Chris & Cassie: A Journey That Takes Two: An Eventful Saturday

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.

An Eventful Saturday

October 12th was an exciting day! It started out with primary practice, and I figured out how to put up folding chairs! In the middle of the day we had Gramps' 80th birthday party and I talked with several people. It's a small world, because I remember my conversation about Dr. Edgely that I had with Jen Holt (that they are cousins)! I said I saw him last month at his office, and I was very impressed with him, because he had a stroke when he was 27! The last thing was a dinner, with the Kieffer family, Holt family and my family! So we had dinner and we sat around talking a bit and I knew my mom was going to get up and give Mat a thank you gift from BYU for working there for 15 years. But I didn't know he was going to present me with an award too ... I am a part of Thursday's heroes! This means that I can go and meet the team after the football practice on October 22, and I get to go to a football game. On top of that I also get to go to BYU every year by BYUs invitation for a Thursday's heroes banquet!
