I doubt anyone even checks this anymore (including me) but just in case, I thought I'd give a little update! Our family is in Provo UT where we've been for the past year. I'm finishing up my degree at BYU. I've got 2 classes and an internship to go... almost there :) Joe is working at the University of Southern Nevada at their South Jordan extension. Alex was accepted into the Center for Accelerated Studies and is thriving. Emma is in 2nd grade and doing wonderfully at school, and Ethan started Kindergarten this year. We are soooooo happy with the schools, which is a surprise because UT doesn't have the best reputation. Ivy goes to BYU with me and my professor just loves her! It's great to spend some one-on-one time with her and it makes her feel "big" like everyone else.
Joe is serving in the Elder's Quorum presidency and I'm in the Primary presidency, and we are really enjoying our callings. We decided to try our had at raising chickens! Joe and the neighbor built a coop and we have 4 hens. Emma has a bunny and Alex has a gerbil, so we are slowly but surely creating our own petting zoo out here. I swear it has been like therapy for Emma who truly needs to interact with an animal of her own. It's hilarious to watch Ivy in the chicken coop. I'm anxious to have more space and more animals someday!
So, that's the quick version, but we are still alive and doing well! Sometime I'll post some pictures :)

Sarah!!! It was so fun to hear an update! It sounds like you are all busy and happy and doing such good things. I'm excited for you being so close to finishing your degree, and so neat you can bring Ivy with you. It sounds perfect! I think back to our Indiana days as neighbors and am so grateful to know you. You always lifted my spirits and taught me so much just by your example. Glad to hear you are all doing well!
