Never fails.....

So "Baby Girl Muffin" is not here yet...she is "stubborn" she'll make her entrance when she wants!! Everyone says shes perfect for me & Jayy hmmm....is that a compliment or? Oh well it is what is it is huh!!

The past few weeks have been crazy..despite Baby coming the Holidays, work, church, family visiting, bills and the list goes on and on. I've pretty much avoided a few IMPORTANT things just now wanting to deal with them. Yea I know that doesn't help any BUT what we did while avoiding somethings me & Jayy have focused a lot on the New Year coming, and our little new addition and what that means. We have been praying a lot more, talking a lot more about LIFE and goals we want to set and accomplish. During all this I've been able to deal with all the other stuff I have pushed aside and as usual.....all that I had been putting off because of one thing or another "NEVER FAILS" my Father in Heaven as he usually does PULLS it all through!! I may not be his most obedient daughter but I know that when ever I'm in NEED he never fails me!!

Nervous...

Wow its Dec. 28th the first date we were given about Baby Girl "Muffin" no sign of her yet!! So many different feelings, thoughts, emotions are going on its pretty crazy!! Among it all.....I can't explain how blessed Im feeling..we'll let me correct how BLESSED WE BOTH are feeling. For one to have such a UNCONDITIONAL LOVING and MINDFUL Father in Heaven to bless us with this opportunity to be parents to this lil momma...and of course how blessed we are to have loving siblings like Paseni & his beautiful wifey Ita to give so freely one of there blessings to bless us!! Gosh the due date for her seemed so far away and now its HERE.. yea we do have till now and Jan 3rd but its the waiting making me....N E R V O U S!! I could go on and on about the things that I think about...the feelings I'm feeling....the excitement in my heart...so much and so hard to put down into words. I think one of the cutest things is the asking from my Dad every morning it seems. G-Pa says he's ready for a lil granddaughter his lil grandsons are too much lol. I think the BEST though is my husband....I know he's really excited yet really nervous he knows with the baby comes a lot of expectations for him let alone my expectations..its now another lil lady that's going to rely on him!!

I've been meaning to blog about this but never got around to it but I think now will be a good time since i'm logged and blogging dur...lol!! So last week Tues. me & Jayy flew out to Long Beach to take my Aunty Pou and it was so much fun...we stayed over night and flew back Weds morning. That whole trip we were like lil kids roaming the foreign streets on Pacific Ocean Ave. by our Hotel visiting random stores..even stopped at a hole in the wall bar to watch the BYU game yea...poor people were probably wondering what we were doing!! Anyhow when we flew back i came straight into work. When i got in my sup asked how i was doing and if i was excited cause "Baby Girl" was coming soon, and we got to talking about everything the changes and so on, and during the chit chat she told me to read this blog of another co-worker and when I read it to remember how blessed i am even when it gets to those sleepless nights or stinky diapers just to remember what a BLESSING she is going to be...so I pulled up the blog and started reading away.....BOY....if ONLY I had boxes and boxes of Kleenexes i would've buried myself in them!! Her name is Kendra and her blog is http://www.kendraandryanwebster.blogspot.com/. When we touched down in SLC we made up our minds to give our lil "Baby Girl" a nickname "Moomoo" from her Dad I love it, but after reading this blog and feeling just a bit of how great this women Kendra is and with the nickname(among plenty of other ones) she gave her beautiful daughter Mckenzie which was "Muffin". I ONLY HOPE & PRAY that I will be a mother like her...FULL of EVERYTHING always STRIVING to be the BEST the MOTHER that she could be for her daughter the 4months she was here. I hope our daughter is as PERFECT as Mckenzie and Im sure she will be.!! But since reading that blog and the timing of everything (which me & Jayy and Im sure as everybody lives by) "EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON" so her nickname will be "MUFFIN" to help us remember how BLESSED we are to have her...and especially to remind us to EMBRACE the sleepless nights, the crying, the vomiting, the dirty diapers, the $$$ being spent on her, the exercise in packing & unpacking her bags, doctor appointments, teething time, potty training and of course that only for the first few months and years and then from there EMBRACE pretty much all that I probably put my parents through as a girl....now its my turn!! Thank you Crystal (my sup) for referring me to that blog and THANK you to the Webster family especially Kendra for being such a great example of EVERY KIND and a very special thanks to Baby Mckenzie "Muffin" you were to good for this world, and your little time here has changed so many peoples lives including mine and of course my daughter as she grows she will know why we decided to call her "Muffin" to be as special as you are!!

Yup another one of those posts...

