Sweet 65! (Like Sweet 16 Only Much Better)

I want to wish a Very Happy Birthday to one of the Greatest People I know!  Sixty-Five years ago this sweet and wonderful person was born.  She was raised in a very rural (remote) area. (I wanted to say town, but I don't think a house next to the railroad tracks constitutes a town.)  Rode the bus to school, had to get her water from the water car that came in on the train.  If a train came by they had to grab all the breakables so they wouldn't fall and shatter.  After getting married to her High School Sweetheart, she was blessed with 4 boys.  I say blessed in the loosest manner possible.  Instead of tea parties or whatever it is girls do, she had to learn how to calm her nerves watching her sons play football, Jr. Jazz Basketball, Little League Baseball and for most of them wrestling.  She has learned to endure and enjoy fishing, camping, 4-wheeling, and can out shoot most guys. 

She has worked nearly her entire married life.  She specifically found jobs that would allow her to go into work early so she could be off early to be home when her sons arrived home from school.  She has gone on field trips, attended school plays and musicals, band concerts, and has cheered family on at just about every sport offered in Nephi.  She has traveled the state to support her children and grandchildren. 

She worries and cares about everyone, even if she just met you.  Which shows in heart of gold, that is as soft as a marshmallow!  She cares for everyone and would do anything for you!

She loves to go on vacation and is game to travel anywhere.  But beware, if she has traveled somewhere, you will be up early.  There is no time to sit around and do nothing when there are new places to go and new things to see.





I want to wish a Very Awesome and Happy Birthday to my best friend, my mom!  Happy Birthday Momma!  Love you!
