Ahhh! Our first date. Yep, the '02 Fall Ball. Back then, I seriously didn't think that anything would happen between us but as fate would have it...that was the first night of forever!
This is one of the few that we have while we were dating. (Any of you remember those bright puletasis we wore that year ('02) for Cultural Night!?) I am not one of those who take pictures all the time, although there are times that I regret that fact. This was taken on the weekend my parents came over to have the "can I marry your daughter" chat. You know what I'm talking about! That was a definite must in my book! Although he denies it...Ioelu was so nervous! All went well though!
Taken by one of my wonderful sisters, I think this is a beautiful picture and I just wanted to share!
For our anniversary this year we wanted to do something spectacular... Yea, I know, it was only our 6th anniversary but still. We left the kids for the weekend with my parents and headed over to Arizona! Yea, some of you may not think that that was anything spectacular but for us it was. We got to see some great friends from Hawaii that we haven't seen in a long time. Some of whom were moving to New Zealand the following week. Moa and Netta, you guys are great! Thanks for letting us spend some time with you and your kids! Monica! It was so great seeing you! Your kids are beautiful and I hope to come and visit you again soon!
Since this is in honor of our anniversary...I wanted to write a little dedication to the man I share my life with! Many times he asks me why I married him, as I'm sure many of us ask our spouse the same question...maybe for reassurance, justification, or just wanting to be reminded. And many times I just tell him because "I love you". It is very hard for me to say what I am feeling...I get way too emotional and because I'm unsure how the other person will respond...although the second reason isn't really the case with Ioelu. So, I want to tell him some of the reasons why I love him so much.

- He is so patient with me and all my foolishness!
- He helps me become a better person!
- He is my best friend!

I think you said it just right! He is a wonderful man and you are just as wonderful! The perfect couple! Isn't it nice to celebrate a happy marriage when so many around us can't? Happy (late) Anniversary!!
First off--Hallelujah for a new post!
Secondly, it was so fun to see you guys and have you meet our munchkins! You guys need to come and see us more often!
You are so right... every couple asks the infamous "why did you marry me" question. That reassurance is so important, too. You guys really look great together. Happy Anniversary! Here's to six more forever!
Happy anniversay! I am SO SO sad that we were gone when you went to Arizona :( Now you just need to make a trip to Utah to see us too. And I remember your first date! You guys were inseperable after that :)
(and I agree with Monica...hallelujah for a new post! haha!)
Happy anniversary! I remember the bright yellow puletasi - that material was almost day-glo. :D
