Patcy 7 Months Old!!!

Thank you to Jessica Keizer for requesting pics
and motivating me to get this blog up and running!








Our BiG MOVE!!!

Our Family Life has completely changed in the past couple of months. In April we went to Utah to visit the Daniels family and have our baby girl, Patcy, blessed. While visiting, a discussion came up for Rick to go to school to get his Engineering degree. Not only that, but Brenda's parents invited them to live in their basement while Rick goes to school. At first we didn't think much of it, but as Rick started pondering the idea, researching the engineering program, visiting the school, etc., it became a very plausible idea.

Well, that idea turned into a reality! And now we are in UTAH!!! We moved here (Perry, UT) on Aug 1, 2008 and Rick started school Aug 25th. Not only is Rick able to attend school, but Brenda was able transfer to be a remote employee, enabling her to work from her parents basement! What a HUGE blessing!!!

We truly feel blessed for how our lives have been led by the Lord's hand. We feel and acknowledge our Heavenly Father for ALL that we have.

The only negative thing to living here in Utah (besides missing the wonderful California weather) is being away from Rick's family. Rick has never been far away from his home in Hayward California and his family is not used to him being away. Not only that, we took their ONLY grandbaby away!! They were an intrigal part of our life while living there in California and we miss them VERY much!! But we do plan on visiting them quite often - so hopefully they'll see us and Patcy enough to forgive us for moving away! :-)
