Finding JOY in the JOURNEY...: She lost her first tooth (naturally)!!!

December 11, 2008

She lost her first tooth (naturally)!!!

On the day of her mother's wedding, Savannah (who was three at the time) was swinging in one of those kid swings with the chain and slipped through the bottom and her tooth caught on that chain and ripped it out! Oweeeee! It was really traumatic for Savannah and her mom!!! So needless to say her first tooth loss experience was not a pleasant one:-(

Well she had her first day of school (her family moved into a house and this was her first day of the new school) and her first experience going to full day Kindegarten and eating lunch at school. When her mother asked her if she liked eating lunch at school she said NO...because it made my tooth all wiggly. And sur eenough her bottom front tooth was ready to give way. Savannah did not want her mother to pull her tooth out but after much persuading and a quick tug Savannah has officially lost her first tooth!!!!!!!!

Our little baby is a big girl and is very excited for the tooth fairy. She also likes her new school and loves that she has her very own yard to play in at her new house. She has become quite the jabberbox over the phone and kept Lee on the phone for a half hour telling him all about her tooth, new school and yard:-) A big change from a few months ago where we could barely keep her attention for 5 mintues. She is very much a GIRL in every way and I LOVE THAT about her. We miss you baby girl and can't WAIT for summer!!!

Once upon a time...

Mibi grew up in Laie and attended Kahuku High and Lee grew up in Haleiwa and Mililani and attended Mililani High. Mibi went to College at BYU-Hawaii and then served a mission in the Utah Ogden Mission before meeting the man of her dreams. After school, Lee jumped into the workforce looking for his career and eventually ended up working for Mibi's family flower shop at Turtle Bay while Mibi was serving her mission...and never thought that this job would lead him to his "Angel". We met in Septmeber of 2001 after I returned home from my mission. I came back to the flower shop to manage things for my Mom and Lee had left to pursue his education. Well a few months later, Lee's education path didn't take the direction he had hoped and instead life lead him back to Turtle Bay. The first thing he did was call Mom to get his job back and of course she said YES. So, I was Lee's boss and there was an instant friendship...it felt as if we had known each other our entire lives. We kept it strictly business for a few weeks and then one night I was gong to make a Wal-Mart run after work and called him to see if he wanted to come along. His phone was busy (the days before call waiting) and I almost gave up...but after a few more tries he picked up and from that night on we were inseperable. I think we told each other our life stories that night and we both knew then that our lives would never be the same! Over the next year, we formed a deep love and respect for each other which kept us connected through a few rough patches and across the ocean as Mibi moved back to Utah. Finally after a year of being best friends, we both realized that there is no one on earth we would rather be with than each other! We were a couple for about two years when Lee proposed to me and we tied the knot at the exact place we first met...the same hotel the flower shop was located when we worked there...TURTLE BAY. And to add to our JOY, we have a beautiful daughter Savannah (Lee's biological and Mibi's spiritual daughter ) who we just ADORE! She is so smart, funny, outgoing, a jabberbox like her Dad and just the cutest thing you have ever seen!!! We also are praying that we can give her a little brother or sister sometime in the next year or two!!! Until then we have a Doberman (Kayla) and a cat (Shadow) that we spoil rotten and of course all of our Nieces and Nephew's. It has been almost 8 years of wedded bliss and although we have had our ups and downs, each experience has made us grow more in love with each other and are still each others best friend!
