Update

Wow! It has been a long time since I last updated the blog. Drew graduated in December and received a job offer in Houston, Texas. We moved out here in January with the help of Drew's parents and found a nice apartment in Kingwood. I am excited to be back in school after almost 3 months of just sitting around our apartment trying to entertain myself. I recently started a CNA program at Lone Star College-Kingwood and plan on applying to their nursing program this summer.
We love our ward here in Kingwood. We were very excited to find that this ward has a lot of young families. They have been very welcoming. Drew and I also teach the CTR 5 class in primary. We've only taught twice so far but we're enjoying it.
Drew and I are trying to be more active and signed up for a 5k on earth day. Eventually we hope to work our way up to a half marathon. Although I think we have a long way to go! We've enjoyed our time in Houston. So far we've gone to the Houston Zoo, the rodeo, a Rascal Flatts concert, and a Rockets game.

Summer Activities!

We have had a lot of fun this summer in Texas. We've had the opportunity to see a lot of things. Here is some pictures from our summer in Texas.

Astros Baseball Game!

Schlitterbahn. A great water park near San Antonio.

Sea World! This was a dream come true for me. I got to feed dolphins.

Alligators!


Drew and I decided to go to Brazos Bend State Park this weekend. There they are known for the abundance of wildlife especially alligators. The first 3 hours we spent there all we saw where birds. During the last half hour we were surprised to see many alligators. There are not fences around any of the animals. They are free to roam wherever they like...

Here is one with her mouth wide open. She was very aggressive and not happy about something. This is their nesting season and we assumed she had some babies near by...

Drew's Birthday!

Do you want any birthday cake with that whip cream?
Grandma made a wonderful birthday dinner for Drew the night before we left for Houston. This was Drew's only celebration because on his birthday we drove 15 hours to El Paso. We did go out to Olive Garden that night, however when I told our waitress it was Drew's birthday she didn't understand he wanted dessert. They came and sang to us but didn't bring any ice cream. Drew was quite disappointed!

Texas, here we come...



Drew has received an offer for an internship in Houston, Texas this summer. We will be living with a very generous couple for 3 1/2 months. We are so excited to spend our Saturdays at the beach and exploring Texas. Grandma and Grandpa have been so wonderful helping us move these last few days. We appreciate them so much!

Sunday walk...



Drew and I decided we needed a little fresh air after being inside all weekend watching conference. On our walk we found a shopping cart. Drew insisted I took a ride. We also found a swing outside one of the complexes. We are excited for this semester to end and hopefully to move at the end of this month. We hope to finalize plans this week. Wish us luck!

A Little Bit About Us

Drew and I were married August 8, 2008 in the Las Vegas Temple. We now live in Provo, UT. Drew and I both attend Utah Valley University. Drew will graduate this June with a bachelors in Construction Management. We don't know where we are going after that but are excited for the adventure.
