Wow

So it's been quite a while. Way too long to try to catch up on everything that's happened, but in a nutshell: Ben and I got married in LA, lived there for about 6 months while I worked as an art director and he worked in security. Moved to SLC valley where I took a job as a Jr. Graphic Designer with more pay than the art director position and Ben still found work in security. After a few years I changed jobs to work as a designer at Mountain America Credit Union and Ben lost his job for a few months and is now head of logistics at Coco Joy where dad is the President of the parent company and Beth is... something along the lines of Vice President of Coco Joy. I've now been working for almost 3 years at MACU and Ben about 2 years at Coco Joy.

This past year Ben and I finally visited China to visit his relatives and take a vacation with his family. While there, his mom prayed to every shrine we passed that we would have kids (more specifically a boy and a girl—twins). She made us pray at the big ones with her and took us to an herbalist that prescribed some weird medicinal tea we were supposed to take twice daily. I took mine about 3 days into it and it didn't bode well with my stomach, so I stopped taking it (especially since we were supposed to carry our own toilet paper and I did not have enough for the ramifications...). Low and behold, when we got home a few weeks later I got my first positive pregnancy test.

I was told to keep a journal of the pregnancy because it will help later. I might write it down later on paper, but before I forget, it's going up here in another post. To be continued...
