Time to Stop


First of all, we are not pregnant, so don't ask!

Many of you know that Justin and I have been trying to have a child. However, with many complications left from the synthetic hormones, we have not been successful. Months after trying with no success, and the impending doom of no insurance and many job searches, we have decided to stop. It was a hard decision, but with so much unclear in our future, it is important for us to do what is the most logical. We feel that the Lord knows what is going to happen and he will support us in our decision for now.

Thank you all for your concern over us for the time being.

Time is Running Out!


With the end of the semester drawing to a close, tempers are hotter and stress is laid on thicker. You would think that after 2 years of college we would be used to it already! Wrong.... It seems like there is a new challenge around every corner.

We are excited to be moving and packing is just over the horizon, boxes are lining up, and the worry about how we will find jobs is starting to get frustrating. Every night is packed with final activities with family members, friends, and final places to visit.

We are doing great though! We are pushing through and with two weeks left in the semester we should survive and pass with semi-flying colors!

We know we are in the right place and we are moving where the Lord wants us. Wish us luck on surviving the next couple of weeks!

Introducing Suki!

About seven months ago, we adopted a beautiful, little, short-haired kitten from a family in West Jordan. We decided to name her Suki and she took to it well! Now she is nine months old and a long-haired, maned, ball of fire!
A little bit about Suki:
  • She loves plants!
    • When Suki was about four months old, I moved a plant down to get some sunlight. Before I knew it, she had taken all of the leaves off that poor defenseless plant! With a new plant in its place, she finds all sorts of ways to get to it.
  • She loves to run!
    • As you can tell by that look in her eyes, she is a trouble-maker (just like her dad!) Any chance she gets, she's running across a project or distributing homework from one wall to the other.
  • She loves to jump!
    • Suki hasn't quite learned how to jump onto the counter (thank goodness) but anytime she gets the chance she jumps from bed to couch to cat condo to bedside table.
  • She has an attitude!
    • When Suki knows what she wants, she lets you know it too (she learned that from me, can't decide if its good or bad)
  • She loves to cuddle... Under the covers!
    • Almost every night I find Suki cuddled up next to my side. She is the first cat I've had that likes to be under the covers.
  • She plays fetch!
    • Yes... Our cat knows how to fetch. She will fetch anything from Jolly Ranchers to Erasers. She taught herself and its one way she gets our attention.
  • Last but not least... We think she's part raccoon and lion!
    • Suki has a mane, and a very fluffy tail! She also has cute gray ear hairs that stick out further than her long whiskers.
We love Suki and we hope that you will too!
