All Because Two People Fell in Love

Our "love story" began in 1983 when I was in high school, and Mark was serving a full time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He was serving in the Oakland California mission, Concord to be more specific. A couple of years prior to Mark's arrival in my home town, my Dad had taken a job transfer to Idaho and moved our family. I kept in touch with friends from California, and it was one of these friends that first "hooked us up". Mark and I became pen pals, then best friends, and as they say, the rest is history! We will celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary this May! We have been blessed with 6 children, Jenica (22) our only daughter, and sons, Grant (20), Bryce (16), Trent (15), Chase (10) and Eli (8). Our children are our greatest joy!
