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.

I graduate from BYU on June 20th with a degree in Spanish and minor in Aerospace Studies.

I commission as an officer in the United States Air Force on June 20th.

I go to Undergraduate Pilot training on March 5, 2015 and will be there for a year and a half for training, then to where ever the Air Force sends me.

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.



Gabriel and Roxanne Hess Going Gang Busters

Life is going well for Roxanne and myself here in Denver, Colorado. I am closing out my first year of graduate seminary here at Iliff School of Theology, working on my Masters of Divinity. Roxanne and I are very involved in our ward, Washington Park, which is a largely downtown ward. She has a calling in the Relief Society, I am in the Elder's quorum presidency, and we both have a joint calling as Gospel Doctrine teachers. We both have several jobs—I work as a swim instructor now and I also drill with the Army Reserves (my role there is as a chaplain candidate, essentially a chaplain resident/intern with the Army). Roxanne now has four jobs: math tutor, Macy's employee, garden center employee, and landscaping. She just finished out her semester at BYU-Idaho's online program, so she's happily working away.
I leave this summer, in 3 1/2 weeks, to do the Army's entire chaplaincy training, which will last three months and will take place at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. After this I will be 'branch qualified' as a chaplain in the Army, although I will not be eligible to actually be a full-fledged chaplain until I have finished my graduate seminary education, two years from now.
We are enjoying life together. We are happy, spring is in the air, and life is wonderful!


Sister Dorothy Erdman Explores Southern Utah

No news here, & at my stage of life, that's probably good news!  I enjoy seeing your posts on facebook--I hope you both are well & enjoying a beautiful spring.  I just returned frrom 2 1/2 weeks in Payson with Heidi--We made it to Capitol Reef & also Zion while I was there.  We love Southern Utah & all its exciting places, many of which were new to me when I was a student at BYU taking herpetology & geology fieldtrips.  We're hoping to go back to Arches this fall.

Trenton Gates to Graduate from Snow College

May 3, 2014 I will be graduating from Snow College. After two amazing and interesting years here I am glad to be done and moving on with my education. As of right now I applied for an Associate of Science in Construction Management. However, at the end of this summer I plan to take the BYU Foreign Language Test and change my AS to and Associate of Arts. After Snow College I am going to attend Utah State University this coming fall semester. At USU I will be working on my Bachelor of Landscape Architecture; I plan being at Utah State for 4 years. This summer I will be moving to Springville, Utah. I will be working in Provo, Utah at Provo Parks and Recreation during the day on a landscape crew and Seven Peaks Waterpark as security during the evenings.  New adventures and new experiences await me.
