  • going to Salt Lake to go shopping
  • letting me drive in Issaquah
  • teaching me what faith to be healed means
  • taking me to voice lessons
  • typing my college application when it was too overwhelming
  • going on walks to discuss  "A" and "B"
  • letting me get married in the Manti temple even though it wasn't convenient

Thanks for the wonderful Mother's Day Tribute. It was so special to reminisce about the many wonderful times we have shared together. Being a Mom has been and continues to be my greatest joy. Just 2 more days until I get to see you in England.....I can hardly wait!
