Continuing with the tradition of compiling our videos and pictures taken throughout the year into a final comprehensive film, we present you with Aloha: Episode III – Around the World. Like the other Aloha productions, it was a long week of organizing media and editing, but as always, we think it was worth the time and effort. Most importantly, you’ll not want to miss Kalani’s dance video: My DJ which rolls after the credits.
Here’s a full list of what’s been updated since our last post:
We’ve just heard from Cousin Jana that she was married on September 24th, 2005, to Vincent DeRamus! Judging from the beautiful pictures, the wedding looks like it was held at nice quiet place in England. We’re happy for Jana and look forward to meeting Vincent.
Family Updates:
Tia & Kalani recently flew to Texas to spend a week with Tia’s college roommate Angela DeLong. Tia and Angela were best of friends at BYU-Hawaii. Angela is now married with two young daughters. Tia & Kalani had a great time and some of their pictures can be seen in Kalani’s photo album. Tia’s next trip will be to Hawaii this month for 10 days, accompanying her father and brother to celebrate the Golden Jubilee – 50 years of BYU Hawaii.
While Tia’s traveling the globe, I’m trying to keep my head above water with 21 units at California State University of Sacramento (Sac State). Seven classes this semester, six more next year, and I’ll graduate with a bachelors in Management Information Science. Though it seems like there is light at the end of the tunnel, I will most likely be applying to graduate school next year in order to hopefully make enough money some day to keep up with Tia’s plane tickets and shopping habits.
Lastly, we wanted to mention Makana’s article in the Omaha World-Herald. The local newspaper did a story on the Mormon Church, focusing on our missionary efforts. They featured Makana and her companion in the article as an example of a missionary companionship, outlining what they do day to day.
Kalani continues to grow and learn new tricks everyday. We won’t bore you with the typical parental guess-what-our-baby-did, but we have posted her latest picture album.
The family directory has been updated to reflect instant messaging contact information, particularly: ICQ, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and MSN Messenger. Each person in the directory has their email listing, as well as icons representing their instant messenger contact info. If someone subscribes to a particular service, the icon will be highlighted and clickable to reveal their screen name / contact.
We have finally received a good amount of pictures from Makana on her mission in Ohama Nebraska. Those albums can be found as Omaha: April and Omaha: May. She was recently transferred and her new address is:
Sister Makana Limary2332 Bel Court #6Omaha, NE 68112
From one of Makana’s recent letters:
After three different Sisters coming down with migraines, and my still current battle against this stomach problem.. we finally got to move. They did a mold check in the apt and couldn’t find anything. Then one of the senior couples said maybe its psychological.. Holy cow.. What is it with people and thinking that i am crazy?!
• I have finally finished editing our compilation France video, which is ready for your viewing pleasure.
• In 1997 my grandfather took my cousin Nate and I on a safari to Kenya, Africa. Pics are posted, video to follow.
• For our one year anniversary (Jan 2004) Tia and I spent a few nights in downtown San Francisco. We took some pictures at the zoo.
• My younger brother Adam just received word that he will be serving his two year mission in Salt Lake City, Utah. He is very excited and reports to the Missionary Training Center on June 29th.
