Grandmama, it's me...Anastasia.

No, actually, it's me, Kyra. My last name is Palmer now. I met my husband, Richy, when we were both serving as missionaries in Brazil. After the mission we met up at BYU and we fell in love. (Great story. You should ask me about it sometime.)

We got married in April 2006, the day after finals, and 3 days later we flew to Africa to do a study abroad for a "honeymoon." (Great story. You should ask me about it sometime.)

On March 25, 2007, our son Jordan was born at home. (Another great story. You should ask me about it sometime.) He is almost one year old now, and I love being a stay-at-home mom!

We will be leaving Provo this summer so Richy can start graduate school at Indiana University. We're excited. It is great to hear your news, and I hope to hear from more of you, now that I know this blog exists!

You're kidding!!! How long has this thing been here? :) I'm SO excited to read all your updates, girls!
Well, Jeremy and I have been engaged for about a month. If you wanna see him in action, check out our YouTube video (just search Liz Olmo or Jeremy Washburn)! We're getting married on April 12th in the DC Temple and will be having a reception in Orem on April 26th. We'd love to see you there! In the meantime, I'd love any advice that all you girls have to share. This getting married thing is a blast, but the list of things to do doesn't seem to end!
Other than marrying my dream man, I'm teaching my third year at Oak Canyon Junior High, taking classes at the B-Y for grad school, and getting up early on Sunday mornings to sing.
We're pretty happy!
Love you all! I'm happy to hear from you.

It's Lindy!


Hello ladies! It's Lindy (formerly Tolley) - now Lewis. It's good to see you're all doing well.


And update on me and my family:


Shane and I live in North Orem. He works in Salt Lake as a storyboard artist for Disney's video games. He loves it - other than the commute. We've lived here for about 2.5 years.


Two months ago we had our first baby - Gwen Aubrey Lewis. She's a cutie, and we love being parents. She'll have to get used to frequent trips to Disneyland - since free admission is one of the perks Shane gets for working for Disney.
You can see my blog at lrlewis.blogspot.com - and there's a link on there to Shane's blog, which is way more entertaining than mine - he draws pictures and writes funny stories to go with each one.
Keep me updated!

Baby coming in April :)

It's a GIRL!!

Mele and Matt are expecting a baby girl April 14th. We are so excited!! We received 36 photos of her and a DVD from the ultrasound. She is beautiful!! Her first name will be Naomi, which is Mele's middle name. Her middle name will be a Hawaiian name which we are still trying to figure out. She is right on schedule, everything is there and growing just perfectly. We can’t wait to meet her in April.

M&Ms staying in Utah

Well, Matt and I decided to stay in Utah. I took a position with State Farm to be their Agency recruiter for all of Utah. Yes, lots of traveling. I've been to places I never knew existed. It is great though and I am really enjoying this new adventure. Matt has two more classes and he will finally be finished with his degree. He took a position working for a State Farm Agent to get more experience for when he opens up his own agency. That is in our 3-5 yr plan. Then who knows where we will go then. We are right in the middle of buying a home and I am sooooo excited. I can't wait to have our own place. My brother Kia and his wife Kelsey are just jumping up and down because we have been looking in an area close to them. That is our life in a nutshell. Other than those big things it is just the normal things that keep our life busy. But we love it. Hope everyone is doing well.

Love, Mele and Matt

I think I have some of this figured out now

I just learned how to view everyone's comments...and thanks Tanei, I think you are awesome too, and am happy to know you too. Anyway, I wanted to wish all of you who will read this soon a happy 4th of July. I hope it is great, and that you write about it on here.
Love you all,
Elizabeth

Elizabeth & Christian's Exciting Life




You know it is sad when you have no idea how to use or post on a blog. It took me quite a while to figure it out, but the important thing is, I did figure it out. I think it is wonderful that Tanei/Jed made a blog for us. I have not been very good at keeping in contact with most of you, but would love to know what is happening in your exciting lives.



As for my exciting life, it is going well. Christian and I are doing great. We have already been married for 4.5 years! And have two children! Where has time gone?


We are, amazingly enough, still living in Utah. Right now we are in Bountiful but should be moving (somewhere still near SLC) before the end of the summer. We are looking to buy a house right now, but who knows if we really will.


Christian is working for Fidelity Investments doing all sorts of finacial things that I don't understand, while I am learning how to teach English as a second language (second to gibberish) to my two-year-old (Derek), and teaching my baby (Audrey) how to walk.


We are enjoying all of our summer trips, and all the warm weather. So in a nutshell my life is pretty awesome.



Now what is happening with all of you?
