(thats FAMILY in filipino)
we are alive and back from our adventurous vacation in utah.
it was grand and wonderful. seeing my family makes my heart so freakin happy. i'm so grateful for my family and when i get to see them i just soak up the time i have with them.
but first on the way down to spanish fork (where we were staying with my auntie) i just HAD to see my best friend charlene before she left on her mission to the PHILIPPINES!! when charlene and i were younger we would say that she and i would both go on a mission to the philippines and well, i have brett to thank for ruining that for me...jkjk life happens, but i'm SOO proud of charlene for going on a mission. i can't wait for her to come back speakin tagalog fluently!
and the reason why we went to utah...ALLLLL the WAYYYYYY down to manti, where my sweet sis and her hubs got sealed. it was so beautiful and there were just too many tears, coming from me that is.
here are some cute pics i took of the happy couple...
me and the boy
and i took a few awesome pics with my auntie's DSLR camera and i NEED a camera like it!! BRETT!!
did you know the manti temple was built on a rattlesnake-infested site?yikes.
it was also the only temple to be dedicated by president Lorenzo Snow.

our bffs steve and gwen came down to meet my folks and having them with us made our vaycay even more fun. turns out steve served his mission in the same area where my filipino family's from in the philippines. so they all had a lot of fun talking about whats changed and who's still there and whatnot.
brett and i gorged ourselves on the endless filipino food my amazing mom, aunts, and grandma cooked.
my parents brought out tootsie as a surprise! i miss da tootz
these boys are just some of my handsome cousins in the family.
what the heck? they're all taller than me, and before i used to pick on em when i towered over them.
my boy cousins have grown up to be such gentlemen. and kately (the one next to me) has grown up to be such a sweet little lady.
