Ahh the Week of Love

I must say as a child valentines day did not hold a lot of magic for me. As a young adult there was magic to a small degree, it wasn't until I met the man of my dreams that the mystery of the day became apparent. I am fortunate to have a husband who is a kind, loving man. One who puts others first and strives to make those around him happy. As our family has grown so has our love it is deeper and stronger and for that I am grateful!

As I reflect on my children and the great strengths they have I am in awe...Tarin is a beautiful mother of three! She is such an example of courage, strength and resourcefulness. She works hard everyday to raise her children in an enviornment of love and joy. Marc her husband works hard to provide for his family, he is generous with his time and is always willing to help others. I am so grateful they have each other.

Kiley is working on her Masters at BYU, she works hard and pushes herself daily. I love watching her as she comes upon a challenge...she can be a force to be reckon with...I just try to stay out of her way! As a little girl she always wanted to do better and be better. I can't wait to see what the next few months will bring. Kiley is currently looking for a job, whoever hires her will be fortunate to have a great employee.

Ashley has always beent he adventurous one...I learned quickly not to say no to her because she would find a way to do it no matter what the cost. She could find joy in what ever circumstance she was in, and she would try to help others she her joy. Ashley is currently serving a mission in Cleveland, Ohio she serves part-time in the Church Historial sites.

Matthew...what can I say bringing him into the world was a challenge...once he was here he made our family complete. He is a good son and strives to do what is right, he is currently preparing himself to serve a mission and he is playing golf for BYUH, he has a great life living in Hawaii playing golf everyday. Most people work thier whole life to retire and play golf, Matthew goes to college and lives a dream at 18.

This week I want my family to know how much I love them, they are my reason for living...they inspire to be better, they are my heros!

Now if I could figure out how to post pictures, there would be some...I will figure this out soon.
