A Happy Birthday for Brad

Seventy-two is the magic number.  That is Brad's birthday number this year.  He says that he feels pretty darn good for one with so much mileage.  He is an amazing man.  He very quietly goes about his business helping to accomplish so much good for our family, for his community and for his gospel family.  Never a cross word to anyone and never a complaining moment.  He just does what needs to be done and that is it.  As a family we have been truly blessed that he married us all. 

Today after the doctor appointment in Ogden we enjoyed a nice lunch at Maddoxs.  That is still our favorite place to enjoy a nice dinner.  The only problem is that they just serve you so much.  The soup was so tasty, but was a meal in itself with the crackers and rolls.  I never have to guess what Brad will order ------- the chicken fried steak with fries and a pepsi.  Delicious rolls for his left hand and the meal is truly enjoyed.

Tonight those family members who could came for cake and ice cream.  All these crazy work schedules, school activities, and church activities make it very hard for us to all be together.  And we truly miss those who live too far for a trip home for a few minutes.  They are always in our thoughts and know that they are with us in spirit.  The phone calls and texts from all were greatly appreciated.  We love you and we thank you.       My camera was acting up so did not get good pictures of all but here is what I have
