Well, we've finally done it. We've finally started a blog. We're not entirely sure what you write in these things, but I guess I'll start it with what is going on in our life right now.

I (Tia) have been going to school to be a Physical Therapist Assistant for the last year and I just finished with classes last Thursday. I don't start my next clinical until January 11th and I have really been enjoying the break so far, although, I don't really know what to do with myself now that I don't have assignments and tests to study for every day. I have actually been picking up a lot of shifts at work (I work at a hospital as a Rehab aide) so that's helped to keep me pretty busy. Other than that, I'm just enjoying the holiday season and looking forward to our trip to cali in a couple weeks! My brother, Andrew, has been serving a mission for our church in Chile for the last two years and will be home then so we are looking forward to seeing him (and the rest of the Suamataia family). :-)

I (Kevin) have been both bringing home the bacon (working full time at Western Wats) and being the homemaker (doing the shopping, cooking and cleaning) while Tia has been burning the midnight oil to keep up with her school work load. I think it's safe to say that I am just as relieved as she is that she is done with classes. I've also been spending a lot of time on the wii lately thanks to Kendal and Kelsey who bought us an awesome new starwars game :) We actually drove to Salem, OR recently for Thanksgiving and we got to spend some time with them and my parents which we really enjoyed and wish we could do more often.


This pretty much sums up our lives recently and I feel like we've written a novel now, so we'll try to keep the next posts shorter :-) Hopefully we'll be able to post regularly and keep this updated, but we'll see how it goes...
