I have decided to document the coming arrival of our seventh child using this blog, with the hopes that all of my children will be able to read it in the coming years. We are a family that has traveled most of the United States and really love this country.
The journey begins in a small town in Idaho where I was attending college at Idaho State University. I had just returned from a two year mission in Maceio Brazil for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; 21 and interested in dating more than school. I am the youngest of four children and my parents were a great example to me throughout my life; even though there were many things that would make them say hmm. They were understanding and worked through my bone headed actions of a teenager.
My older siblings had all married and started families and that is something that I knew I wanted as well. The nice thing about Pocatello is there were plenty of good looking and kind young ladies that shared my same beliefs. They had to be kind since my personality comes across as cocky and conceited, but as my wife and friends have come to know I am just very confident.
My search began in the classes of the LDS institute building. The building was a newish and had been built to allow students and individuals from the community to attend gospel classes. I had enrolled in more institute classes than degree classes knowing that I would have a better chance of finding my future wife in one of those classes. I have also really enjoyed gospel classes and had a desire to become a religious instructor for the churches seminar program.
