We spend a lifetime gathering things, building a home and creating memories. It may be humble surroundings, it may in a remote area, but its ours. I came to Grants Pass, Oregon when I was three years old. This area has raised me to who I am today, and now it is time at 48 years old to venture off to discover more about myself and the world outside the safe mountains that surround this valley. I leave friends who have stood by me through tough times and loved me inspite of my faults. They I will treasure in my heart forever. Family members from my Husband's side will still be here to come visit and I look forward to those times. Believing in the sealing ordinances in the Temple's of our God, give me strength in the knowlege that families are forever. I go now to get to know and strengthen relationships with my side of the family. I leave behind much but I'm looking forward to greater opportunities.
Way to Go Chelsea!!!! What a great day to finish High School. She graduated from Hidden Valley High, June 3rd. and then off to Arizona June 5th. She is deciding where life will lead her next. Will it be Evergreen in Washington, BYU Hawaii, or will it be marriage? Only she can decide. Whatever she decides, she will excell and sore to great heights, with Mom cheering her on.
