Talofa Sister Wihongi,
Monday 2nd, Erana and I went to another concert but at TVille High with ‘James Thorup’. It was a bit cringey. What was nice the first person that performed first was Ben Taylor, I thought he looked familiar and the name sound familiar. Well it turned out that I was right, it was Mina’s friend from High School and she had made a music video for him, he sang a nice song.
Friday February 13th, Dad, baby and I went back to St. George to stay there till Monday. Baby and I had a long weekend off from School. And had no plans so we decided to go and stay with Uncle Shaun & Aunty Christine again, since last time was too short. We got an ice-cream at the Cheese Factory in Beaver. When we got to St.George, I made Curry Chicken dinner for everyone. Shaun took, Dad and Baby to get some dessert, they came back with bananas, ice-cream and toppings to make banana splits. We went to one of their condos hot tubs and lounged there for a while. They have firepits too, we sat around one, it was hot. Saturday morning after breaky we went with Shaun to the Main pool area to make Valentines gifts, we made heart finger print key chains and magnets. Then we went and picked up Gracie, and went to visit Maddie and Nephi, and the new baby - ‘Saint Mahia’. They have a nice home, Ziah and Dad were bonding, playing with playdoh. Later Shaun, Christine, Dad & I went to Mesquite to have the All You Can Eat Seafood Buffet. The buffet was ok lol, Shaun and I mainly just ate the Crab legs, they were yummy. We went to the same hot tubs again and relaxed.
Sunday went to their ward sacrament, it was packed full of visitors. Shaun and Christine stayed for classes, we came home with Gracie after sacrament. Connor and Jamie, they work on Sundays, they both seem to be work-a-holics. Christine made a yummy chuck roast dinner, with roasted potatoes. Monday we had breaky and then packed up and came home. While I was driving home I noticed I was getting sick. Tuesday I was sick, I was having bad allergies sickness. Congested, sinus, runny nose, like I usually have BUT I also had sore achy muscles and my tmj in my jaw was painful. So I put a hot bean bag on my jaw…. and didn’t know till Thursday afternoon that I had burned my skin on my face from the hot bean bag. Wednesday I didn’t go to work or to our YW activity, I was still too sick. Thursday I substituted for the Librarian and Science. Thursday was my 51st birthday, Dad, Tyrell, Alisa and I went and ate at The Cheesecake Factory. I ordered spicy ginger beef tenderloins, Dad had Steak Diane, Tyrell got shrimp gumbo and Alisa got 5 cheese pasta. Dad got me a slice of mango and lime cheesecake. When we got home, we used it for my birthday cake, Dad bought be a neck massager (Christine had the same one). Jaxon bought me a candle and a can opener. Saturday I tried cleaning and de junking, ended up putting our leather couches on FB Marketplace and in the afternoon, some guy came and took them away - that was quick!. Now I have to go find a new couch and chair for our room. On Sunday we celebrated my birthday again, I had tried to make the same dinner Jay got, Steak Diane. But I used chuck roast, and it turned out yummy. Mina and Tane bought me a bag of New Zealand treats, and Tyrell and Alisa made me a pavlova. Monday after work I took a nap, still my jaw has been painful. Scott and Heather came over with a mango cake from Tous Le Jour, and Scott gave me $50.
