Welcome Home!


Hey friends and family... I think we've officially moved into our house! It's hard to say...there's still so much to do. However, as of now, we have all the bamboo flooring installed (go green!), the baseboards are stapled, the plumbing is functioning, and the tile is looking fabulous.... And Ammon has a lawnmower! Feeling like actual homeowners now.

Jes is currently molding minds at Highland High here in Gilbert. Her most difficult task is making it clear to every high school boy that she is actually 8 years older than them and extremely unavailable. Aside from the occasional fumbling flirtatious freshman boy, her classes are a joy. (I'm a poet and I didn't even realize that I was one).

Ammon is beginning his first year of law school at ASU. It's mostly just parties and women and lots and lots of drinking.... Sometimes though he'll go to class where he learns the ins and outs of contracts, torts, legal writing, etc. All in all, it's an enlightening season. His favorite moments are falling asleep in the law library (the smell of arduous books and the buzz of the fluorescents are his pacifier) and reciting cases to Jes.

Love.

Hey Jes!

So you are moved and settling in! Yay! haha it sounds like the boys still don't get it. Maybe by the time prom rolls around they will recognize you as a teacher and not a new student. ;) It was so good to hear from you.

p.s. your hair is dark! cute.
