Kyle and Christy's Place: Alcatraz

Alcatraz

One of my favorite parts of our trip was our visit to Alcatraz.

It was really fun to see all of these historical places. Christy and I were really lucky to have the chance to spend this time with Matt and Meshelle.

We got to see some really cool sites and spend some quality time deciding with each other what direction we want to take in our lives.

It was a very needed vacation that really taught us what is important to us.

Doesn't Christy look super tough holding up San Francisco with her bare hands. She doesn't even look like she is breaking a sweat.

I think that our favorite part of the trip, however, was going home. We were happy to come back and get into our regular routine. When Christy got home, she looked a lot like these Sea Lions that hang out next to Pier 39 at Fisherman's wharf. She slept for hours.

Jessica said...: Wow we are so so so so so different. I HATE coming home from vacations. I go into a little vacation depression for at least a week after I get home from somewhere fun and spend all my time looking up new vacations to take and trying to get them booked. I am in one such depression now, and actually WISH I could be in San Francisco. I love it there!; August 28, 2007 at 12:31:00 PM CDT

Meet the Christensen Family!

Kyle and Christy met in August of 2005, officially started dating on the 5th of July 2006, and got engaged to be married on November 16, 2006.

They were married in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple in American Fork, Utah on the 17th of February, 2007. In June of 2009 we moved to Houston, Texas.

Gabriella was born on December 4. She weighed 8 pounds 1 ounce when she was born and was 20.5 inches long at that time. Since then, she has grown a whole lot and consistently measures in the 100th percentile among children of her age in categories of both weight and height. She loves anything to do with Mickey Mouse. She also loves reading anything she can get her hands on and pretending to be a princess.

Noah was born on July 10. He weighed 8 pounds .08 ounces when he was born and was also 20.5 inches tall. He has a very patient personality and really loves his big sister despite her struggles with no longer being the only child. He also is the teaser of the family.

Lizzie was born on December 17. She weighed in at 5 pounds 12 ounces and was 18 inches long. When she was first born we thought she was going to be our quiet child. Boy were we wrong. She is demanding and will scream at you to let you know she needs some attention. At this point, she is a complete Momma's girl.

In August 2007, Christy started her 2nd year as a 2nd Grade Teacher. She Graduated on April 27, 2007 from BYU with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education. At the end of the 2007-2008 school year Christy retired from teaching and became a stay at home mom.

In April of 2009 Kyle graduated as a Bachelor of Arts in English Education with a Psychology minor. While in his studies at BYU he has had an emphasis in Critical Rhetorical Theory specifically dealing with issues of Class, Gender, and Race in the Literary, Political and Pedagogical realms. Kyle no longer teaches. He has moved on to the Human Resources field. The company he works for now has great benefits and advancement opportunities. We can't wait to see what the future will bring with this new position.

Taylor has graduated high school and no longer lives with us. She will forever have a place in our home though and will always be a part of our family. Good luck to her as she heads off to BYU-I to study Recreational Therapy.
