My Friends (the rest of my family)

What can I say? My family isn’t big enough, so we adopt into it. Quite a few of them are slightly related through marriage lines, so we’ve decided that it’s close enough to family. There are far too many to list. Our friends are such an important part of our family and we are grateful for all of them, near and far.

Jacob and Crystal are our children’s godparents. Very goal-oriented and self-motivated they are an inspiration to entrepreneurship, entertaining events, and much more.

Shaina, who has been there for me throughout most of my biggest life moments, I can’t imagine experiencing life without having her to share it with. I love her smile; it’s contagious no matter what mood I’m in.

Blaine and Jessika are wonderful at entertaining, both a houseful of guests and by making us laugh. Hardly ever a dull moment. I’m honored to have been a part of their lives.

Jeremiah “Poof” is generous and extremely helpful. Always has a good attitude to match his big heart. (And he cooks the best Papa Murphy's pizzas around!)

Josh is a bit crazy and controversial, but in a very enjoyable way. His impressions impress us all and keep us laughing even when he’s not around.


Glen and Lilly, and their new addition: Kaylee, are our roommates and good friends. We are blessed to have great people to spend this time of our life with.


Christina is like having a sister, I absolutely love her spunk and tenacity for God and life. Plus, I love her kids like total family, and Dallen is a great friend as well. We are so very blessed with friends we can call family.

There are many more that are near and far, that influence and effect our lives all the time. I wish that I could name everyone, but that would take a lifetime. All these and many more are loyal and loving; they are a wonderful addition to our extended family. And all are important and very dear to our hearts. To all of the friends that we call family: Thank you for your friendship and know that we love you!
