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.

Christmas 2010

The first year Sam and I were married we spent Christmas with just the two of us. We had only been married a little over a month, and it just seemed to make sense to not travel again so soon, and we wanted to have our first Christmas holiday as a new little family. Well, we never made that mistake again! We were  bored and lonely without having more people around! Both of us are used to having larger Christmases. So we have made sure that we make it out to Colorado Springs each Christmas since that first one to spend time with Sam's awesome family.

This year we continued with that tradition. First, we had our annual "Not Getting Enough Sleep and Then Driving Out to Colorado for 12 Hours Trip." The trip took 13 hours because we had little Josie with us and  so bathroom breaks take a little longer. We've been married long enough and experienced this road trip enough that we don't get grumpy with each other as much as we used to spending all day in a car together!
