Here is a very quick review of what we've been up to the past few years. On January 17, 2004 Alicia and I were married and 366 days later, 0n January 18, 2005 were sealed in the Salt Lake temple. Life has pretty much been a blur since then, we bought a condo in Lehi which we lived in for two years with our two pugs, lucky and princess, before selling up and buying a house in Payson, where we've been ever since. Life has mainly been filled with work and day-to-day events, but here are a few of the fun stand-out moments to date:
On May 23, 2006 Alicia gave birth to our beautiful daughter, Madison Acacia (5lbs 15oz). Madi has been a great addition to our family. Being a parent is very hard work, but it sure has its rewards. Seeing Madi grow and develop her very entertaining personality is a great source of joy. Alicia thinks that she will grow up to love the outdoors. It is already apparent that she loves animals. To date, Madison is approaching her second birthday and is a mumbling ball of energy. She's learning her numbers and letters and is well on her way to being potty trained! She loves to say her prayers and is making the trasition (us too) to nursery.
In May of 2005, we were able to take a cruise to Mexico with Ruth and Grant, and Aaron and Kristi compliments of a christmas present from Mom and Dad. It was Alicia's first time out of the country and was so much fun! We got to relax on a private beach and snorkel in Puerto Vallarta, tour the city of Mazatlan with our own personal tour guide, and shop the markets of Cabo San Lucas. Not to metion all-you-can-eat on the ship (one of my personal favorites)!
In August 2007, Madison took her very first trip to the beach. It was actually Bear Lake, but it works! She had a great time, she loved playing in the sand and crawling in the water. It was a lot of fun for us to hang out with the family and enjoy a day at the beach! The very next day, however, we unloaded madi on Mom and Dad, and Alicia and I ran for Las Vegas for the weekend. We saw the shark reef exibit at the mandalay bay, went to the top of the stratosphere, and lounged by the pool. It was nice to get away.
And that quickly brings us to our present day. Life is still a blur...I'm forging my way through school and am working towards getting an MBA. I'm still working at Provo Canyon School as the Nightwatch Supervisor, Alicia is the vault teller at Utah Community Credit union.
