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.
