Forever Young

These are my grandparents:
Aren't they great? Two of my favorite people in the world they are. When I lived in Salt Lake, I spent many Sunday evenings with them shooting the breeze. Now I have to make due with phone-call updates every now and then.
Everyone loves their Grandma--but my Gram is really pretty fantastic. She started keeping a Costco box of Skittles at the house because she knew how much I loved them. Also in her fridge was a bottle of Fat-Free Thousand Islands salad dressing--for yours truly. But the biggest surprise was when I was in SLC for Conference and she had a bottle of grenadine (cherry syrup for you novices) for me to make a Diet Cherry Coke. True LOVE people!

I also love how much my Gram remembers about my friends. She's always asking about Jamar, Alicia, Krista, or the "M"s' in NYC. She has a pretty awesome memory.

(Dare I tell you that she's also the giver of the G.F.P?)

My Grandpa says some pretty funny (unpublishable) things. Ask me about it sometime--but he also expounds great wisdom and advice.

Mostly though, G&G are a testament to the fact that you're only as old as you ACT. Their combined health isn't the best--but they never complain; in fact, they're always looking for ways to serve other people. They're bright and cheery and are able to laugh at themselves at all costs. They've also taken us on some pretty awesome trips--the Disney Cruise, Mexico City, Nauvoo, NYC, Rocky Point, Kino Bay, San Francisco, etc. etc. Their generosity is unbelievable.


I could literally go on and on about how great they are--some of you know because you've met them/spent time with them or are related to them! All who do know them are impressed and pleased to know such wonderful people.

Grandparents are so great, aren't they? Mine came and visited me this last week and we had a blast. They are now off travelling the world again, visiting Tunisia, this time. Also, they used to go on motorcycle trips too. How cool are grandpa's with motorcycles?! Good times.

Quite a legacy of living...certainly a hard act to follow...and one worth emulating.
