more samoa and skiing....

here's a few more pics i'm not sure if i can post anymore cuz it makes me sad that we left...i'm grateful that we went but it was hard to leave...

this was just one spot (my knee) of where the mosquitos got me during the night! i had much more on my hand and legs

loadin up to go home after church! this guy i think was the only one in the ward that had a vehicle so he was the driver. i just loved how the really old lady towards the back sat cross legged in the back of a truck

here is the inside where dean and i slept in our first beach fale

i had to take a pic of this little blondy samoan girl on the ferry that was taking us to another island. she is gorgeous!!!! i fell in love with her when her dad was playing with her and making here laugh!

this is the outside of our beach fale our first night. ya we were right on the ocean!!!! i slept so good with the waves crashing!

dean and i after getting out of the temple. this temple is so pretty! i will never forget it.


so dean and i got some xcountry skis for cheap this summer and decided we should try them out on his day off but the previous days were like 40 degrees so the snow was gone and we got off the trail to go on this hill where there was a little but we still were running into sage brushes, but i loved it! i had so much fun laughing and playing with dean. i was going down this hill and there was a line of bushes i was headed towards so i stopped by falling on my knees but i guess i was going faster than i thought cuz i then after falling on my knees slowly fell on my chest and my hands were caught behind me so i couldn't stop myself. oh too much fun!

good ole rusty and i

oh he makes me laugh!!!
