The Love of My Life

I am a lucky gal, I am the first to admit it! I have had a very happy life. I had a wonderful childhood with loving parents and siblings. First and foremost is my love for our Savior and His sacrafice for all mankind. I must say though, that the love of my life, my soul mate and confidant is Nick. We are like two peas in a pod. We were raised pretty much the same way, we have the same goals in life and truly love each other. That isn't to say we haven't had problems or trials in our life, but together we have seen them through, and they have made us stronger I think. We are not perfect, but we are perfect for each other. I hope you enjoy some of these pictures of Nick. This probably will embarrass him, so let's keep this blog a secret until I print it into a book at the end of this year, until then, this is just between you and me.

Nick at about 1 1/2
This picture was printed in the Instructor Church magazine in the late 50's or early 60s. (The instructor magazine was replaced by the Ensign magazine years later).

Picture of our wedding reception. What a lovely day that was, the beginning of an eternal family.

I love this picture--Brion, Nick and Jarom up at the Lehi Cemetary.

I admire Nick so much. We decided that he needed to finish his college degree and so he went back to school (which took about 2 years) and graduated when I was pregnant with Brett. That is pretty hard to do with four children. I love the look on Brion's face. The kids were so proud of him that day as was I and his mother who was watching from heaven.

This is on top of Deseret Peak with Brett. Nick has always loved hiking in the mountains. He goes every year (except last year) backpacking into the Unitas and he climbs to the top of Timp each year. This was his first climb up Deseret Peak.

Nick loves his children and grandchildren. They bring so much happiness into our lives. Here is a sweet picture of Allie, Papa and Dax. Allie and Dax are just a few weeks apart.
