Debbie




Glen's mom passed away Sunday after battling cancer for 2 years. While her passing is a sad thing we are happy to know she is back with her Heavenly Father and out of pain. I am so grateful to have known Debbie for 3 years. I see so many of Debbie's good qualities in Glen, and I can't began to express how grateful I am for the way that she helped raise Glen. I know she had a big part in the way Glen treats women and more specifically me. I am so grateful for the love of the gospel that Glen has partly because of his Mom. She always made a point to express the importance of the gospel and the temple to us. She was such a good example by going multiple times a week to serve in the Lords house. I believe that Glen got his genuine concern for people from from Debbie. She spent the majority of her life taking care of people as nurse. If any one knows Glen they know about his love for animals. I had wondered where the idea or becoming a vet or owning petting farm came from until I started hearing all his childhood stories about all the crazy animals he had while living with his Mom. Even while we had our hedgehog she was always calling and asking about it and was always in support of Glen getting other pets. We will miss Debbie a lot, but we are so grateful for everything she has taught us and the wonderful example she has been to us.



2 Years!
Sunday was also our 2 year anniversary! 2 years ago i married my best friend. I cannot believe how fast time has gone! We have not celebrated it yet due to moving and the other circumstances but i thought i would take the time to tell Glen how much i love him and how grateful i am for him! I cant even imagine my life without him!
He was sneaky and surprised me with these....
