Shhh! Don't tell Caitlin.

I thought this would be a wonderful surprise for Caitlin--I am posting first on our blog! Well, we are stuck here in Provo at school. We are both trying to finish our degrees--her BA in MFHD with a minor in gerontology and my MS in Sociology emphasizing in educational policy. We have had the most wonderfully busy semester this fall, which has kept us from blogging, emailing, calling, writing or really communicating with anyone outside of ourselves, sorry. We are really going to try and be better, which is why I decided to blog today. As many of you may not know, Caitlin had the best week of her life last week because it was her birthday and I tried to start a family tradition (which she later vetoed, but that's besides the point). Everyday last week I tried to surprise her with something small so that I could help build up some anticipation about her upcoming 21st birthday. It was one of the best weeks of my entire semester and life because I learned a lot about how little I have to do to make her surprised but how lucky I am to be married to her. We have been trying to focus on doing little things each day to bring joy and love into the lives of those around us, and I decided I needed to start at home and move out from there. So Since I already started at home, I just wanted to start expressing our love to those that help and support us by initiating our blog. Thanks for everything you all have done in helping make us who we are and supporting us in all we do. We love you all and loook forward to letting you all stay up-to-date with what we are hoping, planning, and striving to accomplish as a family.
