Hey Guys! So I found your blog through Derek's blog after finding him on facebook. I was wondering about you guys the other day. I remember your mom (stefanie) telling me that you were expecting but then we moved. Your little boy is adorable you guys. SO how is life? I hope you don't mind if I add your blog to my list. My mom will be happy to see how you guys are doing. Especially her long lost "son" and my "brother" ha ha. Hope you are well and can't wait to hear from you. If you check out my blog it is mess. I just got back from texas and am in need of updating it and making it all nice again. -Silvia Salazar Payne
Yay! I am so glad you are interested. I also am just learning bits and pieces about Relay for Life, but it sounds really amazing. The basic idea is thus: Put together a team of people (20 maximum), pay a registration fee ($100-there is a discount for registering this month), come up with a team name, each team member raises $100, in the summer (I think July 15,16 or 16,17, I'll check for sure) we go to the Quad and walk all night!!! It sounds like a lot of fun. All the money goes to fund cancer research, and the majority of the money stays right here in Utah! There is a meeting coming up next week or the week afterward. I am looking for someone who would be willing to be the team captain for our ward.
Dax and I met while working at Macey's, but not until his last day of work when he came through my checkstand. We flirted with each other and it eventually led to us being married on March 11, 2006. Dax moved to Logan since I was going to school there and then he started school the semester after we were married. He began working at Hyclone Laboratories, where he is still employed today. While in my last semester of school we were surprised by some shocking news. We were expecting a baby in October. I luckily got through the morning sickness and was able to graduate in the Spring of 2007. I was hired at Migrant Head Start as the Infant Teacher. I took care of 8 babies under the age of one for 8 hours a day. It was great practice. Dax came in and volunteered a lot, and I loved seeing him with the little babies. It made me even more excited for our baby. After about 4 months of work I had to quit and had Ryan a fews days after on October 27th. It was a very easy labor and delivery...thank goodness for modern medicine! As if you can't tell by our blog, we are very proud of our little Ryan. He is growing up too fast, but we love watching him learn new things. Dax is a great dad. Ryan always smiles from ear to ear when dad walks through the door. Dax works very hard to support our family so that I can stay home with Ryan. He is still working full time and going to school full time. He wants to go out in Biological Engineering, and he has really tough classes but is doing well. He teases that he is on an 8 year program for a Bachelor's Degree...but we sure hope it doesn't take that long. We love being in Logan and are glad to only be a little ways away from most of our family. We are grateful for all of our many blessings and hope to keep being blessed as our family grows!
