Beginnings

Scott grew up in the small town of Green River, Wyoming. Sundy Grew up in another small town in another state. NO one could imagine that the two of them would meet, fall in love, and marry. But they did. Sundy was attending BYU, majoring in music education, when the Holy Ghost prompted her to move back home with her parents. She did, believing that she would never find "Mr. Right" in Grand Junction, Colorado. In the mean time, Scott returned "home" from serving an honorable mission in Brazil to a new city where his parents had moved while he was serving the Lord. He joined the student ward and was assigned to be a home teacher to Sundy. A month after they began dating, Scott proposed, and less than 6 months later, they were sealed by Sundy's grandfather, in the Denver Temple, for time and all eternity in 1995.

Shortly after their marriage, Sundy graduated from Mesa State College with a BA in music education. Scott followed soon after with a BBA in buisness management. During Sundy's first year of teaching she gave birth to a beautiful little girl. They named her Kiara Lea DeGooyer. A year and a half later, they had their second daughter, Katia Rae DeGooyer. Soon after Katia was born they moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2000.
Sundy decided to stay home and raise her children while Scott worked nights at Caesar's Palace and went to UNLV during the day for an MBA in marketing. Scott graduated with his MBA in 2002 and continued to work for Caesar's Palace as a manager for another 5 years. When Kiara and Katia started school, Sundy also went back to teaching elementary music. She loves teaching at the same school her daughters attend!
