Happy Anniversary

Today is our 6th wedding anniversary. We were married in the Logan LDS Temple and had a beautiful rustic reception in a log cabin in Smithfield Canyon. A big thanks to friends and family who have helped us keep it together this far. It's been rough, but we're making it. Now here we are, our 10th address in 6 years (14th for Brian, at least), we have a beautiful 4 year-old daughter, Kylie AnnaMarie (pictures coming soon), and a kitten named Sallie. It's been very different than we ever imagined. I had no idea Brian would be a helicopter pilot when I married him! I'm learning better each year to trust the Lord and His plan. It's so important to keep the Savior as the center of your relationship. Hopefully each year is better than the last!

Welcome to Cajun Country!

I'm attempting to create a blog to keep friends and family updated on our crazy life. I'll try to figure out our new digital camera and add pictures of Kylie. Check in every now and then to see what we're up to.

We're getting settled into our new apartment in Houma, Louisiana. Kylie is so happy to have her daddy home at night! They play lions and sing the Beer Run song and watch Batman. I'm trying to find a place for all of our stuff. Then I hope that foot zoning will spread like wildfire. In the meantime I'm enjoying being home and making friends. The second Sunday they had me playing the organ in church. (They'll never do that again!) And I'm excited to figure out how to plug our computer into our new flat screen tv to watch General Conference at home in our 'jammies.

The above picture shows the only pretty spot in this whole town--my apartment. I'm so glad I live here. It's my oasis. Everything is so run down and dirty. The air smells like water that's been sitting for too long. We are not far from the Intercoastal Waterway and its drawbridge. I do like hearing the boat horns as they're coming through. Kylie ate her first crawfish at the church potluck lunch. She didn't spit it out, and she didn't ask for another one. She was really upset with me that I pulled its tail off, peeled off the shell, and took off the head. She said it was going to be very upset with me. Then she ate the tail. One thing I've had to get use to is that everything moves in slow motion. No one's in a hurry to get much done. I suppose that's how they survive the heat. The people are very nice and will say hello like they've known you forever. We're getting it all figured out and having a great time!
