| Introduction | I come from a family of 10 kids. I LOVED growing up in a big family. I grew up in Australia and moved with my family to Canada when I was 13. Soon after I met my husband Mark and we became friends. We started dating right before his mission, wrote throughout and reunited when he returned. I love motherhood. I have 2 adorable children, Carter and Leilani who make every day different and exciting. Motherhood has really opened my eyes and I think most parents would agree with me when I say children really humble you. They help to mold you, break off the bad bits, develop the better ones, and make you really think about the kind of person you are; because that's the kind of people you will raise. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a wife and mother. I have learned so much and still have so much to learn. I love my husband. I married my best friend and I can't imagine it any other way. We have many adventures together. I also love the gospel and my Savior. He has done so much for me and I am constantly learning how much more indebted I am to him. |
