20 Years

Shea said this morning, "We had no business getting married." He was referring to having no home, job, or money. Looking at him in this pic he looks 12. We really had no business getting married, we were to young! BUT OH I AM GLAD WE DID!


And me with my neices and nephews at the time.(The one on my lap is on a mission in London, Jake Judd, the one on the lap next to him is Logan Rogers on a mission in Chili, and the one on the floor in front is Trevor Russell on a mission in Russia.) What a difference 20 years makes.


I can't believe how young everyone looks.











My Dad and me at the reception. My dress was a remake of my moms. I would have worn my moms but it was a bit small through the shoulders. She was one tiny lady.














And then me and my sisters. Aren't they so cute!


I really can't believe it has been 20 years. So much has happened. 6 kids, at least 9 jobs, at least 9 different homes, several different cars, vacations, Shea's education,ups and downs! Through it all I have always been able to be a stay at home mom! Shea has always put the kids and I first. Life is so good and I am thankful I get to spend eternity with him!

MOM

First of all this is Tiffany, and second of all my mom doesn't know I'm doing this, and might not for a while, but i just figured this would be a good way to tell her how much i love her. I know i know mothers day is still a few days away but why not get an early start. My mom means the world to me. She is my best friend. She is the one i ask questions like; Does my hair look ok? Is what i have on ok? Can I go out with friends? It's always about me. . . I rarely take the time to see what she has going on or to listen to her and her needs. And the crazy thing about it is she never complains. . I watch her and think how can she do it all?! She has 6 well 7 kids to worry about right now, a busy body three year old, four teenagers and two talkative girls, one husband like twenty loads of laundry of more a week, meals, house cleaning, calling, and then she needs her time which ends up being the twenty minutes she goes tanning. Mom, i don't tell you enough how much I appreciate you. Thank you for all the times you have left me a note telling me you loved me, cleaning up my room, taking me on little day dates and the list goes on. I don't think that words can express the gratitude i feel for you! As the time for me to leave home is getting closer and closer, I am not sure that I can leave you. Who will be the one to comfort me, or to laugh with me, or cry with me? You are an amazing women. If i grow up to be half the mom, half the wife, half the women you are i will be well off! Thank you for helping me strengthen my testimony, thank you for teaching me how to take care of a home. Mom I love you so much! i hope you have a wonderful mothers day, Love your daughter Tiffany
