We started dating right after high school graduation. We had an awesome summer of dating, waterskiing, and working. I was the store manager at the old Craigo's, and Ellen started school at BYU-Idaho. In February 2006, I left for a mission to Boston, Massachusetts (same mission as Jason Andrus, good times!) Ellen started working at Rexburg City Hall during her junior year, while going to school year round. When I got back from Boston, I worked for Craigo's again, and commuted down to Pocatello and back everyday to help get their new store up and running. A few months later, in July 2008, Ellen graduated with her degree in Political Science, with a minor in Sociology.
In August, we got married, went on a honeymoon to Portland and the Oregon coast, and moved to Boise. I started school at Boise State, majoring in Economics, with minors in Applied Math and Political Science. Last semester, Ellen decided to go back to school for a Paralegal certificate and a second bachelor's degree in Sociology. She's just got one or two semesters left, and I've got three more. I just started work as a tax preparer, which should keep me plenty busy until April.
We're enjoying living in Boise, although we rarely get to see any of our old friends from Rexburg anymore. Everytime we come back for a visit, we're surprised how much colder and snowier it is in Rexburg! The weather's nice and mild here. We enjoy taking day trips to see the sights around this side of the state, and this last year we've seen quite a few ghost towns, national parks, and wild animals.
Our family blog is set to private, but we're happy to invite any of you who are interested in seeing a little more of what we've been up to.
