News on us

Hey ya’ll

This is Josh. Just wanted to give everyone an update on our lives.

First of all, yes we stayed for the end of the BYU-Tulsa game (with Chris and Leah). Except for the wet and cold, it was a lot of fun, and it was nice to see the team put a licking on someone.

Also, for those who haven’t heard. As of a couple weeks ago, Andrea and I are now ward missionaries serving in the Spanish ward for our stake. So we’re still technically members of our ward, but we go to the meetings with the other ward. So that’s fun for me, but hard for Andrea, since the meetings are all in Spanish. So that’s interesting. On the same church-y note, there was a regional conference today for all of Utah and Wasatch counties, and President (of BYU) Samuelson, Elder Wirthlin and President Monson spoke. It was really neat.

As for me, school started this last week. I’m applying to the School of Communication this month, and I can’t take any more Comms classes until I get in, so I’m mostly taking Spanish classes, plus New Testament, Portuguese 101 (just for fun), and… Concert Choir.

The Concert Choir thing was kind of an accident. I originally only auditioned for Men’s Chorus, but Sister Hall (the director of both) asked if I was interested in doing Concert Choir. I hadn’t even considered auditioning for it, because it’s the second-highest choir at BYU, but I said yes. Then I made callback auditions, and I made it. So it will be a fun semester.

Anyways, that’s life from here. Have fun everyone!

Go Cougars!

I Finally Got It To Work!!

Hey ya’ll!

Here’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for:my first attempt at this posting business.

For those of you we haven’t talked to recently, our trip to South Carolina was great. We really enjoyed ourselves, and now we’re back. I’m taking a break from school for the summer, so I’m enjoying the time off.

Andrea has a job as the music and art specialist for grades 4-6 at Orem Elementary School. We went to visit the principal the other day, and she’s really excited. She has a lot of stuff to work with. Plus, all the teachers in her district get a laptop, so we have a 900 MHz iBook to use as long as she works in the district. So that’s really exciting as well.

In any case, here are some of the pictures from our trip, including pictures from Patriot’s Point, home of the WWII ships the Yorktown (an aircraft carrier), Clamagore (a submarine), Laffey (a destroyer) and Ingham (a Coast Guard cutter). And, pictures from the River Banks Zoo in Columbia, Folley Beach and downtown historic Charleston. And a couple of Andrea’s brother Matt and his family. Sorry about the large album sizes, for you dial-upers. But yeah.

Enjoy!

P.S. Thanks a ton Jer for helping me figure out the whole picture-posting business.
