True Cougars!





Kier and I hiked "Y" mountain last Saturday. It was so beautiful with all the fall leaves. I took some pictures just for my mom's sake (she loves fall colors). It took us a little over an hour to make it up the hill and a whole ten minutes to get down. While we were enjoying the view from the top there was a little kid that starting running down the hill and fell off a little ledge. I felt so sorry for him, he walked away with no scratches but I'm sure he got some nice bruises to show for it.

It was just so nice to do something outdoors together while we still can. Its starting to get cold, I heard we're supposed to have snow by next Tuesday! NO!!! Why can't Utah have a longer fall season? I love walking around campus and seeing all the perfect purple leaves lying on the ground, and all the acorns with their funny looking tops. Hopefully we still have a few more days to play before the snow consumes us all!

Kieran, My Love



I just LOVE my sweet husband so much! The past week has been a difficult one. Kier was laid off from his job that he has had for almost a year. It has been both frustrating and emotionally trying . We're slowly working through it together and he has a job interview Monday morning. I'm so proud of his determination to go out and search for something that can support us. It's really hard, and definently not fun, to have to sit through interviews and applications! But he has been doing it and we are optimistic for the future. I truly believe this trial will turn out to be a blessing and we will find great happiness with the outcome. I love Kieran and I'm so greatful to be his wife. I love the life we have started together. The past 8 months have been so wonderful! (It will be 8 tomorrow, time goes by so quickly) Just wanted everyone to know how in love I am and how grateful I am for Kieran and for the Lord's hand in our lives!
