Tyler's 23rd birthday!


Tomorrow is another special day in our family. I can hardly believe that my baby is 23! Everyone would agree with me that he is the most fun to be with. He is always keeping us laughing. It has been almost two years since he returned home from his mission in Brazil. That time sure went slower than the last two. I don't have him around all the time but I sure enjoy the time I get. Cell phones make it easier. Tyler is living in Utah and working for Skywest Airlines. A job he loves ( most of the time). His love for travel is only matched by his Father's love of travel. The two of them have been on lots of trips to see the world. I have not always been with them,but it is fun to see them both enjoy the same things together. He also makes it possible for me to travel to see my family. That makes him a wonderful Son. I can be a real part of Katelyn's life because of him, a pretty wonderful gift. He is also so difficult to buy for. I just want to say Happy Birthday! Thanks for all the years of friendship, great laughs, and every day making me proud of the person you are. I hope I get to spend the day with you and share a piece of birthday cake! I love it when I can spoil you just a bit!

A special Day at Seseme Street Live!

I have decided to give this blogging a try. I really enjoy keeping up with family this way, so I have think I will join up!

I have been thinking about how rich my family makes me feel. Wether we are having a good day or one that really tries your patience it is good to have people in your life that make it all worth it.
As of late we have experienced our aches and pains, things I thought we would only have to deal with when we were much older. I don't think they are the kind that will be with us for forever, but it is a glimpse of what our later years could be like. The one thing that I now realize is it is so wonderful to think you have someone who has been through it all with you and will get you through the aging years. Glade has been in pain with his back now for about a month. It is really old for me and I know it is more than old for him. I have tied his
shoes, picked up things, and doing just about everything he can't do for himself. It is not always glamorous! I think that is why God put us together, just to be there for each other. I know my day will come. Good to know he will be there for me as well. Tomorrow is his 53rd birthday and I can never come up with a good present. So I just want to say how much I love him. You really are the love of my life. You always make me laugh. My life is a lot of fun with you.You are a great Husband, Father, and Grandfather. Happy Birthday!
