Busy! today was another hectis weekend! today was "raisefund" for our youth girls camp & Im happy to say they met their goal. Between that a stake softball game & Keenans birthday it was a wonderful weekend. I think I'd rather be busy than sit at home & pick my nose waiting to see whats goin on in the rest of the world. I know that spending time right now with Jalen & Mydus are important because they are going to be driving soon which means they'll be too busy to hang out with me & George..sad for me!! Im sad that its all changing so fast! Ill be going through this antisipation of "leaving the nest" for years! the kids are so far apart in age that itll be going on for a span of 12 years! SSSUUUCCCKKK!! Oh well! I just hope that Ive made enough of a positive influence that it will make a difference on the choices they make in life. I also hope they've paid attention to my heartaches & mistakes that they would want to do things differently so as not to make the same mistakes & follow my dark footsteps. WOW that was dark! so on a happier note , my NINI is now 8 and we are trying to plan her baptism. I hope I can pull of something decent for her. she expects alot being our only girl and I dont want to disappoint her but the budget just doesnt allow it. We'll try &* work it out though...any how I just want her to know the importance of her decision more than the importance of a big bash..I hope she get that... any way..

Once again I had A busy weekend. Thursday & Friday Jalen & Mydus had football camp hosted by Fahu & Reno..for FREE! yes FREE is definantly for me. Then my company party was Saturday (in the rain) at Lagoon. we all still soldiered up and stuck it out from Noon til 10pm. It was nice to spend time like that with my own little family. I'm sun burnt ,sore from walking all day & have acid burn down my throat from vomiting after Lagoon. I was all worth it. Today is Fathers Day & I wanted to tell everyone how special my father. I was so spoiled when I was young and in some ways still am. I love my Dad. I also am very proud of my husband. You know that half of the reason why my husband isn't in jail or have a major criminal record is because when he goes out with his friends he remembers he has a family waiting at home for him. He tells me we are constantly a reminder that he needs to get home safely. I love you George.

This weekend was a hectic weekend! 2 Graduations (CONGRATS KAVA & RESA)a baby blessing (Cute little Sione),a baptism( Yea Ely!) and a memorial service for the sister of one my best friends( I love u Autumn) not to mention that now Im healthier & have to work. Not normal 9-5 hours...no no no..Nina doesn't get that easy of a life. Vampire hours are my specialties. Our AFU side is doing a healthier living challenge (OUR TEAMS GONNA WIN-a BIGGEST LOSER type thing)whoa whoa whoa. Thats not it though. Everyweekend we have a birthday party to attend, a baptism to witness or a wedding to crash...jess kidding about the wedding crash...seriously, we are invited! Im excited the summer has started even though you cant really tell by the weather. Let the sunshine in! any day now I'm ready for a scorcher! But then I know Ill start being ready for the snow...one things for sure...I really dont mind the rain. My family & I play the "remember when" game & go through r Florida memories when it rains. Every few weeks I hope to get better at this blogging thing. I just need more time with my consultant(Autumn)... she has the schedule that i know I'd go insane with. !!

Okay...so I got this idea from my good friend of 17+ years..Autumn. We've all been told to keep a journal like the Nephites of old..but can you imagine if the Nephites could just write or type their thoughts how much they'd have to say about each other? All the personal & inspirational & maybe some spiritual stuff I'll keep to myself..for the most part this is the stuff that makes everyday that much sweeter being a mother of five in this "dispensation". So for those of you that sorta / kinda know me lets start from the begining. My name is Peninaolemoana Marina Lokeni Afu. I am the only girl of Fogafalelua & Anna Lokeni. I have 4 brothers & no sisters. Sometime during all this I'll be able to write about my brothers but for now there are 5 other men more important in my life. I am married to Siaosi Afu Jr. and together we have 4 boys and 1 girl. Apart.. there is no such thing & anyone and everyone who knows us knows that. I think for now I'm going to leave this as my first entry & signout. Hope you all have positive input & are inspired to keep visiting.. Peninaolemoana
