Family Update

I have become a cooking fiend! Among my favorite & best are: pastrami wrapped asparagus, and homemade sushi.

We've also started to eat more local and organic food. We buy mostly consignment and second-hand, too. Now, I have to say I'm really not concerned about the health effects for me or my family, we're doing it more for the social and environmental impact what we eat and buy has on the world. We compare what we buy with voting. We're telling producers what we would like more of and at a cheaper price when we buy their product thus, what we buy impacts those around us--especially those who have less than we do.
Jim is still free-lancing, but it's actually working out really well. And he's happy at work! Which is a major bonus.
I have been accepted to go back to BYU in January, but we're not sure if we can afford it, but with lots of prayers miracles can happen. I'm hoping to get a BS in neuroscience and maybe go on to get a Masters degree.
Emi and Than love holding hands.


Emi LOVES music! This is her rendition of "Once There Was a Snowman."

And Than is super smart and ridiculously spiritual :)


We are happy as we've been trusting in the Lord and seen miracle after miracle. We've felt like Nephi being asked to build a boat and go to a new land and having no idea how to get there. Other times we feel like Elijah bring fed by blessed birds in the wilderness. We've had so many angels bless our lives and we thank and love each one of you. Know how precious, righteous, loving, and charitable you are to help us in these times of 'refining fire.' We love each of you and thank you all.
