The last ten years have flown for us. After high school, I went to Utah State for two years. In the summer of 2000 I came home and started working as a Real Estate Asst.; that same month one of my really good friends and soon to be hubby came home after serving for two years in the Bristol, England LDS Mission. We were married September of that summer. During this time I worked for NuSkin Ent. and had our first child two years after we were married. Jake, worked for Kevin Scholz Architecture Firm for two years and then we headed up to University of Utah where Jake was accepted to the Arch + Design Program. We lived in Sugar House for four years, and loved it. 
We had our second child, Holden the summer after Jake's first year of his BS.
During this time, Jake was able to travel to Spain to study Architecture as well as Japan the next year where I was able to visit for 10 days as well. We had some great experiences while in school, but I can gladly say it's OVER!
Jake received his BS and MA from the U of U and graduated as one of the top in his class. After graduating and sifting through different offers, we decided to come back to work for Kevin Scholz at Sholz & Associates in Provo. We were excited that our kids would be able to play outside more and have more opportunity to live the lifestyle we wanted them to have.
About one month before the U of U started back up, the school contacted Jake and offered him a teaching position for the First Year Arch. Students teaching the Studio Class. This was a huge opportunity for him and of course he took it. What turned out to be supposedly temporary has turned into something he loves and will continue to do; being that they want him to continue teaching three times a week during the school year. Busy!
Just before Jake went into his final year of his Master's, I started selling Lia Sophia. It gave me the opportunity to get out of the house 1-2 nights a week and still stay at home with my kids while my husband finished school. I have now been with the company for two years and it has done great things for us. I really enjoy it, and the opportunity I have had to travel, and meet amazing women. I am now a Unit Manager and love the results that have come from it. Check out my website @ www.liasophia.com/audragines!!!
Last May right after Jake graduated, I competed in my first Triathlon down in St. George UT. It was a great experience and is something I will probably try to do the rest of my life, I am also coaching my little sister's softball team this summer, which if you know me, I love and has proven to be a lot of fun. Jake and I are both planning in running in the Hobble Creek Half this coming August!
We have been blessed and I'm grateful for all the things we've accomplished!
