Welcome

Welcome to our blog, only took me 6 months to post my first message. I hope you will all enjoy the insight into our life and get to know us a bit better. So for those who know us more than others this will be a little of a refresher course into our short history . . . Brett and I have known each other for ten years this year. Boy how the time flies. We met his first semester Freshman year at Ricks. We were in an FHE Family and started as tennis buddies, but grew to best friends within months. It was so crazy how everything in our past, present and future just clicked. We went to school for a year and a half together before going on our missions. Brett went to Montevideo, Uruguay and I went to Buenos Aires, Argentina. I left about 6 months after Brett, so we were basically gone at the same time. Just a rio apart. We both had such great experiences and if you can believe it grew closer together by having the opportunity to serve our Father in Heaven juntos. I actually had to come home from my mission a couple of months early for emergency knee surgery, but got married just months after Brett returned from his mission. When you know you know. But by that time, we had been dating for five years. We were married for eternity on the 14th day of September, 2002. It will be six years this September. Gosh, I can't believe how fast the time goes. But then again I feel like we have been together for an eternity. Well, moving on, there was school and work and more school and more work . . . Brett got a Bachelors Degree in Latin American Studies from the University of Washington and I got an Associates Degree in Elementary Education from Ricks and an Associates of Technical Arts in Paralegal Studies. I have been working as a Paralegal with an emphasis in Real Estate Law for the past six years. Just last month I made a change to Employment Law for less of a commute and a change of pace. I love my attorney and we get along so well! Brett and I have been beautifying houses since he graduated in the summer of 2005. We worked full time and flipped houses by night for a couple of years, but when we saw that there was enough money for Brett to quit and do it full time we took the plunge. He did it full time for about a year until last July we formally established our business and brought my brother-in-law in to join us. Amazingly enough, we have stayed busy for the whole year off of referrals alone. It is either feast or famine in this business, but we love it, and it is so rewarding seeing such spectacular transformations. That should catch you up on the last six years, but I hope you will stay posted to find out what happens next.
