Did you ever talk to that boy? We ran into eachother once outside of me being at work. And he approached me and said HI! And we introduced ourselves and that was it.

We recently had the pleasure to vacation near Tillamook, Oregon for 3 blissful nights and 4 days. I love the Oregon coast so very very much. It was fun to be in a place where all the adults and children stayed in one house, which makes it a lot easier to hang out and chat because of BEDTIME! The greatest gift a child can give to his mother. Sums up wake time with the kiddos. Henry when we said it was nap time.

Ironically Jarom has two little sisters, Whitney and Lindsey. This is why my mom loves Amanda the most. She is such a good helper. Whitney was such a beautiful bride. I am in love with this temple.

Monday, April 9, 2012. This is my second to last email to you! It all passed by too rapidly. This has been by far the fastest, and one of the happiest transfers of my mission. Easter was so special this year. Hermana Collins , weird for only 1 more email I will be called that.

Friday, September 6, 2013. He was 7 pounds 6 ounces and 20 inches long. He is a cute healthy baby and Taylor and I are so grateful to have him in our lives. After they cleaned him off real quick, they let us do skin-to-skin and that was such a sweet moment. Taylor and I are so thrilled to have him join our little family.
