Hola!
Welcome to our family and all of it's fun adventures! We are four souls with a passion for life. This site has become a fun undertaking for us as we work on improving our family journaling.
Our story begins back in in the summer of 2013 when Lauren and I (Pierce) met back in Utah. Lauren was working at Aspen Grove and I was a guest. This led to our first date, where I took Lauren fishing. The relationship blossomed as Lauren attended BYU and I transfered over, and amazing things happened. A year and a half later, we were sealed in the Manti Utah Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for time and all eternity.
We're excited to share our stories, and make something beautiful together.
Hello hello!
My name is Pierce. I am currently (as of January 2020) 29 years old, blond with blue eyes, and a dad. In 2009-2012, I served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the California San Jose area, Spanish speaking. I graduated from BYU in 2016 with a degree in Political Science, co-founded a company called Neonatal Rescue, and accepted a commission from the U.S. Army to serve as an Infantry Officer. Since then, I attended a few Army Schools like: Special Forces Combat Dive, Ranger school, Airborne, and Air Assault. Now, I'm serving my term of service with my family here at Schofield Barracks on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. I stand on the advisory board to OPISAC and love to engage with people in the community. I love the shared experiences that can be found in life when people come together. In between all that I enjoy doing a lot of reading, beaching, exploring new places, and watching Star Wars with my wife. I love my wife, she's way cooler than me.
Aloha!
I'm way cooler than Pierce. As of this post, I'm 24 years old, and I love my family way too much. Since marrying Pierce, I've followed him to live in five different homes, three different states and spent time in several awesome vacation spots around the world. I'm the oldest of four siblings, so I love to be in charge, but I've learned over the years that it's much better to take a back seat, and let Heavenly Father take the wheel and steer us where he wants us to be. I graduated from BYU in 2016, and finished my MA in Interior Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design in December of 2018. I've worked in the Interior Design industry since 2014, and am so lucky to now be working for myself in my own interior design business, L. Bennett Interiors. I'm a full time mom, and part time designer, and I wouldn't trade being Oliver's Mommy for anything.
AHH!
I'm Ollie! I'm almost 8 months old, and I love to talk, jump, and sing. I also really love to scoot around the house, and explore all the cool stuff that Mom and Dad try to keep hidden from me. I have 5 teeth, and my favorite food is toast. My favorite place is the beach, or Mom/Dad's lap. Finn is my best friend, and we love to cuddle every day.
Woof!
Don't be fooled by my place on this family list, I am the first born, and the elder brother. I love it when Mom and Dad take me to the beach, or the dog park, but I also love to nap next to Oliver, and chew on my bone. I've never met a stranger, and everyone is my friend.
