Thank you so much for taking the time to vote on a nickname. Well, when the polls closed we had a tie! Elska and Roo each earned 9 votes. We got tired of online forms so we thought about how to resolve this. We considered combining the names into Elska-Roo but in the end decided that we just needed ONE nickname. I thought about rolling some dice to choose between the two but it turns out we don't have any dice. So we resorted to a little competition to bring an end to this. We have a game called mancala and we faced off, each taking a side for a nickname. It was rough but we finally reached a decision.
For now, we shall call our daughter....ELSKA!
Keep in mind that this is temporary but this will give you all a name to call her in the meantime. We'll be in touch soon with updates!

Andrea is a mom to two "fur-babies," an amateur seamstress and homemaker a la Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray, a connoisseur of imported beers, an upcoming barista and restaurant manager, a Petlane Pet Advisor, an Icelander at heart, an occasional vegetarian, and a self-proclaimed correcter of grammatical errors (a.k.a. "grammar Nazi"). The intensity of her beauty is matched only by the passion she has for life. And she loves her husband more than life itself (yes, Cody wrote that part).
Cody is 100% lovable nerd and a budding musician. He is a thoughtful theologian, cultural critic, artist at heart, movie trivia buff, and fellow dog lover. He loves adventure, travel and seeking out everything that God has planned for him, which may or may not be his day job as an Academic Advisor at ASU, but it's a good way to pay the bills for now. His biggest desire is to go to seminary (although this really depends on the day) and his sense of humor is one of many things that others love most about him. He takes amazing care of his wife and their "fur-kids" (though he prefers to be called a "dog owner." Whatever.). He loves his wife more than life itself (he wrote that all on his own).
Together, the Alleys are navigating this thing called life by seeking out the Lord's guidance and wisdom. They love getting to know each other more and more every day. There is so much to learn and experience and this is where you'll find their journey.
