25 years later
Today I turn 45, wow, where has the years gone. I am so grateful to my parents who brought into this world. Who for 19 years gave me a roof over my head, food and clothing. Who taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our home, who set Christ like examples, magnified their callings and loved their children. I am grateful for the years I lived in their home, for the memories of the family vacations to Disneyland, Kansas, Missouri many trips to Utah, and the trips around Colorado in our Chitty van and pop up tent. I am grateful for and love my own family, for my husband who was raised in the Gospel, who served a mission, who honors his priesthood, magnifies his callings, is a good husband, father and grandfather, and an awesome provider. For my children, and grandchildren, for my trials and for my blessings. I'm thankful for all my family and friends, you helped make me who I am today.

Those are some great pictures! That calendar is really awesome. Was that from Grandma? Anyway, I'm glad you're here, too!
