RYAN'S THOUGHTS ON JILL

 

Jill is the most amazing woman in the world.  Jill is talented and caring.  Most of the time you will find Jill balancing mother/wife duties and then doing something for someone else.  She loves putting together parties, activities, projects and just about anything that requires planning.  You wont meet anyone that can plan better than Jill.  I often come home to a list of ideas she has for doing something for someone else- whether it be her own family, a friend or a neighbor.

Two of the most attractive traits that I noticed when I first met  Jill was her independence and outgoing spirit.  Jill can meet a person for the first time and within 5 minutes become their best friend.  She enjoys talking to people and creating friendships. Jill has always been self motivated in achieving goals that she sets for herself.  Once she puts her mind and efforts to something, she will make it happen. It is always impressive to watch her plans come to life, and most of the time things always end up way better than I could imagine.  Jayna is already turning out to be a polite and strong-willed girl, and I know she gets it from her mother.  Jayna is always excited to go to sunday school classes, preschool, and lessons of any type.  She already thinks she can do everything herself (and she often tells us that) and I know she gets a lot of that spirit from her Jill.  Jayna sees Jill doing projects, planning parties, making arts and crafts and gets a feeling of self-confidence from Jill's shining example.  It helps to know that your child is already growing up to think that they can do or achieve anything. 
Jill is a great mom.  She spends so much time and energy to make every day enjoyable for Jayna.  Parenting takes lots of patience and has many ups and downs. But no matter how poorly things go, Jill is able to start every day with a fresh start and a good morning for Jayna.  She makes sure to provide Jayna with an array of experiences and activities on a  regular basis.  Whether that is season passes to the local water park during the summer or yoga classes during the winter, they are a team that enjoys trying new adventures. Jill is dedicated to her family.  Jill is dedicated to the gospel.  She is dedicated to making everything a better experience for everyone - which makes for a happy family and a happy life.
