Blaine and I were married on Aug. 10, 1982 in the Los Angeles Temple. We have 7 children. I gave birth to 4 and then we adopted a sibling group of 3. We love all of our children so much!! We now have 6 grandchildren. I love the ocean and Catalina is one of my favorites places. Blaine loves the mountains and fishing and hunting, he also loves Catalina. I have traveled across the US on the southern route. We went to college in Rexburg, Idaho when we first got married.
I love December, it's always been my favorite time of year. I eat way too much chocolate and I like to snuggle in my warm bed and I get two weeks off. I am trying to keep the spirit of the Holiday and remember my savior and his life. It helps to be done with Christmas gifts, I start way early and it not only is a financial necessity but it helps me not to have all the stress so I enjoy the month more. We watched It's a Wonderful Life with Zara and Jazmine who had never seen it. We got our Christmas tree and I LOVE the smell in my home. Candi and Mike came down on the 10th for a Christmas dinner. We went to pick up Blaine before Thanksgiving at the LA Airport and his flight was delayed so the girls and I went to the Temple to see the Christmas light. Devonn and Carla gave a us a trip to Disneyland for Christmas and we enjoyed the day so much. I rode Space Mountain with James and Pirates with Andrew. It was a beautiful day, it began to rain around 5 pm but we needed to leave anyway as it was a school night. I am looking forward to Christmas day next week. Emilee and Gary will be down. I miss Quinn and Garrett and my prayers are with both of them with their trials. I will post Christmas Day pics.
I am a wife and mother. I was married in the LA Temple. I have 1 sister and 3 brothers. I love the ocean. I have 7 children, I have 5 grandchildren. It's awesome being a grandmother!
