I thought we'd start things off with a brief snapshot introduction of us:
Doug and I met and courted in Washington DC. Doug was going to school and I was working on Capitol Hill. We met on a group date, though we were on dates with different people, not each other. The "spark" was definitely between us, though and I even felt a little guilty for ignoring my own date and paying so much attention to Doug ;). We were married in the Salt Lake temple in December 2005. There was no snow in Utah that week and the weather was unseasonably warm. It was a gorgeous December wedding. It's hard to believe we're coming up on our 2 year anniversary!
Several months after we were married, Doug finished school, and we moved to California to take a job. I was also able to find a new job a few months later, and though it's nothing like being on Capitol Hill, I'm enjoying it quite a bit. It's still pretty strange to us to be real "grown-ups." We're liking things here and are slowly acclimating to California. It was a pretty big change for us from the east coast, or even from the smaller western towns where we were raised. But we're enjoying ourselves and hope you'll enjoy checking in with us once in a while. Welcome to our blog!

I love it! It is fun to see your family.
I loved reading your story!
I've been to that beach!
Keep safe from those fires. We're worried about you, and praying for you.
Love Mom
Hey Kathy! Randomly found you on here and since I rarely get to chat with you at church anymore I guess I'll just have to read your blog! Anyhow your story is to cute! See you tommorrow!

Kathy, you looked so beautiful at your wedding! I LOVE your wedding dress. Next to mine it's one of my most favorite I've seen. :) I'm envious of you in California, that's where Leo and I hope we might end up (or Texas?) but who knows. All I really know, is that I detest the cold and Chicago is cold!! (Probably not as bad as ND, although my dad says it is in it's own way.) Anyway, HI!
