The Power of a 10 Year Gap

When most people find out that there is a ten year gap from the youngest of the three oldest to the oldest of the youngest, they are astonished. They seem to wonder what mom and dad were thinking. And in all due respect even some of us haven't truly understood why. However, the past three weeks have made it quite obvious why there is a ten year gap and the impact that it has on a family. You three and your families have been my leading example since who knows when. Maybe it was visting Shane at BYU and having to wash your feet every ten minutes because of the carpet, or it was the days at the elms with Troy and Jeremy both there. The time period that I have learned the most is from when all three got married. It is such an inspiration to see how you all react in your families. The feelings I have had the past three weeks are undescribable. These experiences make me excited to be where they are in their lives. Brett and I get to see the joy and happiness of a family of your own. The three of you keep me away from folowing the world and believing the lie that getting married is overrated. Thank you three and your families for the knowledge, the inspiration, and guidance that you have given me through the years. Thank you Jer and Kenz for changing my life for the better yet again. It's inevitable, you will leave that place a better person. Whether it's three weeks or three days. That home is full of love, humor, and happiness. Clovis California has the quintessential family, and the Dry Creek ward that spans probably 30 square miles, is blessed to have the presence of that family. Thank you all so much, Jeremy, Kenz, Channing, Samara (lulu), scarlett, and maggie :/
