On Saturday, March 22, 2014 my dad would have been a mere 56 years old. I thought about him all day Saturday, choking back tears as I remembered the good times and the times that weren't so good. I was a bit of a handful and Dad and I clashed at a lot of points in my life, but we always came out friends. He was so proud of me and my brother. We were his treasures. I started looking at pictures and put together a memory book. For all those who remember my dad, he was the most selfless man I know. He didn't always go to church and he had some bad habits, but I love him and he loved me! I remember going on vacation EVERY summer. Hence the reason I feel it important to take my kids on vacation or camping as much as possible. Those are the best memories and I am so thankful that I have those memories. For those of you who have lost a father, it feels like you are abandoned and especially when you are still a kid yourself. I was 20 when dad died and just experienced the loss of my first child. I felt robbed for many reasons, but after working through a lot of feelings for 15 years and withstanding other losses during that time I have come to realize that no one gets out alive and all too soon we will see them again! I love the atonement and I love the Gospel. I love my Dad, that is all!

16 Years Down...Hopefully Many More than 16 to go!!
Jared is always telling me this is the year he is going to die...the reason: My dad died 6 months after he turned 41. Jared turned 41 in December, however, I really doubt he is going to die this year. I always wonder if he is secretly hoping he will follow in my dad's footsteps for two reasons: To have peace and quiet to read his never-ending book list or to prove he was right...HE LOVES TO BE RIGHT! :) He also thinks I am jinxed because all the men in my family have died young...I told him it was them that was jinxed. ;)
Tomorrow (yes Valentine's Day) is our 16th anniversary. We were married 2-14-98 in SLC. I am looking forward to this upcoming year with this handsome, genuine man. We have many things to get accomplished and I am happy to have him at my side. I love him more with each passing year. He is a wonderful husband and an amazing father. It is fun to fall into a pattern of "life" with a companion and know they are going to be there with you for eternity even if they "check out early" like my dad! Eternity is a long time and I am grateful for it. I love you, Jared Daniel, to Eternity and back.
