One of the greatest blessings in my life is the Godly heritage that has been passed down to me through my grandparents, on both sides of my family. I am so thankful for that heritage and don't ever want to take it for granted! 
My grandma Veta is one of the greatest role models I know. She has had such a gift of mercy her entire life, and would do anything to meet the needs of those around her. From the time I was small I remember there were always people in her home she was taking care of, nursing to health or ussuring on to Heaven. She worked tirelessly but always had time for a game of Skip-Bo with the grandkids. In fact, we still play with her every time we visit, even my kids love playing skip-bo with Grandma Veta. The greatest thing about my Grandma is her love for our Lord. She has been a faithful Sunday School teacher for many many years, and you will always find her early in the mornings with her Bible open as she studies and prays. She has a HUGE world map on her dining room wall where she can see the nations and she is faithful to lift up all the workers all over the world. I can't wait to return to see her.....and take her to lunch at Taco Bueno, one of her and my favorite restaurants! I love you Grandma Veta!

On the other side of the family is my Grandmother Mary Lee. She, too is another wonderful role model in my life. I am so thankful for the countless hours she has spent with me talking, looking at pictures, playing Scrabble, and investing in my life. She has been such a faithful servant to our Lord and to her family. She is a constant learner, a poet, a pianist, a wonderful cook, and so much more! I have admired her all the more the last few years as she has weathered the loss of my grandfather, her best friend for 60+ years. She has such a strength and sense of adventure, but more importantly an unwavering faith and trust in her Savior. Currently she is planning a 2010 trip to visit us here.....yea! I love you Grandmother and can't wait to see you next year! Finally, I would like to say that one of the constant encouragements in my life is that each day I know these two great women of faith are praying for me and for that I am TRULY blessed!
