I love that he is only ten min away and can come home for lunch most days and his home before 5:15 every night. We feel so blessed to have this job and live in UT. Kreg knew that was where we were supposed to be when he took the bar and he stayed faithful to that the entire journey.

We know nothing but the gospel will bring us true happiness in our lives.
