More of our Family

Chris is from Victoria and all his family is out there. He has an awesome family! He is the oldest of 6 children and has ventured out from his island home to Toronto for a few years for work, the Phillipines for a 2 year LDS church mission and finally to Calgary where he met me and merged his life with mine.

I am from a small town in Alberta. I was raised on a farm and I have an older brother, Nathan, and twin sister, Camellia (who is married to Doug and they have little one year old Sterling). I had the best childhood ever! I smile every time I think about memories growing up on the farm. I loved helping dad with the cows, riding horses, mowing the lawn, doing other chores, cold winter nights with a fire in the fire place. I could go on forever! I have been so blessed to have the parents I have. They left May 2012 to serve a mission for the church  in Korea.

After high school, I went to BYUIdaho and got my BSN. Then I ventured down to Ecuador for a LDS church mission. Yes, the LDS church or Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is huge in our lives. After a 1.5 year mission, I came to live in Calgary and am I ever glad I did because this is where I met my Chris.

We love Calgary and can see ourselves staying in this area till retirement and beyond.