Yup it is another one of those posts "catch up"!! But this time I wont be anal to figure if I'm missing something...since he last post 12/2 and today 12/26 A LOT has happened!!

Some of the past things were my Dad's siblings the babies of the family are visiting from NZ his baby sister Tupou brother Vikilani & his daughter Veilomani are here for the Holidays & to visit my handsome Uncle Saia. It has been pretty busy since my last entry..we (Dad, Jayy & Me) did fly out to LBC to pick up Aunty Pou & it was a fun quick little trip. First time for my Dad to FINALLY use the benefits HOI...but he enjoyed it!! Then on the 17th of December my Uncle Vikilani & daughter Veilomani came down that same weekend we had a wedding my Mom was doing I really don't know how this women does it BUT she does and we DID it!!

On 12/20 we had our FIRST LAPU'AHO CHRISTMAS PARTY!! First time to have more than just our family & Uncle Saia's family..it was so much FUN, lots of laughter, crying & memories to last forever!! Christmas this year for me & Jayy was quiet different then the past two years...for ONE our daughter can come any minute now so we've been focusing on that..also Dad (Paseni Crip) is not here with us..but we know he's watching from above. I'm excited for the New Year to come cause I feel very good with whats in store for us...EVERYTHING..the struggles, the blessings, trials, memories list goes on and on!! We'll I know it wasn't much of an entry but it counts for something right...hope you all had a GREAT CHRISTMAS and may the New Year bring more!!

I am TRULY TRULY TRULY GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING I HAVE IN MY LIFE. From the littlest things to the biggest things ALL in ALL it has been for my benefit, and has been blessings in the long wrong!!


I will be starting a new blog hopefully on Dec. 1 dedicated to our little blessing daughter who is due at the end of the month!! So stay tuned!!

A blessing....

The blessing is this man up here...this is one of the many brothers of my Dad BUT the only one we have had here with us in the U.S. Dad comes a very big family however they all reside back in the homeland or New Zealand. Sad to say this is the only brother I have met on my Dad side & I feel so BLESSED that is was him we had blessing of being with out here. Uncle Saia is the most humblest, quiet LOVABLE mad you would ever meet. I have NEVER EVER heard him speak any ill words towards any one or any thing, NEVER seen him upset or angry!! I can still remember him before he was married & had his 8 beautiful children, he would babysit us kids. Now picture 4 lil girls getting ready for the day & having this man at that time healthy & buff (like my Dad:L) putting our hair in barrettes..or feeding us all 6mouths while my Dad was out working & Mom was busy. Up to NOW he is STILL there for us kids all 16 of us!!

Back in 2001 his family was not members of our faith (LDS) but he made sure he did not miss my farewell. I still remember that day he had all his kids in vala tonga (tongan attire) sitting there listening to me. I remember him coming & giving me an envelope of money yet his family was struggling & I REMEMBER his loving words..."Alu tokanga ki he ngaue, ngaue ke lahi" thats all he said and kissed me...I cried & cried & cried my humble Uncle in his beat up van (at that time) with all his kids in there with him. Proud to say before i returned home from my mission in 2002 they were ALL baptized & HAPPY to report sealed as an eternal family a year later!!

Through out the years he has been right there for each of kids a long with his kids!! I can bet you if you met him in person yourself with in a second you would be able to feel of his LOVE!! A few months ago his leg was amputated (diabetes) and at the time the had told him his kidneys will go down hill from then, and as of Thursday (Nov 5th) it has failed. Right now there is nothing that can be done so he is at home with his family & a nurse that comes and checks on him daily.

I hope the best for him and i don't want him to go BUT I do know when the Lord calls its his time! I'm just grateful for my blessings in my life especially my family & especially this handsome man Uncle Saia we LOVE you & know what ever may come we have the TRUTH....FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!!

S L E E P

I hope my eyes dont turn out like this lol....but this is what I've been feeling like & seem to be doing every 15minutes. So today is the last day of training for this week & one more week to go hoi.....but we are NOT going to dwell on that!! I cant wait to get home & sleep in Toniewoo hoo only problem is...it seems I'm never able to sleep past 7:30am or 8a.m. on Saturdays..why? If you know my parents then you would know why lol. I've got this watch that seems to"tick" in my head and the counsels of my parents..."Time is the boss" or "Get things done at the right time" there so many things they would counsel us about in reguards to TIME. Now I don't deprive myself from sleep or relaxation...but I can honestly say there is a lot of things I have changed remembering there counsel with that. So I cant wait to SLEEP but in all HONESTY I cant WAIT to use my time getting things organized, laundry done, cleaning, bills paid, Baby Girls things done...so really I doubt sleep will fit in the schedule.....

