So now that we have moved away from a lot of family and friends, I decided to put together a blog to show what we are up to here in Texas! But, beware! I am a horrible writer, so please bear with me.
Let me start at the beginning. Back in October we had a beautiful boy named, Jake! It has been so awesome to have him be a part of our family. He has done so well! In early January, my wife's maternity leave was coming to an end and we had to come up with a solution for daycare that we could afford. My brother started to talk to me about opportunities for great jobs in Dallas, Texas. He had been living there for about a year and was doing great. We began to investigate living in Texas and did a lot of fasting and prayer. My brother then called me and said that he could get me on at FedEx as a driver. The more we prayed about it, the more we felt like it was going to be a good move. So, February 14 our family moved to Plano, Texas.
When we got to Texas, I was preparing to begin work with FedEx when I heard about a few other companies that were hiring. One of the companies was a mattress company called Sleep Experts. I read that Sleep Experts was awarded "the best places to work" in the Dallas area. Looking into this company, I was quite excited about what I could do with this company. I was interview and hired in the first part of March. Since I was hired, great things have happened and Melissa has been able to be a stay at home mom. I have now been with Sleep Experts for just about 7 weeks now and love it!
Melissa and Jake have been busy with playing and growing. Melissa has been helping with daycare for my brother's kids as well. We have a few nice parks in the area where they go on walks and enjoy nature and the beautiful weather. On my days off, Melissa and I have enjoyed exploring the area. Plano is nice and we really like the area. We have also found lots of other areas that are really nice like Frisco, Allen, and McKinney. Just about 30 minutes south is Downtown Dallas. Downtown is really fun!
So that just about does it! I hope that you enjoy this blog and we look forward to sharing our adventures with you! Stay tuned for more about our life here in Texas!

Jake's Great Photos..Bad Photos...
Jake is 6 months! We decided to go to the Dallas Temple grounds and take a few photos of Jake. We drove about 25-30 minutes to the temple and took some "great photos". When we got home and looked at them on the computer they were horrible! I looked back on the camera and found that somehow the setting got set to "custom program" setting so everything was way off the correct settings. I tried to fix them but did not have much luck. But other then the poor quality, Jake is really cute! Just use your imagination to perfect the quality of the photos! Here are a couple of them and then below is a link to see the rest.
If you have any trouble with the link, please let me know and I will try to correct it. Enjoy!
