Welcome, here you find an idealist, a dreamer, a romantic, very sentimental with a heart drawn to the heroic. All of this is focused on my devotion to Heavenly Father, the Savior and the Gospel of Jesus Christ and my family. I have a strong sense of calling and mission in life. I am devoted to my family and feel my highest callings are wife, mother, grandmother.

My mottos are

D&C 4:2

As God wills, so is my aim

Live with Faith, Piety and Heroic Spirit

I love to study the scriptures and anything related. I love having deep gospel discussions. I love living the gospel and striving to be Christ-like. My heart is set on exaltation in the Celestial Kingdom with my family.

I have had a wonderful life yet at the same time have been through many very difficult trials. I have trusted and leaned on Heavenly Father through it all. I believe it doesn't matter so much what happens, but how we handle it. I believe that happiness is a choice and I choose happiness. I am forgiving and I look for the best in others and in situations. I am hard working and I care about and serve others.

I dream of finding a valiant man, who is strong, faithful, righteous, courageous, kind, who loves the Lord above all, whose testimony is unyielding. I dream of a kindred spirit to share all of life, inner and outer, to live our missions, to serve the Lord, to love and share family and the great adventure on this beautiful earth.
