~HAPPY~

The last couple of years my "word" for the year

has centered around doing hard things and

all will work out.

With the commuting and relocation behind us

I decided it was time to to truly

"BE HAPPY".

This year I will focus and work hard on

being happy...with the little things, the big hurdles,

my family, accomplishments, the gospel, the amazing

YW and women I get to serve with, the beauty that

surrounds me and most importantly with

myself.

This quote is perfect for me to remember.

Life has worked out, and now it is time

to embrace life, and be happy.

I am blessed beyond measure.

I am thankful for all that I have been given and

continue to receive.

2013 will be a great year 

full of much happiness!

23 years!

Happy Anniversary!

23 years ago on a snowy day in Boise, Idaho.

Scott and I were married for time and all eternity.

We have moved 14 times in the last 23 years.

Had numerous jobs.

And produced this lovely family.

Happy Anniversary Scott!

I love you!

You are my best friend, a fabulous father and 

a great provider.

Here's to many more years!

Family Photos

After several attempts, we were

finally able to have family photos.

A BIG thank you to

Heather Telford Photography.

Heather did an amazing job!

We are not use to the changing 

weather that Utah has.

The park Heather took us to 

was the perfect setting.

This was the coolest tree 

I have ever seen.

I love this family of mine

and feel so fortunate to have

one spectacular husband

and three amazing children.

This is what it is all about!
