Cassie and Chris 2016

Cassie and Chris 2016

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.

Quite Sudden and Expected at the Same Time ... We Are Moving

As the title says, we are sad to say that we are moving. We are moving because Chris goes back to school at UVU in the next couple weeks and I'm not healed enough for me to be comfortable by myself. I'm going to continue to heal over the next 8 months (the time Chris has left for his semesters). We are not moving because of the money. It is for me and the people that are taking care of me. So, if in the next two weeks you don't hear from me or Chris, it's because of the move!  We are grateful to all those who have helped in my time of need. We will miss the ward and all the friends we have made. 

P.S. The Bioness video clips are coming soon ... But here is a photo to whet your appetite!

The Bioness Has Arrived

I got my hand Bioness working and had Lumosity placed on my iPad. I am very excited because before you had to get out my laptop and now we get it on my iPad! I learned that you have to give people a break even myself.  My life gets so stressed out because I can't do everything, like hair, because I can't put it into a ponytail. I need a time out too.

I also got my leg Bioness working. It is very slow, because I cannot wear it for a full day yet. I will be fidgeting with my leg as I get used to it. The exciting part is that I can wear different shoes and not the leg brace when I have the Bioness devices on. I am tired of always having to wear my Nike and Sketchers shoes.

I will be posting some videos of the Bioness devices in action soon!
