This is for the Girls in the Family! .......... (Part One)

I wanted to send some love out to my girls!


Mom....Thanks for being my mom. The one who took care of me, bathed me, wiped my butt, watched with heartache while I grew up and made my own choices. You were right. I find out all of the time with my own kids how hard it is to be a mom. I appreciate how much you love me and how much you try to be the best mom to each of us kids.

Grandma Phyllis....Thank you for loving me for all of the good, bad and ugly. I appreciate how you always tell me how much potential you think I have. Thank you for always having something positive to say. You have been a great cheerleader for me!

Deryk....Thank you for being there for me when I call and listening to the day's dilemma. I appreicate how patient you are with me when my world seems to be unraveling from the chaos of computer hell or just sharing war stories from our week. I appreciate how you handle the storms of life.

Steviee.... Thanks for being there for me and for understanding the madness of staying home with kids. Thanks for laughing with me about how crazy we can be as moms. I appreciate how passionate you are about God, motherhood and family.

Lindsay....Thank you for being there for me and knowing, somehow, supernaturally, that I needed God's voice a little louder to save me from a near meltdown. Thank you for your faith in God and thanks for giving me some of the best hugs in the world.

Jen....Thank you for being a friend that can go through lifes ups and downs and still be in it for the long haul. I appreciate that we can talk about the mistakes we have made but rejoice in the truth that our friendship runs deep.

Melinda....Thank you for spending girl time with me and talking life out with me. Thanks for letting me bawl my eyes out while you drive me all over the Salt Lake Valley. I appreciate how you listen to me and accept me for who I am.

Aunt Rochelle....Thank you for being there for me to understand things only a Gervol can understand. I appreciate how much you love our family and how you have persevered through all of it's ups and downs.

Aunt Geri....Thank you for believing in my creativity. I appreciate the opportunities that you give to me to express myself and not only listen to my ideas but give them a chance to blossom.


You are all an awesome part of my life and I am grateful for each one of you.

Love,
Natalie
