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.

Our appeal for therapy!

We have some great news! We appealed multiple times to have our insurance grant coverage for more therapy. Each time they said no. In the morning we were about to go up to Salt Lake and meet with them in person. About the time we were getting ready to leave, we received a phone call, where the insurance said that as a one-time event they would grant the additional therapy sessions like we wanted. We are greatly that we were so persistent in this process and that Heavenly Father is still looking out for us. It's going to be a tight schedule getting all of these appointments scheduled before the end of the year, but that is overshadowed by the extreme blessing that it is.  So I'll be working hard until the end of this year!

General Conference

Elder Dube talked about never looking back but looking forward; to me it means don't look back to last year I will only be disappointed. But only look forward to today, like when I walked up stairs like normal or my next therapy session, or tomorrow went I get to go to the last session of general conference.
