Kitties




We are looking for a temporary foster home for our cats. We are moving into my parents' basement for about 9 months and are unable to keep them during that time. We love our pets and will be excited to give them a good home after we leave my parents house but need some help until then. Let me know if you are interested or know anyone who could help. Needless to say, we will provide food, kitty litter and compensation for a good home. They might look mean in the pictures but they're just camera shy. Both are box trained and have front paws declawed. Ichabod, the black cat, loves to play and stretch on his back. Carma, the calico, is friendly and loves to cuddle. Below is a rare belly picture of me. It was taken in March so imagine how much bigger I am now!
By the way, if you haven't heard, we are having a baby girl named Emmy, short for Emmarique Rose. Aimerique is a French name that Gib loved on his mission, so we decided to use the name but spell it phonetically. Hopefully, to make her life easier when her teachers call her name in class.

Hey! Long time no blog! I am so glad to FINALLY see you updated. Yay! How have you been? Congrats on a healthy pregnancy. I want to throw you a shower, so we need to talk. When do you move? So I just have to say that I would take your cats for you, but they look a lot tougher than mine, and I am afraid they will beat my cats when I'm not looking...

About Me

We are both thrilled to be parents. Our miracle baby was born on August 20, 2008. We are happy to have her in our family and cherish our time with her. I am a chemist at a rocket manufacturer who supplies propulsion for the NASA space shuttle. I got my bachelor's degree from the University of Utah in 2004. I love my job! Gib works at a microbiology testing lab. He is currently attending classes at the University of Utah to get a bachelors degree in biological engineering. We have been married since July 2002. We met at a U of U singles ward. Laura (my cousin) and I had just moved into an apartment together when Gib was assigned to be our home teacher. Needless to say, Gib was a dedicated home teacher. And I didn't mind at all!
