DATING AND RUNNING.....AND ALWAYS BUSY DOING GOOD!

THIS IS ABIGAIL'S FIRST DANCE.  IT HAS BEEN QUITE A SHOCK TO HAVE HER OLD ENOUGH TO DATE BUT SHE ALWAYS GOES WITH A GOOD GROUP AND HAS TONS OF FUN!!

THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN AT AN INDOOR TRACK MEET AT THE OLYMPIC OVAL....THIS WINTER.  SHE DID SUCH A GREAT JOB AND WE ARE SO PROUD OF HER AND HER DETERMINATION!

ANOTHER THING THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY ABOUT HER RUNNING IS THAT SHE HAS BECOME CLOSE TO SOME VERY GOOD FRIENDS.  I LOVE IT WHEN SHE TELLS ME ABOUT THEM.

SHE ALSO LOVES HER CUTE LITTLE CHEERLEADERS.......WE ALL DO!

 THE LINE UP BEFORE THE DATE........OH THIS IS THE BEST.  IT'S A GOOD THING ABIGAIL HAS A LOT OF PERSONALITY AND SELF CONFIDENCE!

THE DATE!  I LOVE HER DRESS AND I AM TRYING TO FIND THE PICTURES OF A DANCE WHERE SHE WENT IN A PINK DRESS.....WISH ME LUCK! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

WHILE I WAS LOOKING FOR THE OTHER PICTURES....I CAME ACROSS THIS CUTE PICTURE WITH ABIGAIL AND HER BEST FRIEND JENNA FROM OMAHA.  JENNA SURPRISED ABIGAIL OVER CHRISTMAS BREAK AND THEY HAD SUCH A FUN TIME TOGETHER!!  THEY HAVE STAYED SO CLOSE AND I LOVE THAT!

 THIS WAS HER FIRST DATE...IT WAS THE WINTER FORMAL AND SHE HAD A BLAST.  SHE WAS SO CUTE WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IT.  I LOVED EVERY MINUTE!

 THIS WAS HER GROUP....SUCH GOOD GIRLS AND FRIENDS.

I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF HER.....IT IS MY FAVORITE!!!! SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

TALK ABOUT DE-JA-VU.   MANY YEARS AGO WE SPENT 4 YEARS WATCHING JUSTIN RUN STATE CROSS COUNTRY AT SUGAR HOUSE PARK.  THIS YEAR WE GOT TO WATCH ABIGAIL AND SHE WAS AWESOME.  I HOWEVER, REALIZE HOW MUCH FASTER AND HARDER I COULD GO THEN THAN I CAN NOW TO GET TO DIFFERENT SPOTS TO WATCH.  THAT WAS HARD....BUT SO FUN TO WATCH HER!

I LOOKED FOR 1 HOUR FOR THIS PICTURE....I FINALLY GAVE UP AND DID A SCREEN SHOT.....THIS REALLY IS MY FAVORITE.  I JUST LOVE....LOVE....LOVE IT! AND I GOT IT!

I LOVE THE WAY SHE TAKES NOTES AS SHE WATCHES CONFERENCE WITH HER FAMILY.  SHE IS AN AMAZING EXAMPLE FOR ALL OF THEM AND ALL OF US IN SCHOOL, CHURCH, FAMILY LIFE ETC.......SHE IS VERY SELF MOTIVATED.   SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE REMINDED TO READ HER SCRIPTURES OR DO HER HOMEWORK.  SHE IS VERY AWARE OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND SHE DOES IT.  SHE IS A NATURAL LEADER.  AS I OBSERVE OR ORGANIZATIONAL SKILL AND THE THE WAY SHE THINKS THINGS THROUGH...AND THEN FOLLOWS THROUGH, SHE TRULY AMAZES ME.    I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IMPRESSES ME SO MUCH IS THAT SHE IS A PERFECTIONIST IN MANY WAYS....WHICH USUALLY FOLLOWS WITH A PERSONALITY THAT IS VERY STRESSED.  SHE HAS SUCH A STRONG TESTIMONY THAT SHE DOES ALL SHE CAN DO AND THEN SHE TURNS IT OVER TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.  SHE IS A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR ALL OF US AND WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE HER IN OUR FAMILY.  I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ABIGAIL...FOREVER AND EVER...I HOPE YOU KNOW I AM ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU IF YOU NEED ME.  I HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY IS AS WONDERFUL AS YOU!  YOU TRULY BLESS OUR LIVES!
