There are so many things to be grateful for, and August was a month that reminded me just how lucky I am to be surrounded by the ones who I love most.
My younger brother A.J. was called to serve in the Nuku'alofa, Tonga mission and on August 13th he finally left for the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah.
It was definitely an emotional day for me and my family. What a great blessing it was to witness him be set apart as a full-time missionary. We couldn't be more proud of him :)
See you in two years, Elder Lolohea!
And speaking of blessings.. In the middle of all the craziness, Rob and I found out that we are expecting.. :)
After having two miscarriages, Rob and I are hoping that this "rainbow pregnancy" will be a successful one. We are SO excited and ready to be parents! Can't wait to meet you, Baby Atiga. :)
"Rainbow Babies are the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it does not mean that the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and the clouds. Storm clouds may still loom over but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy, and much needed hope. "
I truly believe that this is something we were blessed with through my brother serving a mission for our family. It's crazy how this gospel works, and I'm so grateful for missionary work and the blessings that come from it.
Also, last weekend Robs older brother Muka was finally sealed and married in the Salt Lake City temple to his girlfriend of 8 years....
Miss Cassidi Tatafu.
Mr. & Mrs. Mark Henry Atiga
They started dating around the same time as me and Rob and over the years I have gotten super close to Cass and her sisters. I am so happy for them and so excited for what's in store for them and their marriage.
I also got the chance to attend my first bachelorette party for my girl Cass..
It was definitely a night to remember..
Thank you August, for the memories.
