This blog is going to be kind of like a family history. Today I'm going write a little about Anna. Being the first girl after three boys, she pretty much held "Princess" status in our family for a long time. Yesterday, Dwight and I went to the BYU game with Jordan, Mandy, Anna and Spencer. After the game we went to dinner at Ottavios. During dinner we were talking about how Anna, as a baby, had tons of clothes each with matching hair ribbon, shoes and binky. When we found out we were going to have a baby girl, I got out a pair of pink baby shoes that I had been saving for years...Dwight slept with them under his pillow. Our little girl was destined to have her daddy wrapped around her little finger. Anna has always been very creative...doing art projects, putting on programs and writing, staring in, directing and producing original videos along with her siblings. She is very athletic and played volleyball, basketball, and soccer and ran track in high school always seeming to earn the "Most Improved Player" award. When she won "Most Valuable Player" in soccer she was almost disappointed because it broke her streak of most improv
ed! She was captain of several of her teams. Anna was a cheerleader in 8th grade, but I think she'd like to keep that a secret. In elementary school she would play football with her big brothers and their friends. They came home one day saying Anna had made one of the boys cry. She said all she did was growl at him at the line. Anna took ballet and drill team for a couple of years, but always seemed more inclined towards sports. She didn't start playing soccer until her freshman year in high school, but it turned out to be her favorite. Anna ran away from home once because her brothers were being mean to her. She got halfway u
p the street when the Bishop's wife, Carolee Gay, found her crying. Carolee took her into her house, calmed her down and gave her treats. After a little while with Carolee, Anna figured she could go back home and knew she had a place to go if her brothers ever got out of hand again. It turned out that Anna is now really good friends with
her brothers! We moved right before Anna's senior year, which she wasn't very happy about; but she got involved in sports and made good friends and was able to have a good year inspite of her mean parents. She found a new talent at CVHS. She took a guitar class and really enjoyed it. Another talent she developed about this
time is cooking. She's like her daddy...loves to create masterpieces in the kitchen and watch people enjoy them. She also graduated from seminary after three years of early-morning and one year of released-time. I took Anna on a cruise after high school graduation. We had a great time. When we got home she started working in the office at Circle 4 Farms. It was nice becuase she could ride with Dwight to work. She went to BYU last fall, but didn't really like it (mostly
because she missed her friend, Michael that was still in Cedar City going to SUU). So she came home the next semester, started working at Circle 4 again and then broke up with Michael, and went back up to
Provo. In the meantime, Michael who wasn't a member of the LDS Church, took the missionary lessons and was baptized. The whole family went to the baptism where Michael bore a sweet, pure testimony. We are really happy for him. Anna and Michael are still good "just friends" and get together when she comes home to visit. She is still in Provo. She is roomming with her cousin, Kali, and working and hoping to go back to BYU soon. So to summarize, Anna is a great girl with lots of gifts and talents. I love her more than she can imagine and am very proud of her!
