Fresno finds us alive and kicking, but just barely. Actually, things are looking up. Larry is adjusting to a new boss, and the new boss is adjusting to him. It's been a rough beginning, but things are smoothing out now.

One of the things we've loved about Fresno is the diversity of wonderful people here. From illegal immigrants and parolees working to change their lives, to
affluent members of our ward and influential community leaders, our friends come from so many different walks of life. It's really amazing how fascinatingly fantastic each person is. Sometimes I wish I could keep a book of their stories.

As far as church goes, Larry serves in the High Priest group leadership, and I serve in the Stake Primary. Kind of funny, huh? I never would have guessed I'd be in a stake calling.

Emily (1) keeps us hopping. We took down the bunk bed ladder, hoping to discourage outrageously dangerous climbing, but she has now discovered that she can use the dresser next to the bed as a sort of step stool to get her to the top. She likes to test the ingenuity of your average American parent. It's a bit wearying.

Okay, so I stole the title from my husband. It's one of his favorite things to say, and it's true! We were married March 16, 2007, so our one year anniversary is next month. We don't know how we'll be celebrating it yet, but it will be great. We live in West Valley, and attend what Carson likes to call "the young married ward." Our ward consists of 3 apartment complexes, so there are a lot of young couples. We are both working and Carson is also going to school at ITT Tech full time. I am in the Primary Presidency and I love it!
