• 2nd (Saturday) Nanea spent the weekend with Tutu and Pi'i as they took her to the Punahou Carnival. She got her face painted and road her first roller coaster.

• 9th (Saturday) we celebrated Waitangi Day with other kiwi at PCC. We also sold our faithful 1994 Toyota Camry. It has served its purpose for us over the past 2 years. Since. The miles have gotten high from me traveling to town for school we have decided to part and look for a newer model.
• 10th (Sunday) I was hospitalized for my vertigo
• 12th (Tuesday) We submit Jason's application to work as a Community Working Facilitator at QLCC here in Punalu'u which he was recommended to apply for from Employees currently working there.
• 14th (Thursday) Happy Valentine's Day-we were heart attacked by our neighbors, the Gillet's.
• 15th (Friday) today we bought a 2006 Chevy Aveo with 114,000 miles, Automatic, A/C, from a dealer in Wahiawa.  It was from an ad in Craigslist.  It was  a little more than I wanted to spend but worth it because it's the most current car we've owned.

• 16th (Saturday) Jason and I went to the temple to do sealings.  Our NZ neighbors, the Gillet's watched the 2 girls for us which was a blessing. They have 6 children and a puppy, which was more than enough to keep Nanea entertained.  It was our late Valentine's date and just what we needed.  We have been recipients to so many blessings, from medical attention to care from our Laie 8th ward, employment for Jason, so we are happy to be able to attend the temple regularly even more now that we have 2 daughters.  We also have big decisions to make so we want to make sure that regular Temple attendance is consistent so that we can have the guidance of our Father in Heaven.
• 18th (Monday) President's Day-Hanging out with tutu and Pi'i at Ho'omaluhia while mommy and Hali'a rested a home and daddy worked.

*24th (Sunday) I was called to be the Assistant Secretary in the Relief Society. I also wen visiting teaching with my companion, sister Kakuhiokalani.
*25th (Monday) I went to my 6 week postpartum appointment and got cleared to start being active and exercising and swimming. Weight: 152.4 pounds. 17.4 pound to loose!
*26th (Tuesday) we started a play group with Erin Campbell, Roo Kalama, Sanoe DeCaires, Kehau and any other moms that want to join in. We alternate locations weekly between the Campbell house and the TVA park. This is so helpful for me and Nanea to get out some energy and socialize with others our ages. I went for my first run. It sucks how your mentally ready, but physically not. It felt nice to get a sweat on! Now I can start shedding these extra baby pounds.
*27th (wednesday) I went to my first appointment with the ENT Dr. (ears, nose and throat) to help me figure out why this vertigo problem is going on. He said that i may have this disease where my ears don't drain. I have to have a hearing and balance test done next week and start doing therapy. I hope this helps to take it away. Today I also found out that I PASSED my FE Exam! We went to Surf-n-taco's to celebrate! All of the added stress and studying during the last semester payed off! I'm one step closer to becoming a licensed engineer.
*28th-I interviewed to become a substitute teacher at Laie Elementary for the windward side of Oahu. We also filed our taxes.
