Richard celebrated a birthday recently. During the last year, here are some of the things I observed about him:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • He became a grandfather.<\/strong> He delights in this little grandson.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He enjoyed his new upstairs home office<\/strong>, and worked from home until last September. He is now going into the office each day after nearly 5 years at home. What a change for both of us. He still uses his home office most evenings to put in more work hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He went on two trips with friends to ride 4-wheelers.<\/strong> He knows how to work hard and play hard with healthy balance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He continued to serve as first counselor in the bishopric. <\/strong>I see the effects of his living a consecrated life in his countenance, his perspective, and his unselfishness. He becomes a richer version of himself each year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He began to use some of his humor when he conducted sacrament meetings. <\/strong>When he says something funny, the ward members repeat his jokes to me throughout the week. People are tickled to be caught off guard when he shows his funny side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He bought a new-to-us truck which makes him so happy.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He worked hard to plan 4-wheeling adventures and other activities for the Ross reunion. <\/strong>This year, we rode to the top of Monroe mountain, went tubing in the Sevier river, and stayed in a historic home in Joseph.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He planned an epic family and senior trip for Mark.<\/strong> We visited Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Parks and made so many memories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He continued to exercise in the gym <\/strong>and took his supplements. He is fit and trim.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He watched over a plentiful apple and tomato harvest.<\/strong> We are still enjoying dried apples and salsa from his labors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He edited an incredible family video for Christmas. <\/strong>What a history he has created of our family with these annual videos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He helped Tim with lots of truck repairs.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He took Mark and Tim skiing many times.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I think he had a great year.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
