The Farnsworths

Ben and I met at our siblings wedding, my older brother is married to his older sister. But we didn't start dating until the weekend of his other sisters wedding a month later. Needless to say we're a very close family, it's a lot of fun.

I am a stay-at-home mother with our four-year-old daughter, Lorna. She is all girl, she loves pink, princesses and ballet. She's a joy and is very excited to be getting a baby brother this year for Christmas.

Along with the ROTC program Ben is in the National Guard and plans to have a civilian job as a seminary teacher for the LDS church when he graduates from USU. He loves being a student and teaching, it is his passion. Ben has enjoyed his involvement in the Army, he is proud to serve his country and we are more then willing to support him.

As a family we enjoy visiting our extended family, going to concerts/musicals, being involved in our church, reading and enjoy the outdoors. For me that means going on a nice walk in the canyon, but Ben and Lorna would prefer to go camping and fishing. As long as we're together it really doesn't matter.

The Millers

Hi, I am Deborah, my husband is Seth, my son (who just turned 2) is Jaxon and we are expecting another baby boy May 1, 2010. We are currently stationed here in Logan, Utah for the next 2 and 1/2 years.

Are you ready for this? Seth was born in Massachusetts, but grew up in Utah, I was born in Colorado but also grew up in Utah. Seth and I met online back in December of 2003, Seth was just finishing up OCS and was headed home to Utah for a months worth of leave. When Seth got home to Utah we dated for two weeks and got engaged. We were married February 2, 2004 in Louisville, Kentucky, while Seth was stationed at Fort Knox, KY for AOBC.

In May 2004 we both moved to Butzbach, Germany (Ray Barracks) for 3 years. While living in Germany Seth was deployed for 13 months to Iraq. Not long after he got home, we got pregnant and moved to Sierra Vista, AZ for 6 months so that Seth could complete the Captain's Career Course, Jaxon was also born there. When Jaxon was about 1 month old we moved to Fort RIley, KS, about 3 months later Seth was deployed again to Iraq for a 12 month tour. When Seth got home (June 2009) we moved HERE to Logan, Utah, where we purchased our first home and where we will hopefully be spending a total of 3 years.. It's been a busy, hard, adventurous and exciting 6 years.

Seth enjoys playing video/computer games, music, snowboarding, doing jobs to improve our house and most of all hanging out with me and Jaxon. I enjoy anything that sparks my creativity (i,e scrapbooking, crafts, decorating my house), fishing, camping, seeing new places, horseback riding (I had a horse for 13 years growing up), watching movies, hanging out with Jaxon everyday, being A MOM and spending time with Seth. Jaxon is such an adorable, sweet natured boy, he loves to play, learn the alphabet, watch cartoons, read books and most of all spend time with his Mom and Dad.

We are excited to be welcoming another little boy to our family in May and really enjoy living in Utah and being so close (an hour drive, to be exact) to the majority of our family. If any of you need any advice, friendship, tips or help with adjusting to the military lifestyle, feel free to ask! We'd love to help give you an idea of what it's like. The military life is HARD, but also very rewarding and exciting.

The Millers-

The Kimballs

John is from Layton, UT and is the 10th out of 11 kids. He has always wanted to serve in the military. I (April) am from Salem, UT and am the 4th out of 7 kids. (The middle child!) We both are attending Utah State University with about 3-4 semesters left, John in Industrial Hygiene/Public Health and I am going into Elementary Education.

We met in a country swing dance class two years ago and have been enjoying dancing with each other since! We both love the outdoors and going on adventures like rock climbing and river boarding. We have a pet rabbit named Rocky, he's a great little buddy to have around. Oh, and we currently live in a house that looks like a barn next to campus. :) So that's us in a nutshell.

Robert & Shawna Roberts

The Roberts family came from a four year tour in Baumholder, Germany now actively stationed here in Utah. We have three children. Tylee is 12, Victoria is 11, and Garrett is 9 years old. We have two dogs and no other animals. We listen to all kinds of music, watch different things on the T.V. and enjoy all positive types of people. We are open and honest types of people and will tell you no lies. Any questions anyone wants to know about the active duty life, just ask.

Brandon & Brianna Crane

Brandon is from Texas and I am from Cache Valley. We met because Brandon's cousin asked me to start writing Brandon while he was serving an LDS mission. We wrote for almost two years and became really good friends. When he got home we dated and then were engaged shortly after that! We have been married for four, wonderful years! We have a sweet little girl who is almost 18 months old. We are expecting our second little girl in April 2010 and can't wait!

As a family we LOVE to be outside. We love to be in the mountains or around water. We are usually teasing each other, and we love to laugh! Brandon is a huge sports fan, so you can often find us either watching a game on TV or outside trying to play together. (Yes, even with our little girl!) We love to make things together, especially if it means Brandon gets to use his tools. We love spending time together as a family, even if we aren't doing anything too extravagant.

Brandon plans on being active duty in the Army as soon as he graduates. He is not totally set on a certain career in the Army yet, but we are having a lot of fun exploring our options. Brandon is very passionate about his country and the freedoms that we enjoy. Being in the Army is a perfect fit for him! We are excited to get him done with school, and to see what new adventures are ahead of us!

Jamen & Krista Woodstock

Jamen attended Dixie State College in St. George, UT, before his mission, and one of the classes that he took was fitness center. He happened to fail that class before going on his mission to Ohio/Kentucky, so when he returned, he thought it would be a good idea to retake fitness center so he could get that "F" off his transcript. Well, I just happened to be working at the fitness center, and he would tell you that I was so taken with his muscles that I fell in love at first sight, but that's not true. It's true that I liked him instantly, but it wasn't because of his muscles, it was because he was and is so hot! Anyway, we dated for 12 DAYS and then got engaged. After being engaged for about two months, we were married on August 9, 2002. Our first son, Toren, was born ten months later! Then we had Ander two years after that, and finally our third and final boy, Kai, was born two and a half years after that. It's definitely been a very busy seven years of marriage.

We've lived in St. George, UT; Ivins, UT; Nibley, UT; and now Logan, UT! Jamen and I enjoy going to movies together, hiking, eating out, biking, going to USU sports games, and just about anything else with our boys. We love going on cruises and so far we've been to the Bahamas and Hawaii-both very fun! One of the most daring things we did together in the Bahamas was parasailing, and although I will not put my face under water, Jamen loves to snorkel. He even attempted surfing in Hawaii.

Mostly, we're a very laid back couple and love to be at home, in our comfy clothes, watching movies, and surfing the net! Our three boys are the lights of our lives and we are so excited for them to keep growing. One of the most rewarding things as a parent is to see your children grow and become their own individual.
