Ryan

Ryan is in the Marine Corp and leaves this Sat. for three weeks to Grayling, MI. He leaves Aug.2nd, for a few months to CA and then off to Afganistan. He will be gone for year. I am so proud of him. I pray he will be safe. He doesn't seem long ago that he was following me around making sure I wasn't far. The years sure flew by. I didn't realize back then, the years would go by that fast. I hope I was a good mom to him. He has grownup into a fine young man. I am happy to be his mother. I am proud of him. He will be in my prayers and thoughts every single day. He has such a sweet and fun personality. His siblings love him so much. His dad is proud of him. May the Lord bless him always.

Our Life

Our family consists of six people. I married Chuck Nelson in 1987. I had two sons, James and Joseph. we met in Jacksonville, Florida, while Chuck was in the navy. James was four years old and Joseph was only 5 1/2 months old. We had a boy and a girl, Ryan and Taylor. We live in Howell, Michigan. Chuck has a Journeyman's license and is a pipefitter. He works very hard for our family. James lives in Florida and is getting married to a wonderful lady, Cari Gates. They will get married in Utah, where Cari lives, in April 2010. I love my family very much. We are members of, "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." I love my Savior Jesus Christ and feel his love daily.
