Things that describe me

One of the YW in our ward passed away this past Fall. I was immediately drawn to a piece of paper inside the program that was filled with words and phrases that described her. I didn't know her well, but after reading the memories and thoughts from her loved ones, I felt like I knew her.

I posted on our family website this idea of words and phrases that describe each one of us. Here is the list that some of my family came up for me:

From Julianne:

Trips to Ohio - I loved going to spend time with the Meibos family in Ohio and watch Corin in her wonderful mother role.

outlet shopping

Corin bringing her whole family to our wedding - it meant so much to me - besides being married in the temple that was probably the most important thing to me was having our family with us.

Big sister - I admire and respect Corin so much, I have turned to her on many occasions for advice.

Sharing good talks. On our many visits to her home we have had some great talks. One especially stands out in my memory while driving somewhere in Ohio together she shared her gratitude for me and Brooke in her brothers' lives.

Wonder woman - I am truly AMAZED by all Corin does.
