TRUST THIS BOY TO BREAK TRADITION. I HAVE TRIED AND TRIED TO CATCH HIM HOME TO DO HIS BIRTHDAY INTERVIEW, BUT I HAVE DECIDED IT IS JUST A PIT STOP FOR HIM. FINALLY A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I SAID TO SHANNON, "I STILL HAVEN'T DONE NATE'S BIRTHDAY INTERVIEW." SHE TOLD ME TO BAG IT SO I GUESS I WILL FINISH UP WITH HYRUM'S THIS YEAR AND THEN THE INTERVIEWS WILL BE DONE....EVERYONE IS JUST TOO BUSY.
I LOVE THIS PICTURE, AND IT IS A RARE OCCASION WHEN YOU SEE THE TWO OF THEM TOGETHER WITHOUT KIDS OR A WARD (OR A TEAM)
FOREVER THE GOOD SPORT RELISHING A PRESENT FROM ONE OF THE KIDDOS. HE IS SUCH A GOOD DAD!
OH THOSE DAYS LONG AGO WHEN THE KIDDOS ACTUALLY PLAYED BASEBALL. IT IS GOOD THEY HAVE CONVERTED HIM TO SOCCER BECAUSE THEY LOVE IT AND SO DOES HE....
AND THE GIRL'S ON THE TEAM LOVE HIM BUT NO ONE AS MUCH AS HIS OWN KIDDOS.
THE KID'S IN HIS COLLEGE WARD ALSO LOVE HIM AS THE BISHOP, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES OF THEM. I KNOW HE SPENDS A LOT OF TIME WITH THIS CALLING AND THE KIDS IN HIS WARD ARE BLESSED TO HAVE HIM AS THEIR BISHOP. I THINK ONE OF HIS STRONGEST QUALITIES IS THAT HE RELATES TO THEM SO WELL AND ISN'T AFRAID TO TELL THEM WHAT THEY NEED TO HEAR. HE IS A STRAIGHT SHOOTER AND THEY NEED THAT. SEEING HIM SERVE IS ALSO A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR HIS CHILDREN AND ALTHOUGH THEY MISS SOME TIME SPENT WITH HIM, HIS EXAMPLE OF FREELY SERVING WILL BE THE THING THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER. NATE STAYS PRETTY CHILLED ABOUT THINGS, BUT I HAVE NOTICED CHANGES IN HIM SINCE HE HAS BEEN CALLED TO BE THE BISHOP. I SEE HIM PUTTING THINGS IN AN ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE (NOT THAT HE DIDN'T ALWAYS...BUT MAYBE A LITTLE MORE). WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM AND WE HOPE HE KNOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE HIM.. WE ESPECIALLY APPRECIATE THAT WE ARE ALWAYS MADE TO FEEL WELCOME IN THEIR HOME, AND THAT HE LIKES US TO BE AT THE KID'S ACTIVITIES. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH NATE AND HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY IS FILLED WITH ALL OF LIFE'S JOYS AND BLESSINGS. THANKS FOR BEING THE WORLD'S BEST SON IN LAW!
