Happy Birthday Jacque!

Jacque wanted to relax and celebrate with "the girls" this year.  So, we convinced Darleen to join us (from Tucson) for dinner at Brio (mom and dad too) and a relaxing stay at a close-by resort.  After dinner, we were joined by some more fabulous girls - Cassidi, Jenny, and Savannah - and we went to a movie.  Back to the resort for some late night Mormon-Bridge, and morning massages.  We ended the afternoon at our new favorite gelato place - Frost.  It was a wonderful way to relax and celebrate Jacque's birthday.

Some of the things we love about Jacque:
*  She always makes sure everyone else is taken care of first.  Maybe this is because of her profession, but many times, I have seen her help and take care of those she loves the most before her own needs and feelings.  If there was ever a true friend, it would be Jacque!

*  She cherishes the relationships she has with her family.  She is a family girl through and through and loves to celebrate through traditions, family dinners, and a few extravagant parties!

*  She continues to amaze me with her determination to learn and develop new talents.  Her cooking is famously decadent and her cute house is full of crafts and plants she continually is working on.

*  She loves life.  The good, the bad, the yucky, the adventures, and the reality of the moment.  This past year has been a hard one, yet Jacque looks for the positive, works towards her goals, and relishes the moments she has with those she loves.
What a blessing to have this daughter in our lives!  Jacque brings a sweet joy into our lives and we are indeed blessed to have her close in so many ways!!
Happy Birthday!!!  We love you!!
