Update!

My sister reminded me on Friday that my last blog was New Years eve... haha.

January
My nephew Na'a Junior was born. My sister Lisa gave birth on Jan 1st. Very exciting New Year addition to the Hafoka and Mann clan.

We downsized at work. Closed one office. Took on extra accounts and lost 2 people in our office. We had a lot of positions to fill in January - so it was a blessing!

February
Work still busy. Still a big Blessing.

Baby Na'a was blessed. It was good to see and catch up with close family.

TOFA committments into over-drive mode with the Mentoring/Tutoring program with Luther Burbank High School and other local high schools. Met with several groups of youth in the community. Working close with about 30 of them - having a blast seeing their enthusiasm to make a difference in their own lives. Even went to LA and discovered a future opportunity for TOFA and local PI's in Sacramento. Exciting news to follow later in 2009 or early 2010.

Valentines - lots of SWEETS :) Valentine Pizzas and treats with all of the Nephews and Nieces and Nana in Elk Grove. Yum goodies for Aunty Liz :)


Amber (my sister in-law) got new pic's of their kids! So cute!




March
Work is back to slow. Sales is up!

Dance Practice is well on its way now for Harvard in May! Its pretty exciting. The kids are learning quickly and the instructors are awesome! I have a great team I'm working with. Parents and Church leaders are also very supportive.

Ward Primary Missionary activity. I did New Zealand. We made mini Potatoe Top Pies and Temple Pudding with custard and Ice-cream. It was a hit! The kids and adults loved it!



Nana Bessie's World Wibe Web Family Reunion is scheduled for this weekend in honor of her Birthday this Friday March 13th. Each family has been busy preparing their individual family video/footage to upload on our private family youtube to share with each other. We will SKYPE in this weekend! Can't wait! We finished our video recording on Saturday night - after much joking around, noise control with excited grand kids and ended off on a musical note with a song that Uncle Paul (Dad's brother) wrote himself "Where Shall I Go?".



Okay - now that we are brought to the present. I will sign off and get back to work!

that's some update! good on you for getting us up to speed so quickly. that idea about the www reuion is awesome! did that take much planning? i may have to steal that and get something going with my family.

and glad you're still employed despite your other office closing and the loss of two employees. these are scary times, so keep blogging! (the two have nothing to do with each other, but i was hoping you wouldn't notice and just keep blogging. lol) xox sepa
