    Living the Good Life

    Sarah had a “Missionary Minded Brunch” for some ladies in the ward this week. It ended up being a bit crazy because people were late and one of the other ward missionaries is starting to move out of her house and so her time is crazy. The brunch went well, all things considered, but Sarah […]

    Learning and Growing

    This has been a bit week of growth for our family. Actually, this growth has been coming on for a while but we actually documented some of it this week in photo form and wanted to share it with you. Eliza is getting better and better at feeding herself. She can use a spoon pretty […]

  • Happy 3 Months James

    Happy 3 Months James

    We were showing off our parenting at church today via splotches of food on our shirts and other less savory things on our pants/skirts. Yeah, it was that kind of day. I think we need to burn some of our clothes and start again. Eliza had a leak during sacrament and Sarah took the brunt […]

    Eating, the park, partying

    We had an awesome week this week. There were a few highlights as you’ll see in the pictures. As far as normal life goes it was a pretty standard week. I worked every day, had scouts on Wednesday and was just a normal person. It’s kind of nice when that happens. Sarah was with the […]

  • Surviving…

    Surviving…

    That’s kind of what I feel like we’ve (at least I’ve) been doing this week. Work has been ramping up again as we’re starting to work hard to get our next product release scoped out and try to figure out what’s going on. We have a lot of new groups coming on to the product […]

  • Utah visit (from Sarah’s point of view)

    Utah visit (from Sarah’s point of view)

    In September, Adam and I took a quick trip home to do some recruiting for Adam’s work at our alma mater. (I even got to go as the wife recruiter to convince all the wives that Austin is the place to be.) The BYU Engineering Career Fair was two days long (plus one day of […]

  • Gratitude

    I’ve been thinking a lot lately about our life and how awesome it really is. I hope you’ll forgive me for just writing some of my feelings publicly. I’m sometimes not very good at showing how grateful I am to the Lord for my blessings. I really have so many blessings that I’m sure that I […]

  • Exercising Our “Green Thumb”

    Exercising Our “Green Thumb”

    I’ve been told that one of my ancestors was the gardener for the King of Norway. I have absolutely no idea if this is actually true, but there must have been someone in my family who at least enjoyed working with dirt because I’ve always loved gardening and working with plants. Even my high school science fair […]

  • Life Just Got Cleaner

    Tuesday was a great day. We have a washer and dryer! Hooray! (I really like doing laundry, actually, so this is a cause for celebration.) We actually got our washer and dryer delivered last week, but because of some sort of mix-up, Sears delivered a silver washer and a white dryer. We wanted our appliances to […]

  • Our Last Weekend in Utah

    Our Last Weekend in Utah

    Here’s a little breakdown of what we did during our last weekend in Utah: Thursday Finished packing up things we needed to bring with us to Austin. Watched the packers pack all of our things. Ate Del Taco for lunch. Went to Adam’s eye appointment. Both got our hair cut by our friend, Nicole. Went […]
