No pictures today! No video to view. I just wanted to write a quick thank you letter to Heavenly Father. I sat down tonight after putting all the girls to bed for the third night in a row with out my lover Amber. Amber has been anxiously engaged in planning Girls Camp with a bunch of meetings to get things ready for next week. I sat down and started to think to myself how on earth does my wife do it. How does she keep up with these young little spirits. How does she clean the house, watch half the neighborhood, magnify her calling in young womens, take the kids to the library, to the parks, take them on bike rides, and still find time to brush their teeth, comb their hair, read scriptures, say their prayers and bath them, and when I lay my head down and begin to close my eyes after a somewhat easy day at work she says "We need to help so and so, their life is crazy right now". Can you pick up flowers tomorrow for so and so she is not having a good week". and some times this, "Don't be mad we are watching so and so tomorrow for three days their mom is having a hard time, I though we could help because we are so blessed with a slow paced life and easy kids". Amber is amazing not only is she a great mother and friend to all the people around her she is a AMAZING Best friend to me. I am so grateful to Heavenly Father for how genuine she is, she has an amazing gift to know when people just need someone. This is sometimes hard for me because I get pushed to the side for a moment, but the blessing I see as I friend comes to our door with tear filled eyes telling me how Amber "just knew what to do". We are so blessed by her service in our family, I have a strong testimony of what President Marion G. Romney said. He stated in a Conference talk in 1980 this, "you cannot give yourself poor in this work", and then he quoted his mission president, Melvin J. Ballard, this way: "A person cannot give a crust to the Lord without receiving a loaf in return". How true that is. Thank you Heavenly Father for such a great partner for the eternities. Thanks you for having her push me to become who you would want me to be. Thank you for the special moments we have been able to share already over the past 9 years. thank you thank you thank you. I love you Amber