GRATEFUL for HIM JASON ALVIN NYDEGGER

I know... I know... another blog about my husband BUT I can't help how SPECIAL he is!! lol We've been married going on 2yrs and 8months & it has been an AMAZING and INTERESTING journey one that I thank my Father in Heaven for every day!! I HONESTLY feel so blessed to have a MAN like Jayy in my life...growing up I only knew him as "BABY JAYY" and he didn't really have a good track record back then...(really lol).

So what makes a girl like me fall in LOVE with a man like him? One word explains it all.....DIFFERENT!! He was DIFFERENT and boy was I about to see how DIFFERENT he was. From the first day i met up with him after years of loosing contact he PROVED himself of being DIFFERENT! For one its not often a girl from the Valley marries a guy from the Valley were like brothers & sisters it would just be odd, but we BROKE that up!! Not often you find a man like him show so much affection regardless of who's around he's called me "LOVE" since the 2nd day we became a little couple. It's to the point my lil nephews call me that cause Uncle Jayy calls "Tia" (Aunt in Spanish) that. He strives to better himself in ways that I know is not common for him to do. I'm grateful I was blessed to be his wife & the mother of his kids & more importantly for one day to make it legit & become his "ETERNAL" companion!! I love you my "KING LEONIDA$" JASON ALVIN NYDEGGER thank you for the past two years & 8 months & ETERNITY to GO!!

Next two weeks...

So much is going on right about now it's pretty hectic. These next 2 weeks I'll have a full schedule full time 8:30a.m.-5p.m. AMEX and then at 7:30p.m.-1:30a.m. a training for my part-time w/JetBlue. So far one day down and 9 more days to go!!

To remind myself on "why" I work at Jetblue (being that I really haven't worked for the last 2 months) I'm booking a day trip this Saturday to LGB for a day! LET US HOPE its not to full so we can get on!! I'm determined to talk my Dad into going as well!! We shall see....

Our 1st ULTRASOUND ஐ.•*¨♥`•°Baby Girl°•`♥¨*•.ஐ

Isn't she PERFECT.....yea I think so myself!! Can you tell what kind of mother I'm gong to be!! I don't even know where to start...maybe with how BLESSED & GRATEFUL I am for Ita & Paseni especially Ita letting me get the feel of being a 1st time Mom. Ita had them (Clinic) do a DVD so we sat at home Saturday (yes on HALLOWEEN) and watched it over & over all 5minutes of it which turned out to be about an hour lol!! She's beautiful...in every way that I could imagine!! I REALLY REALLY feel a CONNECTION to this lil "Baby Girl". I know you Mother's out there know first hand what I am trying to explain. But I DO have it more special..so bias but in sense its REALLY how i feel!! As for our lil nickname for her "Baby Girl" it was given to her by my lil nephew Benson since the day I told him we were having a Baby and she's a girl..he has asked us everyday when "Baby Girl" is coming....he tells everybody he comes in contact with that his "Tia" (Spanish courtesy of his cousin Moala Si'i) is "having a Baby Girl" and its his "sister"!! Oh...can we say its been a very emotional weekend!!

She's COMING woo hoo.....

So the last time I blogged about this was a few weeks back when we had dinner with Seni & Ita talking about the baby in her lil tummy. We'll since then Ita set an appointment for an ultrasound to confirm if it was going to be a little boy or a little girl. Just a reminder that we had agreed if the Baby was a little boy we'd prefer for them to have him since that would be the first son, and if it was to be a girl then we would LOVE to have her! We'll she had a check up last week and we found out that the due date is Jan. 3 & then they set her ultra sound for Oct. 30 which was yesterday & of course with my title of the blog BABY is a....BABY GIRL!! We also found out that she may have Baby the end of December OMG so much is going through my head its pretty crazy!! All my husband could do was smile & tell me we have to start buying things...ah..he knows me to well LOVE TO SHOP!! Besides all this excitement I'm so humbled & grateful to my Father in Heaven he truly knows ones hearts desire!! He has never failed me with anything that i have asked for. I'm grateful for loving siblings like Seni & Ita to love us so much and in trust us with the GREATEST BLESSING of taking BABY. I had found out after being married to Jayy that me & Ita are related through our mother's funny thing is her Mom so reminds me of my Mom, and often times we find ourselves "quoting" the ways our Mom's raised us!!

