This is my first blog ever so friends and family bare with me. This blog is meant to tell you whats going on in oour life this summer. Curt and Julie live in Houston where Curt is in Dental School. His wife Julie is almost 9 months pregnant and due in less than 3 weeks with baby Claire. They are so excited and Claire can't come soon enough since Houston has been 1oo degrees or over every day this month. Chad and I go to Houston to meet Claire August 4th.Marissa graduated with her Masters in Social Work in May and got a great job at an adoption agency in Orem. Two weeks ago she got engaged to Chris Coates who is a graphic designer. They will be married in the Salt Lake Temple September 11th with a reception at Millenial Falls in Sandy. We couldn't be happier. Chris and Rylie live in Lansing, Michigan where Chris is in his last year of law school. Rylie is pregnant with baby #2, Arista Miracle. There first baby Preslie was born into heaven October 22, 2008. She will always be our first grandchild and was so beautiful. Chris and Rylie are truly special people. Chad and I and our kids are awesome tennis players and Chad and I play each day.We are Utah Ute fanatics with a basement named the Utetorium. We had a flag outside that was taken so now our new one is inside. Any Utah memorabilia is now guarded with care. On Saturdays, the big screen is filled with friends watching football games. That gives you an idea of what our lives are like. We also love visitors so you know where to come. Love Chad and Sue
