The wedding was the most amazing day! Everything went off perfectly and we are now a family of 9. Jeff's oldest son, Jake, was sick on our wedding day and was unable to attend :( But, all of Jeff's siblings were there and my grandparents made it. Jeff's brother, Gordon, is a bishop and performed the ceremony.
So much has happened since that day...over 14 months ago. First, the kids and I moved to Seattle. It was unbelievably hard to leave our friends and home in Spokane, but it has been a very smooth transition. Heavenly Father blessed us all so much with a wonderful new ward, amazing friends, and a love for Seattle! Wow - Seattle is one beautiful city. Here's a quick recap of the last year:
Jake - got married to Michelle, his high school sweetheart, who we love, love, love. He works for Microsoft and they live nearby.
Ryan Keyes - left on his mission in February 2014. We are so excited for him and look forward to his Monday emails.
Connor Keyes - maintains his 4.0 gpa and loves playing basketball and running track.
Ally Zorich - made varsity on her high school gymnastics team and just made the cheerleading squad for 2014-2015. Way to go!!! She's got her driver's permit and is hoping to get her license this summer.
Nick Zorich - was inducted into the honor society and loves running cross country, playing basketball (he is an amazing point guard!) and is currently playing baseball on a select team. He's just a couple tasks short of his Eagle - which he should earn in the next few months!
Natalie Zorich - continues to be the most social of all the kids with a zillion friends and a playdate scheduled for every day! She has new talents in drama and singing. She recently auditioned and earned a spot in our local community theater's production of Peter Pan.
Adam Zorich - learned he loves books. He is most often found with his nose in one. He has also discovered basketball and plays in a year-round league. He even took a break from baseball this spring to focus on basketball (he usually plays post). He still loves the Boston Red Sox and will literally sit in front of the TV and watch a WHOLE baseball game and then rewind and watch it again!!!
We are busy with work (I still work from home for the Court of Appeals and Jeff works for a software company called, Atlantis Computing -- he spends a lot of time in Silicon Valley!), school, sports, seminary, church, and lots of skiing and boating!
Our next adventure...we just bought a house! It was built in the 1990s and needs lots of updating, but I LOVE the location (right by the church!) I've never had much talent with home improvement, but Jeff loves it, so this will be fun!