I don't think I'll ever be able to explain very well what is going through my mind & especially in my heart!! I'm excited to do all the little things that I've watched all the great women in my life do with there Baby's. I'm excited to see my husband carry ALL of Baby's things lol, can't wait to hear her little cry, when she teeth's, change her diapers, feed her, go shopping cause she can't stop growing. I'm excited to start our own little family traditions, the Holiday's, birthdays, family pictures. Can't wait to see my niece & nephews play with her, or my parents be Grandparents all over again with our Baby, or my brother's (her Uncles's) do her little pu'i's lol.....cause there more excited to have a little niece. I can't wait to teach her all that i know about LIFE & more importantly to teach her about the Gospel & how loving our Father in Heaven is. I can't wait to tell her how special she is & how much we LOVE her!! Dang it I'm going to have to stop before i cry all over my keyboard hoi...Isn't that the BEST news!! What a TREAT for us this Halloween I'll ALWAYS remember this time..when I found out we were having a little girl!! Stay tuned family & friends cause the Nydegger's is growing to have a new addition!!

WoW.....

So last post for today FOR REALS!! I swear I'm going to stay up on this "consistency". Now it may not be that big of a deal for some to "blog" but for me it is because it my own lil journal so please BARE with me!

So October 18th (Sunday) as i was rushing into the chapel to get to the Young Women Room (Laurel Teacher) I was stopped at the doorway by Neti Lui (my brother, & the Stake Clerk) asking me to go with him to the Stake Office so I follow him, but all I'm thinking is to get to Young Women's to teach my lesson, not realizing what was in store for me.

A few minutes pass & I get directed into the high council room to be greeted by Tonga (i think that's his name) the 2nd counselor to the Stake Presidency. Well long story short I've been called to serve as 2nd Counselor for the Stake Young Women Presidency...woo hoo...I'm sooooooo excited & at the same time a little nervous. I've been so used to our Young Women in our Ward & area but now its time to work with ALL of them in our Stake. I have no DOUBT my Father in Heaven will be there for me, I know if anything I'll be LEARNING a TON from the Young Women along with the great women I'll be working with Mapuana Tuia (my cousins wife) Angela Tuiaki, & Lose Lao. I'm indeed grateful that i have this time to serve my Father in Heaven, and the Young Women of this Stake & look forward to ALL that lies ahead the good, and the bad all in all it will be for my own benefit!!

Natividad Moala Sales....

So i met this little girl when I married my KING LEONIDA$ back in March 2007. Her full name is Natividad Moala Sales she is half Mexican (woo woo) and Tongan and she came out with BEST of both worlds. She is my sister in law Crystal & Jose's oldest daughter. When I first met her she was very shy, it took her about 2months before she really liked coming around me, but when she did it was no turning back. She has now become my "lil girl" she has me & her Uncle wrapped around her lil finger BUT she has learned to listen to what I say so she's not to spoiled. Since then she has been an added grandchild to my parents they LOVE her just as much as there other grand kids. I think of how lucky she is to have so many Grandparents to surround her with LOVE and lots of SUPPORT as she grows up. Last Sunday was her primary program her 2nd year with a part, she attends church weekly with her Grandma Moala & is a great example for her parents & the rest of us with her desire to learn more about the Gospel. Last year we had bought her this beautiful white dress, but this year she wanted to wear a "fala" (is what she called it) so went traditional with the Tongan wear. Thanks to my Mom and her magic fingers to hook something up for her the night before she was BEAUTIFUL!! Here are a few pictures.... Me (with my eyes closed hoi) Jayy & Baby Moala

BYU Baby....

Ok..ok despite that game w/ TCU we STILL LOVE us some BYU!! We were invited to the IONGI's (Lu, Silia & the 3 DIVAS) home to watch our BYU TEAM..despite the LOSS we had us some good grub (yummy pizza's & pasta thanks IONGI's) and the best company!! It was nice to finally sit back with sister Silia & catch up on the latest with our lives. This women is amazing....a very very hard worker in ALL.... her calling, as a mother, as a wife, and of course as a women out there in the working field...but what amazes me is her CALMNESS about it all!! I often think about what i have on my plate which is...we'll not much compared to some of my sisters!! I do hope that when the time comes & we have our kids that i'll be able to hold it down like them!! Now for the best part which was watching our husbands Lu & Jayy as they watched our team go down the toilet <---literally!! These two have to be the biggest BYU supporters its pretty crazy...especially Lu ha..ha..ha...its NEVER a DULL moment LOVED it!! At least we can say UNGA #45 did his best & were pretty proud!! Harvey & Jayy are 1st cousins (Tausinga side) sad to say when they were younger Jayy used to beat him up...booooo....but NOW look at him!! Moded to my husband ha..ha..j/p. Thanks again to the IONGI's loved watching the game with you guys..and as for our team BYU...just SMASH the "U" this year PLEASE!!
