He says (about her):
I can honestly say that I married my best friend. I’ve never been as
comfortable with anyone as I am with Lisa. Even the first time we talked
the conversation flowed like we had known each other for years. And now I
can’t wait to know her forever. We think the same way, we like the same
things and we have the same goals.
I think one of the first things that attracted me to Lisa was her great sense
of humor. As I think back on our life together, we have spent so much
time laughing. Whether in the car, or on walk or working on the house,
Lisa always finds a way to make it fun. She always laughs at my dumb
jokes, even if it is just to make me feel good. I love to see her
interact with Macey and Finley. They are best friends and have so much
fun together learning and playing. Whenever Macey or Finley need true
comfort, they turn to Lisa and get the love that only a mom could offer to make
everything alright. I have learned to be a dad, but Lisa has been a great
mom from the very start. Everything about her is beautiful.
On top of that, Lisa is an amazing person. She is always thinking about
others and looking for ways to meet other people’s needs. Throughout the
challenges we have faced in our lives, she has exhibited great humility and
strength regardless of the situation. She loves her Heavenly Father and
is constantly faithful to Him. I know that regardless of what comes in
our lives, I can rely on her for strength and we will make it through.
She says (about herself):
I love to read.
Some recent favorites are The Art of Hearing Heartbeats,
I love to quilt. I’m not a very creative person, but quilting is my
jam.
I like to do house projects and like refinishing
furniture. I like the idea of turning something old and worn into something
beautiful.
I love anything that involves water – swimming, playing in the
ocean, and wakeboarding.
I am terrified of sharks, but for some reason I love the series
"Shark Week" that is on the Discovery Channel every year.
I grew up camping and hiking and still love
it (especially in Southern Utah);
I love, love, love going for long walks with my family. There is
nothing better to me than a nice, long stroll.
I am a big fan of playing games –Quirkle, Ticket to Ride and
Scrabble are a few favorite.
I love to watch a few TV shows, including The Good Wife, The
Mindy Project, Parenthood, and American Ninja Warrior.
If I had to choose one word to describe myself, it would be “resilient”. I have
endured trials in my life that I never imagined I would – yet I have survived.
I have become stronger, more steadfast, more reliant on my Heavenly Father. I
have learned that a greater inner strength can come from difficult situations.
That the human spirit can endure. Mine has.
I find my greatest joy in my husband, who is my best friends, and my kids.
There is no one I would rather be with. Day in, day out, through thick or thin,
I would rather be staring at a wall with them than on the greatest adventure in
the world with anyone else.
