life. School started last Thursday ad we are trying to get back into the swing of things. September is the HOTTEST month here (or so it seems) and we just can't get cool enough! Our cute lil studio has a ceiling fan that runs too slow to make any breeze, but we do have a small fan that is the size of J's palm. hahaha. We thought about getting some popsicles, but our lil fridge won't hold a box! It is so small, and our home is so "humble" but we love it, and we will look back and laugh at our situation....later. :) Everything else is going well! We are back working at the PCC taking photos with tourists, but I'm trying to find more work because hours are short and bills are high! Hopefully I find something soon! Love love love being married to my best friend! He is SO good to me. And we have had SO many blessings since we decided to get married. In fact, last week while we were working we met a couple nice Samoan ladies visiting from New Zealand and Australia. Well, J could relate alot to them because his parents and sister live in NZ and Australia. The ladies were so kind and gave us a good sum of money just because they thought we may need it. We never got their names. They were so kind. It is so true that we are blessed in all sorts of ways by all different people. What a blessing! I am so glad I have a wonderful husband always by my side! Oh how I love him!!!

Gettin' hitched!

Well, it's down to about 2 weeks now! IT is CRAZY! Jay and I have decided to get married before we go back to school. It was just what felt right and everything has been falling into place perfectly! I definitely have TONS to do, but it has been great. Jay's parents and sister are coming over from Australia and New Zealand and some of his family from Alaska is going to make it too! We are so excited! We have found a itsy bitsy little "studio" for this semester that will work until we can move into married housing or someplace better! We are SO excited! We are having a reception here at the house in Blackfoot and it's going to be so fun! Things will work out great. Jay and I are so happy and I think everyone is happy for us. :) I can't wait to start this new part of life! Jay (Jaliz Scanlan) has been such a blessing in my life. He is everything I need! He is so kind and FUN and funny and caring and responsible and a good person. He has given me so much in so many ways and I am so thankful I have him in my life! We have learned to compromise and learn from each other. WE are going to have such a wonderful time going thru life together! I love you, Jay. :)
