Life Has its Ups and Downs...

To say the past year has been eventful is an understatement...

Kevin and I got married...

I graduated with my Bachelor's degree...

I moved to Southern Utah...

I brought my teenage children to Utah thinking they would adjust to the move smoothly...(wrong)...

I started a fantastic new job....

Kevin's kids moved to Northern Utah....

My kids moved back to Southern California...

Kevin took a job promotion to Lindon, Utah...

I quit my fantastic job to move with him...and moved in with my parents (sorry Mom we'll be out soon)... 

We enjoyed Thanksgiving with all seven kids...

We survived Christmas with all seven kids...(thank you to all who helped make this happen)...

Started a new job (not so fantastic) waiting tables...(looking for another fantastic job)...

Reading between the lines you can see that we have had a very long year...We are truly grateful to have each other. We miss our children desperately and hope everything will work itself out so that everyone is healthy and happy. Here are some recent photos... enjoy!

This picture was taken in September... Liz (10), Kyler (7), Kevin (Younger than me...), Aiden (6 months), Eli (3).
