The Beginning

So Eric has finally convinced me to start one of these things. I finally gave in because I enjoy reading others and would like to share our stories more easily. I thought I would give a history of our family for kicks and grins.

Eric grew up in Delta Utah and I spent most of my life in Rigby Idaho. We got together in the Provo MTC on May 23, 2001. While there we decided we had a lot in common and decided to write each other which we did. We started dating as soon as Eric got back in the end of May 2003. After some long distance dating we became engaged the end of Sept to be married December 27, 2003.

We lived in Provo from Jan-Aug 2004 while Eric went to BYU for a civil engineer degree and I substituted while looking an elementary classroom. I had graduated in Dec.

We then moved to Springville where we currently are living and renting from my Aunt Jamie and Uncle Craig (which we are eternally grateful for!). Life continued much as before until the end of July 2007 when we found out we had a dream come true we were expecting! After a mostly uneventful pregnancy we had Miriam Afton join our family on March 23, 2008- Easter.
