David and I have been married 20 yrs. this coming March. We wanted to start a blog to connect with birth families (in the US and across the world) and with our friends and family who are here in Arizona and across the world. I (Mary) am excited to do this online journal! I hope any of you reading this will respond and let me know what's up in your world! Be patient with me as I learn the blogging world and update with current pictures and info....for now we thought we would give a little background.Engagement picture...1989. I love teal....and now it's in style again ! I met David at a church dance and really got to know him while attending Arizona State University.
We were married March 3rd, 1989 in the Arizona Temple. He was and still is my Prince Charming. We spent the first 9 yrs. of marriage in Sacramento, CA....David worked for Granite Construction as a Civil Engineer (project estimator and project manager). We moved back to AZ in 1998 and haven't regretted it.....it has been great being around cousins, Aunts and Uncles and Grandparents. David works for Woodbine Development as a Project Manager....doing high-end retail projects like Kierland Commons in Scottsdale. Mary teaches Music part-time, helps with Children Performing Groups, Substitute teaches a few times a month for 3 school districts, and mainly keeps 7 people's schedules running.My brother Paul took this picture...he calls it "Looking Into Eternity
The kids are sooooo cute here! This is in Sacramento, CA right before we moved back to AZ.
This is our family picture that we used to try to adopt Jackson and Vanessa.
Hey Mary! I'm so glad to know you have a blog. It's such a great way to record life. I loved your Christmas card and letter. I'm am blown away by all you guys are involved in! Among other things, I can't believe the stuff about Chandler Gilbert Community college. Wow. I'll have to ask you more about that.
ReplyDeleteElle (my daughter) has been sitting in here by the computer tonight listening to "My Eternal Family" so she can know the words better on Sunday. Both she and Grace are so excited about singing since you taught them so well in just that short amount of time! (We all agree we like how you sing it better than they sing it on the download on the computer!)
See you Sunday!
Hey, welcome to the blogging world. I am so excited to be able to keep up with your wonderful family. Just got your christmas card and can't believe how grown up your kids are getting and beautiful I might add.
ReplyDeleteHi beautiful Cavenees,
ReplyDeleteAll of the kids said before we even sent our Christmas letter to you, "I like to read the Cavenee's letter. Did we get one from them yet?" I am not kidding. So thank you for sending this to us.
We will be looking for the updates, and hopefully pictures of Zorro and Ginger too.
Just kidding, or not.
It was so great to hear from you! We love the Cavenees! You are wonderful and we miss you! I am excited to be able to follow your blog so I don't miss a-beat of what your family is up to. Here is our blog address..http://whitesidesfam.blogspot.com
