Jake's Mucho Back Hair

Before

Jake crossed uncharted waters and had is back waxed for Mexico. I do not think he realized what he got himself into but he became aware of it very quickly. I was pretty proud of him, he never once said a curse word nor did he scream, at least not that loud. The Senioritas better watch out for this hot stud!

After

Love Story

Last night, I found a book titled Leaves of the Lindon Tree. Its a collection of recollections from residents of Lindon, Utah which grandpa and grandma Rodeback contributed to. As I read their history of growing up and finding each other, I shed many tears thinking of the love they had for each other and how much I miss my grandma. This is what my grandma said about meeting my grandpa. I was working in a cafe in Pleasant Grove when Charles came in. My sister and I worked there for awhile and he came in with his friend. I looked at my sister and I said,"Umm, I'll take the little one, and you take the other one." Charlie was the little one. We met later at a dance in American Fork. He asked to take me home, and we became an item after that. What a sweet story this is and one that I will cherish. She finishes their part in the book by saying, We celebrated our fiftieth wedding anniversary on February 11, 2003. We have had many good years together and hope to enjoy more years with each other. And hope to spend more years living here in Lindon. Today they would have celebrated 56 years of marriage but I know that grandma still keeps watch over grandpa and waits for their reunion. You never know when loved ones will leave your life but I am grateful for the impact my grandma made on my life and for the tender mercies we all enjoy daily.

Happy 37 Years of Marriage

What an amazing love my parents have for each other and I hope many more for them. Lucky for me I get to see this everyday and their example of a happy marriage. I can only hope for the same thing for me when the time is right. I love my parents and thank my Heavenly Father that I was able to be their child and to be part of this family.

Red Rocks

The weather in Colorado lately has been fantastic. We had a record high of 70 degrees last week. What an amazing winter! I could not stay indoors anymore so I persuaded a friend to join me on a hike to Red Rocks. It was such a gorgeous day with the blue sky behind the rocks without a cloud in the sky. I better enjoy this while I can because the weather can always change in an instant around here.

Cheese Fountain Anyone?

Isn't this the most amazing thing you have ever seen. Seeing and tasting it was even more fantastic. The next challenge will be to see what else we can send through the fountain.
