Our Life Together

Rexburg, ID, United States
We've been married for 5 years! We met here in Rexburg, Idaho where we lived in the same apartment complex, volunteered with similar church callings, and attended the same university. It was only a matter of time before we'd bump into each other! Kelly graduated with her bachelors in psychology and has since been working with mentally ill adults and children. She has been accepted to Drexel Univeristy for her Masters in Higher Education Administration and Organizational Management. Sam recently graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho with his bachelors in English Literature. We've had so much fun and so many growing experiences in the past 5 years, and have weathered so much good and bad during our young marriage. And we love each other so much more as a result of the happy and sad experiences that we have gone through hand in hand with each other and with the Savior. Our life is a simple one, but it's ours and we're glad to have it.

Happy Birthday Evan!

Uncle Sam and I want to wish you such a wonderful birthday today! It is such an extra special birthday too because you are receiving the Aaronic Priesthood! Evan, this is such an amazing time for you and you are a wonderful young man. Heavenly Father and Christ are giving you the priesthood, just as they gave to worthy men before you. You will now have power and authority from God to bless other people. You will be able to lead, love, and bless people in a very special way now. People like your mom and dad, sister and brother, your future wife and your own children. As well as many, many other people. And as you serve others you will find that your own life is filled with great happiness.

We love you!
