Aryana Lanimaina Marie Apelu's 14th Birthday Bash!


My beautiful princess, Aryana, turned fourteen yesterday. It's such a clique to ask where the time has gone, but seriously---WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?

Fa'a and I could not be prouder of the amazing young woman she has grown into. She is honestly a kind-hearted, loving, giving, obedient young woman. She is organized, loves to serves, thinks of others first. Her favorite pass time is attending the temple serving others through Baptisms for the Dead twice a week at the Jordan River Temple.

Under no false pretense do I stand to take any credit for the incredible young woman that has blessed our life.  I truly believe we are born with the spirit we had in the pre-existence and we are the same as we were then. Fa'a and I must have done something good to be so blessed with three amazing children.

Happy Birthday to my Princess Aryana Lanimaina Marie Apelu


Enjoy some highlights from her birthday party.
