Our First Blog

I decided that it was finally time to create a blog for Daniel and I. We have only been married for 2 1/2 months now and already so much has happened. We got married on Dec 13th, just in time to spend our first Christmas together. We decided that since we got married in Utah that we would spend Christmas with the Blumells up in Canada. It was nice having the whole family around for the first time in a really long time! It had been awhile since I was home during the winter time so it was a shock to Daniel and I getting out of the car in the -30 degree weather. Mom, Dad, and any other family member that was around worked really hard to have the new house done before Christmas and it looked great! While we were there we had the opportunity to have an open house with everyone that wasn't able to go to the wedding. It was so nice seeing everyone from the ward!
Another big event was Daniel's first game of hockey! Our soon to be brother-in-law Jayden was kind enough to take Daniel out for a game of hockey before we all went to see the Flames play that night. It was love at first sight for Daniel and he has been playing ever since!




Soon after we got back to Rexburg we experienced a terrible loss with the passing away of Daniel's younger brother Noah. On Jan.7th Noah (age 13) passed away in the Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City from heart failure. The loss was felt by many because Noah was loved by all who met him. We have received much strength and support by friends and family and can feel Heavenly Father comforting us always.

Daniel and Noah

Both Daniel and I are students at BYU Idaho here in Rexburg. I will finally be graduating in December with a Bachelors of Education while Daniel will eventually graduate with his accounting degree. We really like it here in Rexburg, the winters aren't the funnest but there are a lot of opportunities for us here.

We just want to thank both our families for all their love and support! We love you guys very much and are so grateful for all that you have done for us!!
