READ Quick!!!!! Shaila doesn't know I posted this on her blog!!!!

Hello Dear readers, you may think you are reading a post by Shaila, but... I logged in for her and am posting this blog entry, so read fast before she deletes it! . You see I tagged her on my blog. It was a tag to describe yourself. Shaila has a ton of talents but she doesn't see herself like I do. She frets over talent nights. BIG TIME! I know her quite well... well enough to have her password to her blog, as well as her pin number to her checking account! Anyone wanna go shopping??? LOL She forgets I have been accused of having a photographic memory, boy wont she be surprised when she logs on!!!

So... I better type fast!

Six words to describe her...

Supporter! If you are having a problem she is there in your corner cheering you on! She wont let you stay down for long!
Good Listener- Cant tell you how often I have counted on her for advise
EXCELLENT teacher! Did she tell you she got called to teach institute??
Gospel scholar-We have read and shared notes from all the standard works. She has great insights! I LOVE reading with her!
GREAT MOM! She had to be held back at a soccer game when her son got carded!
FUNNY!!
Decorator /Wedding planner Check out what she did for her sons weddings!
Oh and fashion coordinator. She is picking out my outfit when my son gets married, something about it REALLY is important that shoes match your outfit!
Tender hearted
Oh and the last one... TRUSTING... I mean she did give me her blog info!!!
I really could go on and on. But I better sign off before I get caught! SO, your assignment is make a comment on what talents you see in her!

That is so fun that you did this for her. Or is it really you Shaila?

Those are some awesome qualities. You are stocked plum full with the best. I can tell that you are all that and a bundle of hoop la la la.

That is great that you are a ghost writer. I think I love your style.

How funny is that? Amen to all that was already said about her. She is a wonderful aunt...cousin...whatever!~

(as an aside to your questions - I don't think my archives will answer them: grew up in Washington state, after graduation went to Ricks, then on to BYU, graduated and served a Spanish speaking mission in Dallas, came back and started law school at BYU, after my first year went to work for a firm in Lima, Peru during the summer, went back to BYU for a semester, then the opportunity to do a semester abroad in Brisbane came up, I went there, ended up meeting William and marrying him 4 months later, we lived in Australia for five years and just moved to Indiana one year ago. My life in a nutshell!!! You are right - I have been very very very blessed.

What about you??? I am trying to figure out all the family relations that are going on with you guys - I think you are all fabulous!!

It is wonderful to know there are people like YOU TWO in this world!!!

Pancake said...

LOL!! Gotcha !!! I was hoping you would leave the post up! So you want me to sign back on to FIX the red??? So it will all be the SAME color?

I would be more than happy to write more posts!Ü You know when you go on vacations and such! Just dont change your password!!

So I was "drawn in" by the title of this post from the mormon mommy website. Can I just say, you are an awesome blogger! It seems like you have a wonderful family, thank you for sharing. (I hope you don't mind that some complete stranger was stalking you for a bit today.) Anyways, have a wonderful day. Thanks for putting a smile on my face!

I'd like to add:

Talkative!(You won't believe how fast she can talk!)
Fun loving! (Never a dull moment with Shaila around!)
Compassionate! (Came to visit me in the hospital!)

I am so fortunate to actually know her IN PERSON!! She is INCREDIBLE!

Shaila is all of these things , and much much more. Knowing her pretty well, just the mention of this awesome mama tugs at my heartstrings. you cannot know Shaila and not LOVE HER. She is the best example I've had in my life of what a mother, friend, sister, daughter, faithful servant of God should be. For that example (and all of the many wonderful fun traits and stories that come along with it) I am forever grateful.
