We have finally joined the world of blogging! The time has come--as in that time when you get married and start a blog for your family who lives far away (and those that live close too) so that they know what is going on in your life.
So, just a little about us. Alvin and Karen (or Kalvin people like to say) met on a study abroad at the BYU Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies during the spring/summer semester of 2012.

It was not love at first sight, but the friendship grew and grew until Alvin proposed on December 15, 2012, and Karen said YES. We were married in the Cardston, Alberta Temple on June 8, 2013 and have been loving life ever since. We are both currently studying at Brigham Young University (Alvin is studying Molecular Biology and Karen is studying Nursing) and are excited to graduate in April.
Alvin loves to go birding (and Karen loves to be with Alvin so I guess she likes birding too) and Karen likes anything with sugar in it.
