Bryce is awesome.

Seriously, he is amazing. This post is all about him... hopefully that floats your boat for a minute. I know that bragging about people is uncool, but hear me out. ;) Bryce hardly ever talks about how much he has going on and he never complains. One of the things that I've always admired about him is how well he deals with stress. Something that has been pretty tough for us the past 4 years is grad school. Bryce has kept a good attitude and didn't quit... he's graduating on April 30th. YAY! Here's the invite for any family that wants to be there. Bryce picked the awesome picture. ;) Es for fun.

Bryce has always been in school, but he started working on his Master's degree online in 2012 while we were still living in St. George. We have moved twice since then and it hasn't really been easy. Tuition is very expensive and the time it takes to complete a degree can be overwhelming. Bryce has worked so hard to get his degree and has also been working full time, sometimes with two jobs. On top of that, he got diabetes in 2014 and has been working hard to maintain good health. He is still working on his goals and is doing awesome. Here are some more progress pictures. Woot!


Thanks for the pictures, Aubree!
I'm amazed at all that Bryce is doing. He deserves recognition for his hard work! :) It's not easy to get rid of 80 lbs while also completing a degree and working full time! AND he still takes the time to care about me and make me laugh. I definitely don't deserve him. He has always been the level-headed one, the peacemaker, the kind one, the jokester, the calm one, etc. I'm so grateful for his example. 

We're also grateful for all of the support and encouragement from family and friends. Every act of kindness has buoyed us up. 

Last but not least, we're thankful for the help of the Lord. There have been many little miracles along the way and we're grateful for the power of prayer and God's help... in everything. Life isn't easy, but our testimonies have been strengthened and continue to be tested through life's ups and downs. God is hope and peace. He knows and loves each person perfectly and knows how to help each of us in our hard times.



Go Bryce!! Woot! One more month of school! You got this! ♥/T

Easter 2016

He lives! We're grateful that the Savior made it possible for families to be together forever.

It was fun being able to spend some time with family for Easter. We missed the family that couldn't be there! (Thanks for the pictures and pretty floral crowns, Aubree!)
