This week!

This has been a busy week in the Auva'a household.  One thing I've learned since being married to Tui is that everything runs on Tui time!  :) The slowest thing he's done since I met him is wait to propose. Since then it seems I jumped in the passenger seat and he has sped off to make things happen. 
This week we finished up our 2nd week of training in Orem at Corporate Kneader's.  This week will be our 3rd and final week of training and then we will be ready to get the store open and running. 
In the meantine, Tui was advanced to the office of a High Priest today and set apart as the 2nd counselor in the Bishopric of the Vaiola ward.  We are very grateful for the support and love of our parents and families as well as having Grandma and Grandpa Harbertson visiting our ward today for this very special day for Tui.  I am so grateful for the wonderful priesthood holder and example he is to all who know him.  I look forward to supporting him fully with this new opportunity to serve.
Finally, this past week we were able to find the perfect new home for us.  After looking diligently for the right place the last 6 months it seemed we'd never find something.  And then Monday evening in a last attempt on ksl as we drove up down the streets of Bountiful I found a listing with no picture.  We were close by so I called and the owner happened to be there and was willing to wait for us to come over and let us see it.  As we drove over Tui said, "I have a really good feeling about this place..."  surprisingly I felt the same.  We had really struggled in the past being on the same page about what would be the right place for us, but without having even seen a picture we both had a really great feeling.  As we pulled up we both said, "Oh yeah! This could definitely be it."  We move in this weekend and absolutely can't wait to get settled into a wonderful house that we can make an even more wonderful home.
I feel so grateful and surprisingly peaceful even with all the changes in our life this week.  We have such amazing support of family and friends and I want to say THANK YOU!! to you all.
