I'm so excited for conference. I missed the general relief society meeting BUT I'm going to listen to it right after I finish this. I usually like  to watch it live BUT my nephew doesn't get married every day. I've never seen anyone look as happy as my nephew did on his wedding day. Everyone should look or at least be that happy.

His wife isn't that cute. My nephew is too handsome for her and I didn't like her when I first met her BUT anyone that can make him that happy is great with me, I don't care what she looks like. Mosa has no idea how good-looking he is too. When he first got home from his mission he told me how someone told him he looked good. He wanted me to tell him what I thought AND he was totally serious. I told him he looks great. Fragile male ego. Mosa is extremely silly. He is even worse than my brother and that is huge. ANY girl that can handle that is to be commended ALTHOUGH he is a gorgeous RM, 6 "2 and a lot of fun if you can handle the teasing. He proposed with a ring pop several times finishing with PSYCH-before he actually did it with a real ring. This happened over several days. I'm just glad she stuck around. I'm not sure how well that joke would play with me.

George didn't attend. I talked to him and he remembered to wish me a happy late birthday. Of course I reminded him that he didn't take me to sushi yet. He said any other weekend is good but that Mosa's weekend was bad for him. He wanted to do conference weekend but NOOO I'm not driving to SLC again for at least several weeks although I do want to be there for Baby Isa's baptism in Provo. He can certainly take me that weekend and it'll be good to learn about at least 1 sushi place in Happy Valley.

Sad-the only restaurants I went to when I lived in Provo were Dennys and Hardees late after dancing because these were open after 1am. In Hawaii clubs close at 5am. I wonder if that's just because it's a tourist state. Family events in Provo were either at JB's, Hometown Buffet or Chuck 'O Rama. Even without my brother there I have several first cousins who make Happy Valley home. Tilila Lahi, Sala sii, Mosese, Francis, Annie and Tilila Leka are all my first cousins who live in Provo-they all have their families too. 5 of Lila lahi's kids are married with their own children and Sala has 2 daughters who are married with their own families too. All of these grandkids live in Provo. My dad's older brother still lives in Orem too. I also met my Toutai 2nd cousins from California. Will lives in Provo. He has 3 beautiful girls and very cute twin boys.

My Cali cousins are fun. I sat with Will and his sister Maria. We were talking about their brother Dave who is a supporter of Romney now but gets pretty extreme on Facebook. Maria was telling us how he voted for the first time last year when he was 30. He was trying to tell all of his family to rock the vote. Maria said she had to tell him uh Dave I've been rocking the vote since I was 18. Dave and Maria are married to Samoans. So is my brother. Will married an LDS white girl from Michigan.

One of the Tongan Methodist churches has been shut down because years of abuse by one of the administrators was revealed. Maria said the victims were boys who are now teenagers. I read an article about it in the Salt Lake Tribune. I told them how shocked I was to read the article since the Tongan culture is so conservative ESPECIALLY when it comes to sex. Will was laughing at me and asked me if I thought the Tongan world was all sunshine, unicorns, and rainbows. I know it's NOT. It's just that my relatives are extremely protective of me AND Tongan culture prohibits even hand-holding around your family. The younger generations don't practice this BUT I would tell guys I was dating NOT to hold my hand or touch me at all around my brother or male cousins. I was dating this Maori guy from New Zealand when I was 16. He was 16 too but skipped a grade and was attending BYU-Hawaii. I took him to this youth dance at the Laie North Stake. George happened to be there. I didn't get a chance to tell him what he shouldn't do around my brother. He had his arm around my shoulders. George didn't acknowledge my existence. He told me later that night that he didn't like it. I made sure that NEVER happened again. THIS is why it's hard for me to believe what happened.

We have a speaker for our combined fhe tonight. I told Krista I wasn't going to fhe anymore and she said it's combined so I need to go. I invited Mikako to come too. She's meeting me at my house a little before 7 tonight. I forgot who the speaker is but it is in the chapel so I need to wear a dress. I wear a dress more often than not at work but then today is not one of those days. I'll just avoid fhe when it's not combined.

I'm going to treat David just like I treat his avid fans Camilla, Katie, and Shiersta. There's no hostility there, I just choose not to associate with them at all. Maybe there is a little hostility with David. But there will be nothing soon because I want there to be nothing.  I've never doubted how David's felt about me ever mainly because of why I met him in the first place. Subsequent interactions have only supported this idea despite his protests. My answer AFTER praying about it the entire night only strengthened this. So why the resistance???!!! I'm far from perfect but I like my characteristics. If ANY guy had the qualities I do I would be all about them. David knows me well enough. He knows my strengths and weaknesses better than ANYONE in my ward. Right now I have no desire to even be civil with him. We're never going to be friends again much less anything else. He may have called an end to our friendship BUT after learning what I did about him that night it was done.
