Long Overdue Post

Yea, I know. It's been almost a year since our last post. We've just been doing the same ol' thing so thought we wouldn't bore you with it. But, in case you are wondering, this is what we've been up to lately...

We moved in August to Wymount (a BYU family housing complex). We love it here. We have made a lot of friends and everybody is so kind and outgoing. It's nice to have members of your ward live so close to us.

Ryan and I started our last year of college in August. We are currently in our last semester!!! You probably all know, but Ryan will be graduating in April from the Law School and Sarah will be graduating with her undergraduate. We are very excited for this turning point in our life. For those who want to know, we will have the university ceremony on Thursday, April 24. The individual ceremonies will be on Friday April 25. Sarah will be able to "walk" with the Law Students so she and Ryan can be together :) All are invited.

Let's see... Sarah's semester is pretty nice. She's taking some "real" classes and a bunch of fun ones. She's taking badminton, aerobic dance, swimming, a family history class and floral design. Hey-it's my last semester, she needed the credits to keep her job so why not? The PE classes, especially aerobics keep her in good shape.

Ryan doesn't have anything to say about his last semester...

Ryan sent in the forms to take the Bar in Texas. So unless something huge happens, Houston here we come. Hopefully we'll find a job before we get there...We are excited about the move though. A new journey, or adventure as Sarah's parents say. We have some awesome friends there who we are excited to see again. Last summer we lived with Nick and Alissa McClure while in Houston, and I was able to visit my childhood friend Lesley Larson not too far from Houston. Lesley joked about us moving there, who knew that we would! She tells us she's going to save us a house on their street so we can be neighbors. We'll see what happens... Ryan is definitely excited to be close to his "brother from another mother" Nick.

So, if anybody knows someone in Houston who is a lawyer or knows a lawyer - please please please let us know.

Um, I can't think of anything else. It's very very cold here. It snows at least twice a week, but feels like it snows twice a day! Today was the first real nice day that we've had. I would like more of those. (and by nice I mean it might have got in the high 20's woohoo!)

Alright, I'll try to post more often, but might be more like once a month. Take care. We love you all!

What's New With Us?

Hey Everybody~
So...what's new. Ryan and I just finished the semester. (woohoo!)We are in the process of packing up for our big move....to Houston! Ya, we're heading out to Hou
ston May 1st. Ryan working with an insurance company out there for the first half of summer. I have applied for a job at Archivers, a scrapbooking store in Houston. While in Houston we're staying with our dear friends Nick and Alissa. Ryan and I are so excited to see them! (I think Ryan is going through Nick withdrawls). Some of our other friends are also moving to Houston (Lesley and Scott, Tim and Julia, Dave and Merideth...) We're excited to be around our friends.



So after Houston, we're heading back to Cali! (YAY) Ryan is set up to work at the same company that he is working with in Texas, but in Walnut Creek! We are also very excited to go back home and live in a place that doesn't snow, and that isn't humid. I'm still looking for a job while I'm there (Ryan's mom is on the hunt) but if any of you have ideas, please let me know. We will be staying in Fremont with Ryan's parents this summer, but I hope to be able to travel and visit a lot of the family this summer. (If there are family gatherings - please let me know, I want to come!)


So...We're driving from Provo to Houston next week. Then on May 8th we're flying to Virginia. We get to visit my best friend!!!! I'm so excited. Matt and Rose are living there, Matt going to Virginia Tech and the most exciting part - little Dimitry was born in January. We're going to go play with them for a week and a half. I can't wait.



Ryan only has one year left of Law School! We are very excited to celebrate. I will be done either in December of this year or April of 08. I'll keep you posted.







Yay! My childhood and dearest friend Lesley had little Ian on April 10 (my mom's birthday too!). I was able to go over to their house and hold Ian yesterday. He is such a good baby and has such wonderful parents-Lesley and Scott. I hope we'll all be able to play in Houston!!
