Trying Things Out

Well I've decided to give this whole family web page thing a whirl. I'll admit when i first heard about this I thought it was pretty dorky, but since we are starting to spread out more and more I thought it might be a good idea. Plus Alando told me today he has a blog so I figured it was time to step up to the plate...

Here's some quick info about the last nine months or so for us! We got married on May 19, 2007 and had a beautiful, delightful reception thanks to our wonderful families on May 28, 2007. Thanks to everyone for making that day possible, it has been the happiest of our lives!

We headed back up to Utah in June and tried to settle in (read fit) into our new little house. Okay well it's not exactly new...circa 1930's stove and a spot for the milkman to drop off the milk...but it was new to us! We both worked over the summer and took classes at BYU. Some highlights of the season included a smashing Fourth-of-July party, a camping trip with our ward, some epic bike rides (25 miles) for Dean and plenty of trips to the nearest park!

The beginning of Fall brought more school
for us and we both started different jobs. I quit the bakery to work at an elementary school in the after-school program and Dean TA's for classes at BYU and teaches the BYU hockey class. Last semester kept us pretty busy but we did enjoy a quick getaway to San Diego for Thanksgiving and a trip back to Tucson for Christmas. (We still managed to find a little Christmas tree for our own house though as you can see!)

I had a birthday in January and we are both back in school and working. It is very snowy up here but we are having a good time between all that pesky studying! :) Recently we has a fondue party with some of our friends and it was really fun so we are planning another soirée sometime soon! We've been following the Obama campaign closely and Taylor has been making phone calls to remind people to get out and vote! She and Diana also went up to Salt Lake to canvas for Barack and that was a fun (but cold) opportunity. We are keeping our fingers crossed and doing what we can to spread the good word! :)

That's all the news for now, but we hope everyone else is doing well and staying warm!
