Hello! So I am blogging for the first time ever, so I don't really know where to begin. I wanted to start a blog so I can keep friends and family updated on what's happening, since we now live far away. We just recently moved to Keokuk, IA about a month and a half ago -almost two- and we're still getting adjusted to everything. Colton graduated from BYU-I in December '12 in Accounting, and is now the Business Manager for an academy here, Midwest Academy. It's basically a private boarding school for teenagers who are struggling with problems -such as addictions, behavior, etc. and need more individual help/support than what they get at regular public high schools. It helps them overcome whatever problems they have, and they eventually graduate with a high school diploma. His older brother Ben is the owner. Anyway! So Colton is over the accounting/finance side of the business, and is staying very busy! But it's good. He likes the challenge.
We like our apartment- it's spacious and nice. We're still adjusting to Keokuk itself. It's a small town and there's not much here. They have a Walmart- which is pretty much the only shopping in town! And they have a public pool which we're excited to go to in the summer. And there's plenty of golf courses around for Colton. But other than that, we have to drive to other places to do stuff. We are somewhat close to a lot of big cities which is fun. We recently went to Chicago and that was a blast! Oh and Nauvoo is only 20 minutes away, so that's awesome! It's such a neat place to visit. And the temple is AMAZING. So we're definitely looking forward to warm weather. There's much more to do!
So that's a little about where we are in life. We are all doing well. Little Calvin is growing like a weed. He's almost 18 months old which is hard to believe! He's such a joy. He's saying more words, and still jibber-jabbers nonstop. He loves to play with other kids, is obsessed with coloring, loves climbing anything that is climbable, and loves playing outside. He's always happy and can make anyone smile. He has, however, developed a little attitude! I just wish he would stay little forever! Love him:)
