At family functions while growing up, Josh used to hang out with his cousin Heidi and her sister Jodi because they were the closest in age to him. Josh gets along really well with Heidi. When they were in high school, Heidi set up Josh on a blind date with one of her friends, and he brought along his best friend Ryan to double with them. Ryan and Heidi are now married, and Josh loves that his best friend is married to one of his favorite cousins! I met Ryan and Heidi after they were first married and Josh and I were still dating. Josh and I drove up to Boise (where they lived at the time), to go to a Monster Truck Race with them. Ryan drove us there in his cool Ford Fairlane. And I specifically remember sitting in the backseat with Josh, watching how intently Heidi looked at her husband as he was driving. I remember thinking about just how much she loved him--you could see it in her eyes. I admired the way they showed their love and respect for each other. And their love for each other has only grown from that time! Since Ryan will be featured on tomorrow's post, I'm going to focus today on Heidi.
Heidi is so beautiful. And I love her hair; she always styles it so nicely. Her exquisite wardrobe and shoes and accessories compliment her beauty as well. Heidi decorates her home lovely; she has a talent for choosing colors and patterns and textures and combining them to create a home full of pretty surroundings.
Heidi is a hard worker and is very responsible. She acts like a lady and is very respectable. And when she's with her sisters, she's especially funny. She has six sisters, and when they get together, they know how to have fun! They are SO comical, and I enjoy being with them when they all get together, because I can't stop laughing! I love watching the dynamics of their family, and how they interact with each other. Heidi loves her family with all her heart. She is happy and willing to help them whenever they need her. They are a close-knit family!
Ryan and Heidi are the parents of two sweet daughters--twin girls. Heidi is a terrific mother. She's taken such good care of her girls. I really admire the optimism she exudes in the challenges she's endured. She is strong and courageous and she has an unwavering testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. She delights in the simple pleasures of life, and she lives as if each moment is a gift. She appreciates her blessings and her heart is full of gratitude.
Heidi, it was so great to see you a few weeks ago, and to spend time with you and your family! Thank you for your excellent example of faith and hope. I look up to you so much. I am so grateful to be related to such a high caliber person such as yourself!
