NEWS

Okay everyone, we're still here. It's been kinda busy the last few weeks.... but before I get into anything else, I at least wanted to get this one piece of news out to everyone:

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!!
That's right; Ryan and I are going to have a baby!! Yay!!! We're so happy.
Right now I'm about two months along, so the baby should be born some time in April...
Anyway, I just thought I'd let everyone know the happy news.

YAY FOR US!!!!
Talk to ya later.

Love, Kayla

Our Latest Adventure :)

Hey from Ryan

Hey Everybody! It’s me, Ryan, writing this time. I just wanted to say hi to everyone and give an update. Life is good for us here in North Carolina. Of course, we miss all of you but we are doing well and are happy. I am still looking for employment…it has been a bit of a trial, but I feel like we are making progress. I have had some interviews and am still getting contacted by recruiters; now if we could just hypnotize them to say yes. J In the meantime, however, we’ve been blessed with a number of odd jobs that have given us a boost (painting, yard work, house sitting, dog sitting). And Kayla is so wonderful, she is just so supportive and full of faith.
We have been able to have some fun, like Saturday for example when some simple gardening turned into a hose fight! Kayla wants me to tell y’all how it started. Well let’s see. The way I remember it, Kayla was outside tending to the watermelons. Being a good husband, I said “Here Kayla, here is a glass of ice cold spring mineral water. Would you like to drink it while I shade you with this umbrella and give you a massage? If you’d like I can fetch you some chocolate, too.” “Thank you,” she said with a devious smile. “Well, I’m off to do the laundry and fix dinner,” I said. “Bang this gong if you need me.” As I was walking away she tripped me from behind and SPLASH, she soaked me through with the very water I had given her. Ok, maybe it didn’t really happen like that. Maybe I actually decided to sneak attack Kayla when she was trying to weed the garden. But hey, I was still a gentleman, I let her have the bigger hose. (Ok, so maybe I only gave that to her after I had thoroughly soaked her) Anyway, we love each other and have fun together, and we love all of you and hope that y’all are doing well.

(It's kinda hard to tell, but we're soaked!)

North Carolina

We're still here, I promise! However, "here" is now in Colfax, North Carolina! (by Greensboro.) We are doing well. Ryan is still looking for a job and I'm enjoying helping Natalie out around the house. (and watching movies on their big-screen T.V. with the Clearplay) :)

Natalie and Larry have been kind enough to let us stay here at their home for as long as we need until Ryan finds a job....

It's been really neat to spend some more time here with Ryan's family.

So guess what! Catherine, Ryan's little sister, is now engaged!! His name is Jared Holt, and they met at BYU. Good luck to you both! We love you!

P.S. I gave Ryan an amazing hair cut this last week. :)

We love you all!!

Here we go!

Well, tonight is our last night here in Monticello- tomorrow morning Dad, Mom, Ryan, and I are headed east! (Mom and Dad will fly back to Utah next week). So ya, here we go.
Wish us luck!
We'll see y'all in North Carolina soon!

On our way!

Hello everyone! Here is our update:
Ryan and I are now in Monticello. We successfully moved out of our apartment in Rexburg on the 3rd.
Dad's finished with tax season- he finished yesterday. Yay!!
We're having fun here, it's great to be home, and we are just enjoying being with Mom and Dad. We love them so much.
