What's better than sitting to watch a movie with mom and dad? A movie AND popcorn! Lay the blanket down, pop a bag, grab some bowls, and everybody is content.

Travis & Katie - Beginnings
Katie and I met in our singles ward at BYU. One week after our first date (1st was September 4, 2003) we were 'going out.' Two weeks later we were unofficially engaged and 1 week later it was official. We were married in the Idaho Falls Temple December 19, 2003.

Christian Vance was born October 21, 2004 at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo, Utah. Katie and I were both going to school full-time. Surprisingly, she and I both got some of the best grades of our college careers that semester.

Braxton Paul was born September 27, 2006 at Orem Community Hospital. Katie and I were still students at the time, although Katie had taken that semester off. Times were still tough, but we got through ok (As Braxton is proof).

Submitting to the Will of the Savior
“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar...the many other things we give to God, however nice they may be to us, are actually things He has already given us, and He has loaned them to us. But when we begin to submit ourselves by letting our wills be swallowed up in God’s will, then we are really giving something to Him. And that hard doctrine lies at the center of discipleship. There is a part of us that is ultimately sovereign, the mind and the heart, where we really do decide which way to go and what to do. And when we submit to His will, then we’ve really given Him the one final thing He asks of us. And the other things are not very, very important. It is the only possession we have that we can give, and there is no lessening of our agency as a result. Instead, what we see is a flowering of our talents and more and more surges of joy. Submission to Him is the only form of submission that is completely safe.”

Worth-mentioning Thoughts
"Do not suppose God willfully causes that which for His own purposes He permits."
"There is no chance, no fate, no destiny that can circumvent, or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul."
"No man stands taller than the one on his knees."
"Repentence takes care of the past, faith the future, and the Holy Ghost helps us with today."
"When doing the work of the Lord, the force in front of you is never as great as the power behind you."
"The closest distance between a problem and solution is the distance between your knees and the floor."
"With God, nothing is impossible."
"My strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure."
"Do not pray for a lighter burden - pray for a stronger back."
"Thank God for what you have; trust God for what you need."

Our Destiny
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
