Grant's 24th Birthday!

Happy 24th Birthday Grant! We celebrated by playing tennis, swimming, shopping and exploring Phoenix and even going out to eat to Grant's favorite restaurant Sweet Tomatoes.  I made Grant waffles for breakfast in bed and he opened birthday presents. I got him some new shirts to wear for work.  Sunday night the Grahams invited us over for dinner and made Grant the perfect dinner. They had decorated their house, made enchiladas, and had cake and ice cream. Then they gave Grant presents of a candy bar poster and other gifts. It was so nice to be around family and get to know the Grahams and Grandma Excel better. 

Moving to Anthem

Grant started his internship with American Express so we made the move to Anthem. We love our new vacation home which has everything we ever need and more. We explored the community center and we love playing tennis and swimming. We had a mini miracle happen when we went to church our first Sunday. We happened to go to the wrong ward and we met Bishop Smith and his wife Camie. He happens to work for American Express and they have been so kind to us. They got to know our situation and offered to let us borrow their sons car for a few days while he was out of town. It was a miracle because I was able to go to my job interview, go shopping, get groceries, get Grant's birthday presents, and even go to the Phoenix temple. We hope that in 20 years we will be like that kind couple who helped us out when we didn't have any connections.  We made sushi for the first time and it was delicious!
