Thank You, Christy!

Indulge me for just one minute while I say thanks to a certain someone...

First off, Christy, I'm so sorry I wasn't able to say goodbye to you before you left to go back.

Next, thank you so much for the help you provided Nick and I this summer with our kids. You have no idea how grateful I am for your helping hand with both Tanner and Spencer. You have such a way with them that lets me see just a little bit as to what kind of mom you are going to be when the time comes! Not even I can keep Tanner as quiet as you were able to get him during sacrament meeting. That's pretty amazing. I'm grateful that you were so willing to take Spencer as well so that I could play the organ. He's such a cute little baby, isn't he?! I'd like a copy of that picture that Adam took of you and Spencer.

Last, good luck with the coming year. I know you'll do great! Things will go well for you as long as you put the Lord first and rely on Him in all your major decisions. That's what has helped in my life when things get tough! Study hard and have fun! You have the opportunity that I didn't with school. Make the most of it! I love you tons and I'm grateful for the friendship that we share! Enjoy yourself for me! I'll be keeping an eye on you through your blog and through Facebook, so don't do anything I wouldn't be proud of! Until we see you again....
