thank you.

Thank you Garrett Mortenson, Hollis Merrell, Jackie (Lewis) Brewer, Tj (Stratton) Mariner, Eldon Blair, Lance and Callie Flake, James and Mamma Jackie...I recently learned about Joe's move to Snowflake from Maryland and discoverd these names he kept repetedly saying. This last weekend we went to Utah for Easter Sunday and stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Denhalter. We laughed...we cried...we laughed so hard that we cried, it was truely amazing...I have learned more about Bekah, Joe, Jessica, Kate, James, Laura and Jackie. I really do have the best family-in-law. So strong, precious and enduring. Each of them with such different personalities yet very similar bold, well spoken individuals. Bekah is an amazing mom who is probably the most creative person I have e v e r met. Taking care of her brothers and sisters while mom was out. Wanting to open a shaved ice stand and run a buisness when she was like 15-still Bekahs personality...she is for sure a go-get-er...Joe is strong, put together and the most sincere man I will ever meet. loves james. peacemaker. I know he loves me more then chasing deer :) He loves his mom to the moon and back and has more then enough good reasons why.(he loves her dearly) Jessica is so so nice. She never wants to hurt anyones feelings and makes you feel right at home. Her tiny perfect body soft spoken voice and still stands up for herself. She has such a fun personality too. I love it...she makes me laugh! Kate is wacky and fun. Kate is one of those people who will really listen to you and make a conversation from nothing. So so easy to talk to. She is a picture taking fanatic and a joke-cracker. Fantastic singer and fun maker. James is allll over the place, he can't sit for more then 20 minute intervals. I think he is finally getting into "girls". Go james! not scared of Chelsea. He looks up to Joe and will listen to his counsel. Sports freak and an 5 dollar looser(hehe) Laura is so grown up. she seems so mature. Likes boys and shopping. Great listener and a fun jokester. she is truely funntastic! and as for my last request...Jackie! Jackie is...an amazing mother,wife, cook and grandma. Brynley loves her grandma to death! it was so fun to watch them together, so excited to see eachother. Most and formost I learned that Jackie held her family together when worst came to worst and made light out of it. We talked about Paul on the drive down and the stories just before he passed away. We talked about Her kids and the thoughts that went on in her head on what was happening. The sweetest stories I have ever heard...needless to say I was crying for about two strait hours on the way there and then another 2 strait hours when we arrived at grandmas house talking about it again the next day. I can deffinatly say she is a saint! What a woman, raising her children so well hard working and having them all turn out to be such wonderful kids all married in the temple...(that are old enough:) and just having them so knowledgeable in the gospel and wanting to learn more is just so amazing. I love that she loves spending time with her children. She truely is a wonderful mom. It was nice sharing the stories of Paul. It was like we were talking about him in Grandma's living room and he was sitting down right there with us. I have learned what an excellent father he is. Joe is turning out to be alot like him--from what I hear. Arn't we so lucky for the knowledge of families being together forever. I just want the Denhalter family to know how much I look up to them and thank you for teaching me so much. Thank you for showing me how to be strong and enduring. I have learned a great deal and hope to act on the things you all have taught me. Thank you thank you. I had a great time, great trip and loved learning about the most wonderful Paul...thank you dad...
