Last Trip Before The Job!

We had so much fun in Utah! Dylan learned to swim on his own (with help from his floaty), we went to the zoo and on the Alpine slide, and we loved just playing with the cousins (and the dogs of course, Skeeter and Roudy).

Ashlyn's room

This is a picture of Ashlyn's room. Jenny, does the rug look familiar? Thanks for the great addition to our new home.

This is the one bathroom is the house, but it works great.

Here is our new house in Cleveland

Hey Everyone!

We are enjoying our new house and job in Cleveland. We live in a town called Wickliffe, about 5 minutes from Cami and Nate in Euclid. My commute to work is about 23 minutes every morning. We are in the same ward, a newly created ward called the Euclid Ward. I was just called as Cub Den Leader in our ward, so I'll work with the 8 to 10 year olds including Luke! Dylan loves his new room and so does Ashlyn (I wasn't able to get a picture of her room because she was asleep when I took them, but I'll post one later). The yard is great, both front and back. It's fun to have the golf course right there behind us as you can see in the pictures. Work is going well. They gotten me involve in a bunch of projects, some are small, some are much bigger. I like the people I work with and the environment at work is great. I'm still learning to navigate such a big company, but it is coming along. I've got 2 weeks under my belt.

We have good neighbors on both sides. One is a woman who's husband is in Iraq, but will be home this fall. She has two children, 4 and 2, Leah and Dominique. Dylan loves playing with Leah and Ashlyn loves the dog they have that she can see through the fence. Well, check out the pictures below, we'll post some more too.

Ashlyn

This is a great picture of Ashlyn. This was also in the Public Garden last fall.

Dylan

This is Dylan at the Boston Public Garden. It was taken last fall.

Graduate

This is graduation day at Boston University on May 20th. This is Curtis and Carlos, 2 friends in my class. Curtis and I became good friends during the program. We played a lot of ping pong and our families hung out (he has a wife and daughter who played with Dylan a lot). It's hard to believe the MBA is all over.

This is at the Cambridge 2nd Ward Halloween party. Dylan occasionally will correct us when we call him Dylan saying, "I'm Dash, not Dylan!"

Entering Blog World

This is our first blog. We thought since Joel and Kadi were doing it we might as well too. We are excited to share our lives with you all. We are excited about finishing our year in Boston. It has been a fun adventure and we have made some great friends. We are also ready to be done with the city life. We have decided never to live in this kind of neighborhood again, no matter what. We are kind of sick of Dylan and Ashlyn having a parking lot as a playground. There are parks close by, but we are excited for our new house in Cleveland with a yard, playground, and access to a golf course. Plus it's on a nice street and great neighborhood. We will post pictures when we get there. This is my last week of my MBA program! By Wednesday night I will have my MBA in the bag! Then next week it's off to Cleveland for some training. Then the next week all our stuff gets packed up to be sent to Cleveland, while we come to Utah to see everyone! Below are some pictures of our time here in Boston. Halloween - we dressed up as the Incredibles, Dylan was Dash, I was Mr. Incredible, Michal was Elasta Girl, and Ashlyn was Violet. There is also my graduation picture with some friends in my class.
