Devon and Karin Tolley's October Announcement

The Tolley's are doing great. We have two cats Oats and Ruby, they love to play and sleep. We are grateful to be living in our first home for the past year. It is a three bedroom twin home that has amazing views of Utah Lake. Devon recently decided to make a change from going to school at BYU to UVU. His goal is to get his Ph. D. in Anthropology/Humanities with an emphasis in the how the personification of death is used in literature, art, music and culture. UVU has a wonderful integrated studies degree that will allow him to focus on both anthropology, the humanities and thanatology- the study of death and grief. He then wants to get his masters degree in Thanatology at one of the five schools, mostly on the east coast. We will see where we end up. Karin is working for a medical/dental claims clearinghouse keeping their operations department running as well as managing their business analyst/regulations department. She sits on the executive committee which has inspired her to go for her MBA. She is graduating with her bachelors degree in psychology in just a couple of weeks. We thought she might take a break as she has been going to school and working non stop for five years but the MBA program is calling. We have been serving as primary teaches of the CTR 6 class for the past nine months and loving it. We recently had to stop due to Karin being immunocompromised. 

Somewhere in all of this we managed to be blessed with starting our own eternal family. We are expecting the first Tolley baby in early Oct. We are so grateful to have the opportunity to become parents. This is also the reason Karin has become immunocompromised. The Dr.s tell us it isn't a really big deal and can be taken care of after the baby is born but until then she has to avoid children (other than close family members), large groups of people, those who have traveled abroad or to places where there have been outbreaks of MMR or other diseases that people can be immunized for. 

Jordan and Allie Crafton in California

President and Sister Colton and friends,

Life has been crazy for me and my wife Allie this last year. We both graduated from BYU (Allie Dec. 2012 and me April 2013). I applied and got into grad school, moved, and now in June I will complete my first year of Podiatric Medical School at Western University of Health Sciences College of Podiatric Medicine in beautiful Southern California. It's been tough but I'm loving it and I feel that this is what I'm supposed to being pursuing. Allie is working as a writer/editor and as a server at Cheesecake Factory. We have been married for about 3 and a half years.  Being in California has been full of great opportunities to share the gospel for both of us. I have a group that I study with often and they ask questions all the time. I will always be greatful for the opportunity to serve in Florida. It has shaped my life and given me better perspective. I am forever greatful also for the friends I made, for those I served with and around and for those I was able to teach. The gospel of Jesus Christ is true and He lives! Love you guys. Here's our update :)

Jordan and Allie Crafton

Thomas Hamann and Spouse Graduated

Hey,

So my wife and I graduated from Brigham Young University Idaho this month. It was very exciting. Now I'm in the job hunt. A few leads fell through right before graduation, so now we are living in Bakersfield, California with some family. In the mean time I am looking for the right job, and preparing for grad school just in case one doesn't come around. We are considering Oregon State University to get my MBA. We are also preparing for our baby girl to arrive in July! Quite a chaotic point in our lives to be sure, but we are hanging in there! 

Mary (Lane) and Colton Hickman Take Internship in Henderson, Nevada

Life is wonderful! Colton just received a summer internship in Henderson, Nevada working for a company called "Olin Clor Alkali". He will be doing chemical manufacturing. He only has one more year left at BYU before he graduates in Chemical Engineering.

Since we are moving for the summer, I attempted to give my two-weeks-notice at work but instead my boss offered me an opportunity to work remotely from Nevada. I was blown away! We are feeling so blessed and grateful. Everything else is going well. We have lots of family and friends in Utah we will miss over the summer, but we are excited to meet new people and make new friends. 

Colton's health is still great. He gets an MRI every year, and there has been no reappearance of the brain tumor. 

Trevor Andreasen - a Commissioned Officer in US Air Force

I got married on March 28th, 2013 to Jordan Cox from Auburndale, FL, never met her in the mission. Sealed in the Orlando temple on that day.

In the meantime, we are living with my in laws until training, so moving away from UT on the 24th of June. Looking for a job in Florida and looking to work on a masters or a private pilots license.
