Chris & Cassie: A Journey That Takes Two: It's All Coming Together

Our Story

It all started in a seminary class in high school, with a "mop-headed boy" and a dancer/singer who sat behind him. As only friends in high school, and then reuniting after Christopher's mission, we were married in the LDS temple in Manti, Utah, and have now been married for over 7 years.

On January 16, 2013, Cassie was diagnosed with a stroke. As a result, many of our dreams and goals were delayed. But we were not to be deterred. Chris graduated in 2014 and currently works at Imagine Learning, and Cassie graduated in 2016 and now volunteers at the hospital while maintaining the apartment.

As we now commence on our journey to adopt, please spread the word! Comments are welcome as expressions of love and support. Most important is the faith and prayers offered in our behalf. So we invite you to share in our journey, as we look back in time to the beginning of the emergency and then update you to the joys and trials we face together. This is our story.

It's All Coming Together

By July 2, my blister was almost gone. I was ready for the 4th of July: I got my patriotic wreath and patriotic flowers done to decorate my house. I went to breakfast up at my family's ward with my husband. It was quite a good night because we saw, as we drove home, multiple firework displays all the way home. It was a fun holiday and glad to be with my husband.

My new patriotic shirt!

It's been getting so busy lately! I have been busy with the letters informing you of our fundraiser, held at the Stoddard's house. I have been so impressed with the generosity of other people. I want to thank you all.

My husband and I have also been looking into disability insurance. At first I was turned off by it: the thought that I couldn't go to work and get paid was unacceptable (I realized this in the hospital before I could speak). But I know it's the right thing to do, not leaving my husband to pay for every thing. And we have friends helping us survive.
