What's Most Important
How is it that many of us get so caught up in life that we miss the most important things?
Many years ago when the kids were small Simon and I struggled to balance our lives. Employment, financial status, homes, cars, and personal desires often clouded our judgment. It's so easy to justify the little things in life that seem harmless at the time. Taking that job that traveled out of state because we could use the extra money, or buy that car that we couldn't really afford, or go to lunch with a co-worker of the opposite sex, take that much needed vacation with the guys. I remember a time when we used to say, "You do you and I'll do me." All of these decisions had long standing consequences that affected our entire family. Some of them worse than others. We were guilty of young, inexperienced selfishness. Selfishness for the now, the immediate satisfaction without regards to our future. I think we may not be the only guilty couple of these mistakes. I call them mistakes because we ultimately changed our behavior for the better.
Simon and I now find satisfaction in being together. Together as a family. Together as a whole. After surviving a few doses of reality, friends and loved ones lost or broken up, heartbreak, and earth shattering despair, we asked each other, "what really matters most?" The answer was US!
Our family is morphing into little satellite families, high school kids and grand kids. We needed to find something that brought them back to US. So this year we decided to invest in an annual vacation that the entire family would stop what they were doing in life to join us no matter what. Lake Powell was the winner and we were fortunate enough to spend one week without internet, TV or the demands of life.
The family dynamics were astonishing! We talked more, loved more, played more, and worked more. Many times I would look around with tears in my eyes thinking this must be what heaven looks like. It wasn't just the place (granted it is one of the most beautiful) but it was the company. Surrounded by everyone we loved- we couldn't be more blessed.
We are all in different phases in life, but when we do a deep soul searching assesment of ourselves are we really happy with what we are focusing all of our attention on? Are we seeking the immediate satisfaction or are we investing in our future? Seek after, Invest in, and Create Memories in "What's Most Important"!

TIME
I almost forgot what my blog's name was, since it's been so long. I let life take a hold of me and forgot about the rest. I have been living in the moment, the here and now. You know the feeling- when life is so crazy it feels so good! Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed that I just want to curl up and cry but I don't, I keep going and it is a whirlwind of joy and fascination for all that life has to offer. That is what time it is for me.
How many times in life do we get so busy that life just passes by and then as we look back on it we wish that we could have frozen time. I often used to think this in the earlier years with my brand new babies. I was exhausted all the time. I wished they would just get a little bit bigger so that life wouldn't be so demanding. Well- wasn't that the stupidest wish ever! I can hardly believe what I've done! I've wished myself right out of a JOB! They no longer need me! They are practically all grown up and now what? I've gotta get a hobby!
Falisha and Anthony had an adorable baby girl (Olivia Jade) in September and they immediately moved in with us. The baby diapers, lotions, bottles, toys and blankets took over the house. This is what consumed my time for 5 months. It was a whirlwind of joy and fascination in watching and participating in my grand daughter's life. There certainly was a huge amount of joy in watching my oldest daughter become the mommy. Words can't even express how proud I am! They just bought their first home and so, we packed them up and moved them out. We've been consumed with little projects over at their new house to make it their own. We've even created a hair salon so Falisha can work form home. And I must say- it's awesome!
Harris and Jaden are finally graduating from college! We will officially have a Social Work and Graphic Design Major in the Fehoko family, Well, I guess technically it's the Leafa Family now. But who's complaining! College Graduates! CHEEHooo! It seemed like forever but Jaden has really only been in Hawaii for three years. We have been trying to get the house ready for our new guests arriving mid April! WAHOOO!! I can hardly believe it- she's coming home! Again, I am caught up in a whirlwind of joy and fascination at both of their accomplishments! I'm sure they are frightened and stressed about moving back to Utah and will secretly try to find a way to get back as soon as possible. But my goal is to get them stuck here. Great jobs, and maybe a few babies will keep them in Utah!
We've moved the boys out of the basement and upstairs with us! Wow! Have I been missing out! They are loud, rambunctious, stinky, and dang freakin cute! We are spending more time hanging out after school and before bed since they are upstairs. Yesterday I caught Simon and the boys having a dance battle! The boys don't like my constant nagging to clean up their messes but the rooms are bigger so the messes seem smaller. Win for all of us! Simi is gearing up for his Standford visit the first weekend in April. During that weekend we plan to visit CAL since that's Jeremy's favorite school! I get to tag along during the boys trip- Again! They eat healthier when Mom comes!
TIME at the Fehoko house doesn't stand still for a minute! One minute they are all here and the next minute there gone and then their back again and then gone again! I'm just enjoying the ride. I cry about the day they will all be gone for good. This day will come sooner rather than later. It will be when their lives are consumed with joyful fascination for their own little families! My tears roll down my cheeks as the memories flood my heart and mind. Hopefully they will tell their children the stories of a time they once lived with Grandma and Pappa and ohhh how much FUN we all had!
