March...forward

This month brings about the anniversary of our younger daughter, Tanessa and Jake.  They have been married for 6 years on March 5th.  The are currently residing in FLORIDA...which is WAY too far away...but they seem to be happy there with all their friends and are active in their Ward, and a great asset.  Jake works for Lockhead Martin, and Tanessa is a stay at home mom, with her two beautiful little girls, Addi - 4 and Brielle - 1.  They are expecting a little boy to add to their family in July.  We are so glad to have Jake in our family, and they are such a good team!   Happy Anniversary, Tess and Jake!!  We love you both.

 

On March 9th, we celebrated my Dad's 81st birthday.  He continues to be such a great example to me and to all of my family.  He is so dedicated to the building up of the Kingdom, as a diligent Temple Worker, a patient Primary Teacher...and endless Historian and Record Keeper!  He is our Nephi!!  He not only loves life and serving others, but has a great sense of humor, he loves watching sports and follows BYU diligiently, he is a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandpa!  He teaches us all patience, love and honor through his mighty example.  Happy Birthday, to my Dad, Ray Hamblin...we love you tons!! 

 

March 18th is a great day in our family, because Jacob was born on that day!  My baby...Jacob Von will celebrate his 22nd Birthday this Friday!  After being gone for two years on a mission to Belgium, it is great to have him home for his Birthday and be able to spoil him (once again)!  I can't express how much joy Jacob has brought into our lives, how much he makes us laugh, and how much we love him.  We are so glad he is part of our family.

 He is dedicated to the things he believes in, he is diligent in the things he undertakes, he is ruthless in his teasing (probably from all the teasing we put him through being the baby of the family!), and he is a wonderful son, and a great brother, grandson, and the role he loves most...an Uncle!  He loves the neices and nephews to death!  He has a big heart, a kind spirit, and makes us all smile!

 

 

I have often referred to him as our mighty warrior in these last days...I truly believe that, corny as it might sound to the rest of you...he is mighty!  I love him and wish him the happiest Birthday!
