Happy Birthday Mom & Grandma !!

Today is Sharri's mom birthday, it is her 45th anniversary of her 21st birthday. She is amazing and a great example to all of us. Last year, she had back surgery, and has been homebound for the past year in a hospital bed. During this time she has been dependant on her husband to work full time, clean the house, grocery shopping, laundry, driving to Dr. appts, meals, etc, etc, etc..... She was able to catch up on all the movies, TV shows, books and most importantly crocheting. She crocheted her new granddaughter her baby blessing dress, 15 beany hats for her daughters YW Girls camp, and the list goes on and on. She was able to retire in January 2008 from Jordan School District Transportation after 33 years of service. Her children were able to do service by providing dinners every Sunday, and her ward Relief Society during the week.

About a month ago, she had a spinal cord stimulator put in to help with the constant pain from her back to her ankles. She has been able to go to church, the grocery store, THE CRAFT STORE, and drive herself to many places. This has been a blessing long awaited and truly a miracle of technology.

SO HATS OFF TO MY MOM & GRANDMA!! We love you tons and tons.
