As college football coaches, due to our new annual college football schedule, there aren’t consecutive “Days Off” like we used to have in the past, thus the reason I’m taking advantage of these next few days off — starting today. Context: this is the first time the Atuaia family has been together as one unit since 2020 Covid Christmas. We got up this morning (11am😂) to ready ourselves for a FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT that hasn’t happened since 2017 due to 3 LDS missions, 3 job changes, 3 moves to 3 different states, and mostly the multiple excuses I’ve given NOT to be available for this event. After the Photoshoot, our kids wanted to go to Savage Fish in Millcreek for Pokē. My kids know a little about it, but we (Liz and I) have a Christmas story concerning the owners of Savage Fish. 16 years to the day, we were at BYU struggling financially as I was a full time graduate student and Liz a stay-at-home Mom with our 6 young kids to look after. Literally, every penny went to pay for our daily survival. On this day (23rd) these angels on earth came to our 2 bed/1 bath Wymount Terrace apartment to save Christmas for 6 little kids and 2 thankful parents. Today, as I watched each of my kids order their pokē bowl, the same who were blessed by the owners of Savage Fish years ago, I tugged at Liz’s sweater to reminder her of that day. She smiled and simply said “Tender mercies.” Right now, I’m typing this and drinking my kava while listening to all 7 of my kids, led by the oldest child in our family, putting together over a hundred “GIFT PACKAGES” to personally handout to less fortunate folks outside homeless shelters, multiple public parks, and other areas frequented by this demographic in Salt Lake City area. My kids, not prompted by me in anyway, have done this everywhere we’ve lived in the past: Charlottesville Virginia, Pullman Washington, and now Salt Lake City, Utah. We have been the beneficiaries of other people’s kindness all our lives (including recently with a stranger saving my wife’s life—a stranger we have not found yet), paying it forward is simply just the right thing to do. If we have any juice left tonight, we’ll likely do our annual Christmas Song for the online masses. Or, we’ll just mixx as a family and enjoy laughing like crazy. Either way, it’s been an awesome day.

Unfortunately for the Atuaia family, we’ve been down this road before. Coach Scalley acted fast thus our family’s collective gratitude all weekend long. After church we all knocked out and now we can’t sleep…this is the end result😂 Just so there are no disputations #GoUtes

4 years ago my Dad passed away. When recruiting Oahu I do two things — well 3: I never stay at a hotel (I sleep on my Mom’s couch); I eat waaaaay too much of her cooking; and my last visit is always my Pops. Hold and cherish your loved ones while you still can #GoUtes

Since Nov, I’ve had a few job offers; history shows Pullman as transient. I also know the battles we face with the “new normal” in CF HOWEVER Jake Dickert wholeheartedly believes in #FamilyOverFlash thus, #FREESTYLEFRIDAY displays our family’s feelings exactly #AtuaiaDUMDUMS

Today Coach Whittingham, McBride, and I had the honor of representing the University of Utah at the Polynesian Football induction ceremony this morning for one of our own: Chris Kemoeatu. After the ceremony, which was held at the Polynesian Cultural Center, I had a special moment watching my son work. I’ve only heard of his exploits from others so watching him today was a treat. He’s a student at BYU-Hawaii and performs daily in the Tongan Village. He was the Master of the Drums (Nafa) today. The logistics of my job usually limits opportunities for me to be with my kids, but today was a cherished exception! Here was part of his show #GoUtes
