Elder Christian CArlo "WAYNE" dela Cruz Costales

Every Sunday Jamie & I make it a goal to write full-time missionaries. One of them is my brother...Elder Christian Carlo "Wayne" Costales who is currently serving in Washington Tacoma Mission. He's been out for 1 yr and 4 months now and he's loving every moment of it. Time goes by so fast. I can still remember the time when he opened his mission call and how he got so excited for it. He is the first one from my family to go on a mission( I was gonna go on one too..but plans changed..lol..better decisions were made..i married Jamie:) ) Anyways..he's been writing us every week and for every letter..he shares some of his greatest experiences on the field. He sounds so different than before. He's all grown up now, so mature and his faith and testimony in the gospel is so strong. I can always feel the spirit whenever I read his letters. His love for the Savior and the gospel encourages him to do his best in everything. We all miss him so much but we know that the mission field is where he needs to be at this time. We're so proud of him!!

--Kuhio Day / 9th Monthsary (March 26,2009)--

Yep...Jamie and I are celebrating our 9th monthsary!!:) Good thing today was a holiday.. and we got to spend more time w/ each other. We ddn't do anything out of the ordinary...but we had a lot of fun. We drove to Kaneohe...shopped (Jamie gets really tired when shopping w/ me)...ate SUSHI (w/c is one of our favorites) and jamie helped me practice driving...i still suck at it though and i feel so tense whenever i do it (I'm glad jamie's really patient w/ me..Lol). Anyways...like what i said...we had fun. I really appreciate these times when we get to hang out..eat what we love to...and just do whatever that would make us happy. I feel so blessed having Jamie as my husband...he might be the quiet type (which is the total opposite of my personality) but he always makes me happy. I've learned a lot from Jamie and I love him.

I'm back...gotta keep my blog UPDATED:)

I haven't posted anything for a very long time. It's not because nothing great happened during the past months (actually a lot did) but I guess I'm just not good at keeping up w/ these kind of stuff. I've been really lazy and like what I always tell my friends as an excuse...I'm not a good writer. lol. but..yeah...I'm back..hope a lot of you are excited. I made a goal to keep this thing updated for our families and friends...hope you all can help me make this possible.:)
