The Hawaiian Hiatt's

Well this year has been quite a roller coaster ride. And the sad thing is, is that it's not over yet. There is a lot of positive that happened this year. For example, Brint and I got married. I got to make a relationship with my Father and his family. Which I am very grateful for because they are such amazing people. We have Duke and we just adore him. He has brought a lot of happiness to our lives. We are in a ward that we LOVE! There are just such awesome people there and our bishop is just great. We are so grateful to be in this ward. We really feel like we were suppose to be there. Brint's company is doing great. And he is making allot of progress with their game that they are launching! Go honey!!! I "kinda" got a promotion, well at least a different position in my company. So pretty much it's been a good year... But there has been allot of heartache and allot of tears shed this year. 

One of Brint's best friends Shaun had his younger brother commit suicide. That was very difficult for Brint and he was trying to be strong for Shaun but there was a situation that happened earlier with Shaun his wife and I where it made it hard for Brint to be the best friend that he could be. Then on top of that my family has had more drama then you can imagine. It has really made our road a hard one. If you think its bad yet, well it gets worse. Brint had a really close friend who was pretty much like a brother to him, Travis was murdered about a month ago. That was hard... they just caught the person who the police believe murdered him.  She will soon be tried here in AZ. I am sure there will be allot of people there at the trial. I will keep you updated on what her sentencing is. Then yesterday we just found out that another one of Brint's good friends had his little brother try to take his own life and put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. He is now in the Scottsdale hospital in critical condition because he was found and he was still breathing. He is going into surgery again today. Please pray for Dan and his family. 

Seriously we just want a break.... I feel so bad for Brint. He has gone through so much this year along with all those families. Our hearts are so heavy right now. But the good thing about it is that along with all the people involved have really turned to the lord. He is the only one that can get us through this hard time in our lives. Brint and I have been able to grow together and really learn to lean on one another. I couldn't imagine not being married right now... Woo.... well I hope that our year will get better. And something positive will happen soon.
