Looking back





On this unusual rainy day I thought I would take a look back at some of the old pictures. It seemed only right with the rain falling outside, under a blanket and eating popcorn.Ohhh sweet memories...

My new job at Bath and Body works is fun and I really like it. It is nice to have something in my life that is just mine. I enjoy the peeps I work with. I think it is going to work out really well.
If you can't tell I have done a little make over on my blog here. I made a new playlist playing all the songs I am listening too right now. Brett Dennen is my favorite. Listen to all the songs..I bet you will like them. Enjoy!

Workin 9 to 5

Well, starting tomorrow I am a working woman again. It has been over two years since I have worked! I am working 25 hours a week at Bath and Body as a LEAD(not quite sure what that means yet.). We could really use the moola right now. I have had mixed feelings about this. OKAY actually I have been a substitute crossing guard this past year and I will still continue to do that but that is hardly work. With working comes the stress of finding someone to watch Tati when George and I are both working and saying goodbye to her. I, however, am actually excited to get back in it again. I worked since I was fifteen so I was growing restless. I guess ask me in a few months what I think then.
We have also decided to wait on having the next baby for likely three to six more months. We are going to wait until insurance has kicked in. I also have mixed feelings about this. But hopefully I can loose twenty pounds before I get pregnant again. Maybe working will make that easier to get back into a routine of working out. Anybody out there want to join me on weight loss and post on our blogs let me know. It is always easier to do it with other people.
George is still thinking about the army reserves as well as real estate school. He is still working full time security and has started FedEx from 2am -7am. I just know he is going to burn himself out. I know we aren't going to see each other very much anymore so we will have to make an effort to have quality time and lots of dates.
I AM SOO SOO HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT FALL IS COMING! If you know me you know fall is my season. Halloween is the time I wait for all year. I already have my costume picked out. I'm not telling... you will have to be surprised. It's going to be great. I love the weather in fall, the colors and the smells. This fall is going to be the best ever I have decided. I want to do lots of corn mazes, haunted houses and hanging out with our friends. Just thinking about it makes me excited!
That is the update on the Tupou Family for now. But, I leave you with a question. I have not yet decided who I am going to vote for this election. Have you decided? Do you have firm answers from that candidate on your questions? If you feel impressed to share those with me email me Tupoufamily@gmail.

No kids..hip hip hooray!


Yeah I got to go shopping at the outlets in Park City with some good friends. It was a lot of fun taking my time cruising the stores without hearing MAMA MAMA MAMA. The time went by really fast though. Before we knew it it was six pm. It was Kim and Jamie's six year reunion so I won't be too mad at him for taking this AWESOME picture of us with my eyes closed. AWESOME!

Dinosour and more..




Last week, our ward had a mommy and me play date at the Dinosaur musuem at Thanksgiving Point. Jos and I were a little late so it turned out to just be us and our little munchkins. We had fun.

I'm so lonely...

George leaves in about an hour for the Portland for the weekend. He has a rugby games going on out there. SAD! That leaves me and little Tats alone until late sunday night. What oh what are we gonna do? This may be just a forshadowing of the future because if you don't know George has been seriously considering joining the army for sometime now. I am PRAYING big time that he finds a better job in the next week and he doesn't have to sign up. I would hate for him to be deployed and live away for a year or longer. Or worse be dismembered or killed. But I can't really think about that right now. I so am not an army wife....
