WE MET ON A BLIND DATE AND HAVE BEEN MARRIED SINCE 1980. WE HAVE 2 GROWN DAUGHTERS AND ALSO CLAIM THEIR HALF-BROTHER. ALL OF THEM ARE MARRIED. OUR DAUGHTERS HAVE GIVEN US 9 GRANDKIDS. BOTH RICK & I GREW UP IN MAGIC VALLEY. DIANE GREW UP ON A FARM IN HANSEN, IDAHO. RICK GREW UP IN THE TOWN OF BUHL, IDAHO. WE LIVE ABOUT 2 MILES OUT OF TOWN IN THE ORIGINAL FARM HOUSE OF THE AREA. (Many thanks given to my nephew's wife-Lyndsay-for preparing the background. She's very talented and apprecieated.)

I TRY TO PATTERN MY LIFE AFTER THIS.

13 th ARTICLE OF FAITH: We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say that we folllow the admonition of Paul---We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to do endure all things. If there is anything viruous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

HISTORY MADE TODAY.

History was made today. The 44th President of the United States was put into office today. What makes this situation history making is this: He is our first African American elected into this position. I wouldn't have mentioned this subject had it not been a historical day. It needs to be remembered.
If he is able to accomplish his campaign promises, maybe the world will be better. I truly don't think any President is able to accomplish all of their campaign promises -because of the system. He cannot make choices by himself. I have mixed emotions about him being into office.

You're right it is historic and I've very torn about him being in office too. All I can say now is I hope he does well.

Whether we voted for him or not; we are definitely 100% routing for him to be able to make things better. Even though I don't find that happening for years to come. Josh and I have decided to celebrate having our first 1/4 Hawaiian president instead...just for kicks.
