Moved in

Despite the end, I had success down in Saint George. We loved the weather, our classes were fun, and though i didn't play as much as i would have hoped, i was glad for the experience to play NCAA soccer. I held the school record for the most saves in one game, and the highest save percentage. I held a nationally ranked team to one goal, and for our last home game of the season I had a shutout and gave the team a win in double overtime. Because of multiple players breaking multiple rules, our spring season was cancelled and after hearing that my coach didn't care about my performance, we decided to move back to Happy Valley. From that decision to being moved into a new place was less than ten days. The reason for the quick move was so that we could get started in our classes at UVU. Its great being back in Utah Valley. We didn't quite make it to Provo, but Springville is close enough! The only thing we miss is our cousins down south and the great snow-free weather. But not having a four hour commute to the nearest immediate family member is worth the cold. We moved into a two bedroom duplex with a garage and our own washer and dryer! (we had to go to a laundry mat in st George. I'm glad we don't have to save quarters any more, that adds up, like nearly 8 dollars in quarters every time we had to do laundry)

Alexa has been busy going to school. At Dixie she was going full time! A tough thing to do with a 9 week old at the start of the semester, not to mention a husband who was also in school full time and on the soccer team. She made it through, but decided just to go part time this semester so she could spend more time with Landon in the latter half of his first year. She has a year and a half to 2 years left of school, as do I. I wish we could say we'd be done after that, but we both plan to go on to get our masters degree. What can I say... we love school...yeah...that's it. Other than school, she has been enjoying being a mother, and has recently taken up sewing. She sewed 2 blessing dresses in 1 week over the Christmas break! She is looking forward to trying a quilt soon.

Landon is growing every day. Each day he has a new surprise for his parents, and I can just stare and smile at my son for hours. Though he scoots more than crawls, he is very mobile. He goes everywhere around the house. Not only does he move everywhere, he loves to climb up on things (and his parents) He says "da da da da," although whether he is talking to me is hard to tell right now. At 7 months, he looks to be over a year old! He is so tall!! He's starting to move into 18 month clothes! He brightens our day and makes the world a happier place for us :)

I love my family so much, no matter what kind of curve balls life throws, i know i have my family to bring a smile to my face. With my wife who continues to become more beautiful each day and a son who i can't stop smiling at, life is great!
