Baby Aubrey


Here is an ultra sound of our baby girl that is coming in about 3 weeks... This is an older ultra sound but this is her... We are really excited to meet her. She already has a personality that is adorable.

New Apartment

As of May 21, 2010 we now have a place of our own. Me and neal had been living with his sister in Gilbert. It is getting closer to the point when we need our own place because of baby aubrey who will be joining our family in about 3 weeks. We are really excited to have our own place and are getting all the things new apartments need and no one really thinks of getting. For instance, a plunger!! One night about 8 o clock at night the toilet gets clogged and then we have to run out to Home Depot and get one so that it doesn't just sit there. Of course when you take a man to Home Depot you are going to spend more time than you expected... and guess what we did. We did get out with spending only 6 dollars and 2 hours later.. we got home and then were able to fix the toilet.
Anyways, Neal is done with his class and he got a C+ out of the class and he is just waiting to send in his transcript and then in July or August he will get his diploma. He is now working full time about 2-3 days out of the week straight 40 hours. I love having him home for about 4 days straight and then 2 days of not seeing him much. He loves what he is doing though. I promise I will post some pictures of me and neal and the new apartment soon.

More about Kristen and Neal

Just to clear up some things...
Neal does not like the pink back ground but we are going to keep it because it shows the dominance of girls in the family soon. He doesn't mind but he wanted to make sure that everyone knew that.

Neal is currently waiting to hear back from a great job offer as a Behavioral Health Technician in the Maricopia County. He would be working with families on specific goals and things that are important for them to become functional as a family or as individuals in the family unit. He is going to be done with his B.S at the end of this month and will be able to get even better pay with a degree in Psychology.

My name is Kristen and I am really excited to be done with school. We both will graduate from BYU-Idaho. We moved down to Arizona for me to do student teaching. I was tired of the snow and wanted to be closer to family that lives here in the Gilbert and Mesa areas of Arizona. I am originally from San Antonio, like I said and I am looking forward to the summer which will be dry but hot. I am so used to the humid and hot time and it will be nice to not have that humidity factor with the heat.

Transition Period

School is officially over and I though that it would be nice to start a blog so that people can know what is going on with our little family here in Arizona. I am from San Antonio Texas and Neal is from Seattle Washington. We both enjoy We have been married for 1 year and 4 months. We love being married and are excited to invite a little girl to our family. Neal is almost done with his B.A in Psychology and I graduated this month with a B.S in Early Childhood/Special Education. I student taught in the Gilbert School District this winter semester at Quartz Hill Elementary. I really enjoyed it but still want to be a stay at home mom to my new baby daughter that is going to arrive in June.
School is over and the search for a job and stable living arrangements are an order. We have a baby girl on the way and it is going to be important that we have a decent place for our little family. We are finding plenty of places around Mesa and Gilbert area that we really like but we are unsure where we are going to set down stakes for the next year or so.
