About Us

My photo
Burt and I were sealed in the Las Vegas temple on October 8, 2011 for time and all eternity. We are living in Henderson and are both working on our bachelor's degrees. We graduate in 2013, with a BA in Speech Pathology for me and a BS in Biology for Burt. He plans to start medical school in the fall of 2014. We love our newlywed life and couldn't be happier!

Love Story: Chapter 3



At this point I was living in Utah with Joe & Felicia (bro & sis-in-law). They were nice enough to offer for me to live with them for a while. My plan was to work and start school once I got residency. I got a job at a Marriott hotel in Provo. WORST JOB EVER. I worked the graveyard shift at the front desk. I hated being there alone at night. And I hated when people asked me to fix something in their rooms, like a toilet. I have ZERO handyman skills and people staying at hotels are REALLY grumpy at midnight. Not a good combo. Also, there were the creepy men who flirted with me. I remember one guy in particular, named Lucky. {Who names their child "Lucky"? You're just asking for him to become a creeper.} Lucky called down to the front desk after he got into his hotel room. When I answered, he said something to this effect, "There is a sign on the night stand that says you will do anything possible to make my stay enjoyable..." [insert more creepy comments that I blocked from my memory]. Creeptastic. Anyway, the job ended up being a real bust. I quit at the end of January, after only three months of working there. 


Meanwhile, Burt was working, and going to school at UNLV. He had a change of heart about his major. Before his mission, he was working toward a degree in Engineering. He then decided to switch to Biology and made plans to go to medical school. 

After I quit my job, I felt a strong impression to move back home. I had conflicting feelings; I felt that if I moved back, I would be giving up on a new experience. But I prayed about it and felt like I needed to move back, although I didn't know why. I moved back home in February 2010. I felt instantly relieved and happy when I moved home. Oddly, I felt like it was a new start. How could moving back home be a new start? It didn't make sense, but things felt right.
