WORDS TO LIVE BY...

I have a few mantras I like to live by: "Life is good", "What's your motive?," and "Everything's a trade off." When I use these, my perspective seems to be better and I trade some activities for others that will make my life (or someone else's) better and happier. Life's all about choices; you can't do everything. We are always trading one activity for another. Hopefully we choose the most long-lasting, worthwhile, and rewarding things to do with our precious time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACOB!!

I wanted to give a "shout out!" to one of my favorite people in the whole world: Jacob Hawkins. He is so positive, disciplined, intelligent, willing, easy-going, and just plain good through and through! You are one in a million, Jacob, and I am privileged to know you, truly. Happy 18th birthday!!! (I know it was October 24th, but it took me a while to find photos!)

I like that he is sharing some of his "light" with Joseph through osmosis! 
Joseph, you are so much shorter in 2010!

 I remember (still Halloween 2010) when Elise was Hermoine Granger! You guys made my night!

This is one of my favorite pictures. You all look so professional, like you are ready to go on tour! (Dec. 12, 2009)




This was when your family so wonderfully came down 
to listen to Kelsey's oboe recital last March at BYU. Thanks!!

I love your family and value your friendship! 
I've enjoyed this walk down memory lane. Good luck as a senior, Jake. And enjoy the process of preparing for your mission! Wowza!!
And, Happy Birthday!!!
