11 yrs later......

Three amazing people changed my life, turned things upside down and made me one of the happiest people today!

A date at Hells Canyon before we were married.
When we were leaving I shut my thumb in the blazer door.
I still have the ridges of it on my fingernail and it has never been able to grow very long.
I am grateful for it though because of the memories it brings.
While dating I also got my hand caught in a tramp.
I have never seen Shan and my Mom take apart a tramp so fast. I look like such a little kid here.
20 yrs old The weekend Shan asked me to marry him.
We were on our way to Tamara's wedding in Vegas.
We stopped by his Grandma Butchers house in Fruitheights.
He picked a flower out of the garden for me.
On the flower was my ring.
He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. December 13th 1997
It was 10 degrees outside!!
I was sooooo cold and sooooo happy!! Shan's parents John and Vernean Perry My parents Gregory and Melissa Cox My family Alysha, Matt, Barry, Kayleigh, Andrea, Me, Shan

AIDs Benefit

I had the wonderful oppurtunity to be a part of the Breaking Boundaries fund raiser for AIDs.

I love finding ways to serve my community and the world in my own small way.

The feeling and the energy at this benefit was AMAZING!!

We had people of all walks of life there and all of them came together for one purpose!

I am awed by the people who work so hard and give so much of their time to better and help the lives of others.

I hope that I can someday do more.

Tis the season to serve and help others!! Let us all find a cause to support, fight for, donate and serve!

Blair is one of my very good friends! I didn't know until the benefit and the music started that he has taught ballroom as well as all kinds of dancing. We danced and at the end he told me I was a wonderful dancer to which I responded anyone can dance if they have a good leader. He made me took GOOD!! :o)

Cute Things

Alissa was getting a waffle out of the fridge,

as she took it out part of it was under something.

So as she took it out it would break.

She finally got out the whole waffle from the sack in the fridge.

She then one by one took each one of the pieces you see here and cooked them in the microwave one at a time.

Xavey says to me "Mom how does that song go?"

"Which song Xavey?"

"I think it goes Silent night, hold me tight"

To which I responded

"That is exactly right Xavey"
