I am not consistent with birthday shout outs on my blog (sorry!) but I wanted to take a post to say Happy Birthday to my Mom.
Amber Brimhall is from a small quirky town located on Route 66 in northern Arizona. When we go back to her home town to visit Grandma B. I wonder how she could have grown up in such a foreign land and turned out so amazing. I think that small town played on her ability to be creative, interesting, fun loving and adventurous (being bored and looking for activities to have fun!)
My mom has mastered so many talents along the way. My grandma had a dance studio in the basement of her home so my mom and all her sisters took dance lessons for years. She had a trampoline in her backyard that aided toward her incredible gymnastic abilities. She grew up in a hick town and fit the bill perfectly. She wore Wranglers and was a rodeo queen.
My mom's gymnastic abilities took her to Rick's college. After two years she transfered to BYU Provo and also competed on their gymnastics team. She was offered a position to train and prepare with the US Olympic gymnastics team. That same year she was of the first women athletes to be offered scholarship (Thank you Title 9). With all those opportunities my mom was also offered a hand in marriage and that is what she took.
My mom has been a wonderful ensign to our family. She is a strong woman and has always radiated qualities of honesty, integrity, service, fun and love. I have never known a woman who gives more to her family and others around her. Daily she puts others first. My gives and never asks in return.
The last few years she has taken on a new career and it has been a change for us children who are so used to being spoiled by her and her attention (not that she doesn't still do that!). But these last few years she has liberated herself and has sought out more talents. Good for you Mom!
Anyway, 6 children and two grandchildren and a life legacy. I think my mom has done a pretty good job at life.
I love you very much and Happy Birthday!

ps - wyatt borrowed your "current read" on cd from the library. we'll (and by that i mean "he'll") let you know what we (he) think(s)
You guys can borrow the book if you want. I finished it! Do you have any suggestions on a good book I could get from the Lib?
hey aj, its old diana palmer from your el ed program in hawaii. through a series of pathetic blog linking, i found your blog, and admit that i like to check it from time to time. i felt compelled to tell you, you looked beautiful on your wedding day. i heard you talk "girl wedding jive" in classes and such, so it seemed only right to say something. plus i like you, your taste in movies and music, and wish you and jake an eternity of happiness and bliss. your dress was R-A-D and will never be a regret.
thank you for letting me be trash talker 3.
DIANA! Holy cow. So happy to hear from you and thank you for such a sweet message. You are too good to me. You should start a blog because you would share such great things. You are so fresh. How are things going? What is your darling little family up to?
