Jon is 22

August just flew by without a post... A trip to Utah for a family reunion at Lagoon, school starting for Katelyn, Jon starting college, and working hard getting my line of ornaments designed, manufactured, and marketed kept me very busy! So here it is the last day of August and I don't want to leave the month without at least one post. I should have done it yesterday because this morning I got stung on my finger by a baby scorpion and it is still stinging and tingling... AND yesterday was Jon's 22nd birthday!! So here are 22 things I love about Jon:
1) his big smile
2) likes to shop for clothes and look nice
3) returned with honor from his mission
4) is always positive
5) never speaks ill of anyone
6) is very hard-working
7) is always helpful and does things without having to be asked
8) is a loyal friend
9) volunteers to serve at every opportunity
10) does beautiful woodworking
11) does tile and stone work and all kinds of construction
12) earned the money for his mission by doing his woodworking
13) likes country music (like me)!
14) brings a great spirit into our home
15) has a big heart!
16) was always his teachers' favorite student-- every year in elementary school
17) learned to ride a 2-wheel bike when he was only 4 (he got impatient waiting for his dad to take off the training wheels, so he found some tools and figured out how to take them off himself... and off he went!!)
18) got his first "play" set of tools when he was 3 and has been become a master of tools and fixing things ever since!
19) has a natural ability riding dirt bikes... his 1st was a YZ50 when he was 6... by 10 he was racing!
20) is kind and respectful to everyone
21) has a strong testimony and is faithful in his callings
22) tells me he loves me every day!
