Happy 7th Anniversary! "2 Us"

   A couple of days after the Anniversary, we were driving to work at the Cebu Mission Office in the temple complex. Will saw a man walking down the street with a bucket of flowers on his shoulder. Yes, he stopped and bought some for me. He knows me pretty well.

  

  The past 7 years have been good to us.

       Will and I have served two missions together: 

One to Rome, Italy

and one to Cebu, Philippines

We have served together in the Jordan River Utah Temple, 

and in the Draper, Utah Temple

We have been Home Teaching partners, 

and filled a stake calling together with the Single Adults, 

and a ward calling together with the Activities Committee.

Since our wedding, we have added:

5 grandchildren: Blake, Ellie, Nathan, Rachel, and Faith. 

 Blake

Ellie

 Nathan

Rachel

Faith

We have two grandsons in the mission field. 

Elder Austin Hollingsworth

Elder Hunter Hull

A step-grandson has been added: Hunter Tavoian

We even have an adopted-in grandson: Steve Corry

We have been blessed to travel around and see family often. 

We try to be there for baptisms, baby blessings, endowments, and weddings. 

We have missed some of these important events as we have served in the mission field.
That sacrifice has been a hard one, but necessary, and we appreciate the understanding of our families.

Our hearts were in attendance.

We travel, we work on our home, yard, workshop, and cabin, 

but nothing is more important to us than the gospel of Jesus Christ and our precious family. 

This is our kitchen wall in Cebu Philippines.
It is our way to take our family with us wherever we go.

On this mission, we are blessed to have been tutored more fully in how to be exalted. 

That is our prime goal in this life.
