What We've Been Up To...Kara (Allred) Andrus!

As the reunion really starts to fill up, I am loving these updates that keep rolling in!  Our next one...Kara (Allred) Andrus!

After graduating I headed up to USU for college. I'd planned to major in Theatre Education. A year later I switched to History Education, and a year later went to Accounting. After 3 years I had a lot of various credits and no degree lol.
But back to the start- I met my husband Nate my very first day up there, I just didn't know it yet. He was my roommate's sister's boyfriend's roommate/friend and came over to help my roommate set up her computer. I paid no attention but after he left my roommate told me he had said I was cute and she'd given him our number. After a couple months of him losing our number over and over I finally took things into my own hands, went to where he worked, and asked him when we were going to go out. It went pretty quickly after that. First date in October, engaged in February, and married in the Idaho Falls Temple July 18, 2003. A beautiful sunny perfect day.
We both continued to go to school and work. September 27, 2004 we welcomed our first son Jason into the family. A few years later Nate graduated with a degree in Computer Science and got a job in Pocatello, ID. We moved up there 2 weeks after our second son Jacob was born June 1, 2006. We bought our first house and I started doing in-home childcare to help out. Even though we loved being in Idaho, the job opportunities are better around SLC, so New Year's Day 2008 Nate accepted a job down here and in 2 weeks we were back in Utah. We spent 2 long months living with my family in Riverton before the house in ID sold and we were able to buy a new home in West Jordan. A few days before moving into our new home we found out we were expecting baby #3. Another boy, Nathan, joined us November 13, 2008.
Life went on, I continued doing in home child care part-time and enjoying my little boys. I also prepared to go back to school at SLCC to work towards an associates degree in Computer Information Systems, which I surprisingly love and have no plans of changing this time. I started Fall of 2010 at the same time we found out that baby #4 we were expecting was actually babies #4 and #5! Our twin boys (yep, all boys!), Isaac and Caleb, were born big and healthy January 10, 2011.
Life continues to go by so quickly I can hardly keep up, but I'm loving it. My boys are now 7, 5, 3, and the twins are 1. They keep me busy but bring us so much joy. Nate has a great job that supports us so I can stay home with my children. I'm still in school part-time, slowly working towards my degree. I live a pretty normal, quiet life but I wouldn't want it any other way.
