Here is the fam bam. Each of us are blonde and blue eye. We used to joke that we would be Hitlers favorite family. We are from Utah and we are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). I honestly can't imagine my life without any one of them. The picture in the top right is pre Lizzie and Lauren. I remember thinking that we had a perfect sized family, and my mom said they wouldn't have anymore. Elizabeth was a complete surprise. I remember sitting at the dinner table one night and somehow my mom or dad let it slip that mom was pregnant. I can't imagine what life would have been like without my beautiful mini me. After they had Lizzie, they decided they needed to give her a little friend - so along came Lauren. She is the child with the most personality and energy. Isaac does come in for a close second..
Our parents have separated, and this has been something that has been tough on us all. I have written how I feel about it in this post below.
Mommy and Daddy
Daddy, I am always going to be your little girl, even when I pretend I'm all grown up and that "I know everything." I love that you have supported our family through everything. I love that you always tried to take care of me wether it was in school, with my ambitions or when I was crying because I crashed a car.. I love that even when I didn't understand what you were doing for me, that you always had my best interest in mind. I'm grateful that you listened to the spirit when making the decision to move our family to South Jordan. That decision resulted in me finding my best friends in the whole entire world. The ones that have shaped me and been there for me since I was a senior in high school. And, even the one I eventually married. I love that you taught me how to serve others through a life of example.. I love that you work hard. I love that you are always trying to grow in knowledge. I love that the first thing you said to me after hitting you in the head with a golf club was to "never stop golfing." I love that you will still pick me up like I'm your little girl even still today. I love that you taught me how to budget, and that you didn't let me leave our house without a file-box to keep important things. I still use it to this day. I love that you would take me to jazz games at random and sit in the nose bleeds. I love our late double feature movie nights. I love your love for music. I love that you always tried to give me opportunities. I love that even though our relationship has not been the easiest, I know that you love me more than anyone on this earth. I love that you are my earthly Father.
Mommy, you are one of my best friends. You have shown me pure love and charity. I am so blessed to have you in my life. I love that you gave up so much to join the church. I love that you gave up your parents money to go on a mission. I love that you've been an example of going to church every week. I love that you are still beautiful with a glass eye. I love that you have stayed strong in the gospel no matter what criticism you have received from you family. I love that you serve others daily, and how it is always your first instinct. I love that you always see the best in me, and make me want to be a better person. I love that when I moved away to college you still called me and thought of me daily. I love that you missed me singing early in the morning. I love our trips to the grocery store. I love the talks we have on the phone. I love that you love me for me. I love that you have supported my ambitions and hopes. I love you for being my earthly mother.
