I tell everyone  I know that he is a Mission President for the Church of Jesus Christ of  Latter-Day Saints. It&#8217;s a big job, and I know he and my mom are fully invested  in the work. I am grateful for their example of sacrifice. My parents have been  on their mission for two years with one more to go. The family has been so  blessed while they have been away. I really see God&#8217;s hand in helping us work  through things without Mom and Dad around. I feel protected and happy because of  their service. <\/DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;<\/DIV> <DIV>You know, I started this post thinking I would write about my dad, but  within a few sentences, I couldn&#8217;t give an adequate description without  including my mom. That&#8217;s a great tribute to the quality of their marriage. They  are a great example of a couple who knows how to work together. <\/DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;<\/DIV> <DIV>Speaking of being a couple, I&#8217;m off to Utah for a few&nbsp;days to  accompany Richard to his 20th high school reunion. I&#8217;ve been trying to get ready  for the trip&#8230; you know, shopping for the right clothes and shoes so I can look  like the trophy wife that I am. I had no luck in the clothing and shoe  departments, but I hit the Bath and Body Works sale, so I will at least smell  like a little bit of heaven.<\/DIV> <DIV>&nbsp;<\/DIV> <DIV>This is such a weird post.
