How many brothers and sisters do you have? Describe them and tell a story about you and each of them.

Tammy, Justin, Dad, Jennifer, Joel, Mom, Jared, Emily



I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters. I love each of them dearly. Over the years we have grown to be the best of friends.

Justin:

Justin is the big brother that will always be willing to give you the council you need. He is willing to help you when you need an adjustment. He works really hard and sacrifices to provide for his family. Justin has a strong testimony of the gospel and it shows. When Justin went on his mission, we did not see each other for over 3 years. I cherish the time that we had to spend together then and any time that spend now. We lived in the Provo/Orem area at the same time after we were each married. We were able to spend some time together then. I remember that Justin worked as a milk delivery man between his time at BYU and when he went to Chiropractic school. I admired his willingness to work so hard to provide for his family. I feel blessed to call him my elder brother.



Jared:
Jared has always been the wild and crazy one of the family. He loves to get out and have a good time. He always finds a way to find the fun part of any activity. Jared and I were able to play football together in high school. He was an example to me of strength and determination. There were days that I thought the pressure was too much. He was always able to find a way to have fun and get the job done at the same time. Jared loves to play. I enjoy the few times that we have been able to play golf together. He amazes me at his ability to pick up a sport or anything and work until he is successful at it. I always have a great time when he is around, he reminds me of the fun we had together in high school.



Emily:
Emily is a sweetheart. She is kind hearted. She sometimes likes to pick on her older brothers and finds herself in a difficult predicament. She loves to play and have a good time. She love children and is a great teacher. Emily is always willing to lend a hand and share her talents. Emily is an accomplished singer, we all love to hear her sing. She spent her mission as part of a singing group and spread the gospel to the people in Thailand. I always appreciate Emily for her kind nature and the love that she shares with all around her.



Tammy:
Tammy is the baby of the family. She feels that family is the most important thing. She is the youngest, but she has a sense of maturity about her that is well beyond her age. She is very levelheaded and practical. Tammy loves to get out and have fun. We always have a good time together. I remember many times when we were kids that the girls would want to watch a musical and Justin and Jared would like to watch an action movie. I was always the tiebreaker and the girls would love it when we watched a musical. I love spending time with Tammy. There have been times when I have been able to talk with Tammy and have a wonderful conversation about relationships or the gospel. She is my baby sister and I love her dearly.
