The New World of BLOG



It must be a married thing, but we figured this is the best way to stay in touch with everyone - both married and single alike - as we enter into the new realm of eternal bliss. The first few weeks have been great and we especially love the idea of saying "goodnight" rather than "goodbye." A quick shout out to all of our family and friends who did so much to help us with the wedding. Even though six weeks was pretty quick to get everything done, we both agree that anything longer was too long to wait.

So here is an update for those we haven't talked to for a while - and a little review for those who know. Brett is working at Tooele Federal Credit Union as the marketing manager and really enjoys it. He also referees high school wrestling and volunteers as a board member at the South Jordan Chamber of Commerce which keeps the schedule pretty full. Dyana made the 40 mile move north to the new IHC hospital on State Street and 5400 South. She is still working on the orthopedics and neurology floor and usually the charge nurse, too. Being still understaffed she is working like a mad woman and puts in a lot of extra hours. The crazy shifts at the new hospital has made the occasional shifts picked up down in Provo a breeze. Dy also has worked like crazy at the new apartment getting things in order.

After spending plenty of time on the east side in Holladay, we thought we would make the 54 block trek westward to West Valley. Our humble abode is the basement apartment of a newer home just off of Bangerter Highway and 4700 South. The family we live with are great and the kids absolutely love us...especially Dy. Since we are still getting settled in, there are no intentions of moving anytime soon. A great deal on a house could persuade us otherwise, though.

We are so excited to have entered into this great world of marriage and look forward to the challenges and joy that await us. This blog stuff is kind of exciting, too. It will be fun to keep in touch with those we don't see as often - and also communicate with those we do. Thanks again for all of your support in helping us get to this wonderful stage in life.

We look forward to many blogs in the future.

Yay!!! A new blog to help occupy my "down time" at work. . . okay I never have any down time-I'm always crazy busy but I need breaks every so often to keep my mental juices flowing. Now Brett you promised that you'd update this often...I'm holding you to it!
