We moved back to Ohio while Brett did his externship in New Orleans and after our second baby girl was born we went back to New York for him to graduate from C.I.A. and then moved to South Carolina. I am going into too much detail but we basically moved 8 times in 10 years=twice across the USA. Brett is in the D.O. program right now at Midwestern.

One of my very first testimony strengthening experiences was in 1996. I was going to UVSC and my father had just got killed in a car accident. At that time I was in apartments that were close to BYU so I was lucky enough to go to a BYU ward. Well I had stopped going to church for I think several months. Those wonderful LDS BYU students started giving me cards, stuffed animals, flowers etc. I was soo touched that to this day I try not to miss church for any reason besides if I was dying. Another time was in a UVU institute New Testament class and I have never had a stronger testimony about Jesus Christ since that class.
