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.

The 4th Anniversary of Her Stroke

It has now been 4 years to the day since Cassie's stroke. We contemplate her progress since then, and know that although more is required, she has done so well and has maintained a positive attitude in the midst of her trial.

We rediscovered this gem of the photography session we did as part of the "Beauty Revived" movement by various photographers. We invite your to check it out! http://beautyrevived.com/meet-cassie-she-is-beauty-revived/

She is amazing and keeps pushing! 


Christmas Day

We had a blast this Christmas. It was nice to have family around. Cassie did happen to be sick most of the time, so that dampened the spirit a bit. We did find joy in the #LIGHTtheWORLD campaign the church did, as it stretched us and drew us closer to our Savior.

Naturally, the hair on Chris' head is usually not as exciting as this
