| My Parents with Grayson the day he was born |
My mom is crafty, talented, a wonderful teacher, and so much more. She taught me how to pay piano, sew, has helped me make quilts, make salsa, jam, syrup and can it, and more. She has always served willinging. She is an outstanding woman.
My dad taught us the importance of hard work, managing our finances, savings, doing service, becoming self sufficient, and more. He has a great sense of humor, a wonderful singing voice, and much wisdom.
Both my parents have taught me from a very young age, the importance of the Gospel in my life. I was raised knowing that my family is an eternal one, that the Lord has a plan for all of us, and that we must not only believe in Christ, but live as he would have us. They set an example to Mike and I in our marriage. They taught our Temple Preparation class and they have always challenged us to be sure we are living our life in a way that we are worthy to receive the blessings that the Lord bestows upon us.
Grayson's middle name of Keith, is after my father. It was important to Mike that Grayson be named after him. Mike's dad was not around when he was growing up, and he really looks up to my dad.
I really believe the Lord knew what he was doing when he gave me the parents that he did. I am so grateful for all that they have done for me.
