We've been married for almost a year now, and people keep asking us how we are and what we have been up to lately. We decided maybe it's time to start a blog. Here's a brief biography on each of us and what has been going on over the past year.
Kierra is originally from central New Hampshire, but moved around a bit as a child. Eventually the family found their way back to New Hampshire, where most of her large extended family still lives. Kierra likes to read. She is enrolled at Nashua Community College studying American Sign Language and hopes to be an interpreter.
Steven was born and raised in southern New Hampshire. After high school, he attended school at Lakes Region Community College in Laconia. He went full time his first year there, which required him to move, but he has been going part time since then. He is studying electricity and will hopefully be finishing his degree in the spring.
We met each other when Steven moved to go to school. We are both members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and we attended the same congregation in Laconia. We both served missions for the church. Kierra served in the media department in the church office building, and Steven served a proselyting mission in the Salt Lake City area. After returning to New Hampshire, we quickly started planning our wedding, and we got married that fall after dating for four and a half years, including the time apart on our missions.
Currently, we are attending college and Steven is working part time at a local grocery store. Because of this, we have been living with Steven's parents since getting married. Hopefully after Steven finishes college we will be able to afford our own place.
We assume that most, if not all, of our readers have been in touch with us over the past year, so we will not try to sum up what he have been doing. Instead, we will just start with what is going on now.
We hope you enjoy the blog!
I told Julia about how you are studying ASL, Kierra, and she thought that was so awesome! She is taking a class in that this semester. She said her teacher is going to be interpreting at General Conference. Love your blog!
