MAY IS FULL OF BIRTHDAYS!

MAY 4 - NATE COX, BROTHER
Nate is one of the kindest guys you'll ever meet. Don't let his toughness fool you. He is always supportive and giving and always willing to help those around him. I look up to him so much and appreciate such a good example to come after. I can't wait to live near him and take part in all of his fun projects and ideas! Sure do love you Nate!

MAY 5 - KATELYNN WANKIER, NIECE
Katelynn is a doll that I haven't had too much time to spend with (she lives in California), but will get to be with a lot more soon...as they move to PROVO! She is turning three. She always has the shiniest lips-from all the lip gloss she has- and the cutest smile. I can't wait to be with you more Katelynn!

MAY 6 - GRANDMA COX, GRANDMA Ü
Grandma is such a neat lady. Definitely one that everyone could take note from. She never forgets anyone's birthday, graduation Ü, or event going on in their lives. And somehow, she has this sense if anyone needs a call. Grandma I sure do love you and appreciate all that you have done for me!

MAY 8 - CARRIE COX, SISTER
Carrie is incredible when it comes to balancing life. Her house is always a place to gather (and she is a fabulous hostess), her kids are adorable, her cooking is DELIGHTFUL, and she still manages to work on the side, keep Curt in line and make a huge garden. Thanks for all the great talks and your support in everything. Can't wait to be nearer!

MAY 10 - MARISSA WANKIER, SISTER
Marissa is such a cute girl. She is turning 13 this year and is quite the young woman. She reminds me so much of how I was when I was her age. Although she is a lot skinnier. Marissa always knows how to tell a good story and especially make kids laugh. She is so thoughtful and kind...and incredibly fashionable! Ü

MAY 17 - GRANDPA TOBLER, GRANDPA
Grandpa welcomed with with open arms and a big fat kiss on my cheek when I first met him. He has always made me feel like one of his grandchildren. When we first met (while Preston and I were dating, he asked me "So you are the one that Preston says he can kiss all he wants." Ü Grandpa has such a great sense of humor and a kindness that's hard to come by.

MAY 18 - BEN DUKE, COUSIN
Ben is on his mission right now and I am so proud of him (or should I say well pleased). He probably will never read this but he is still such a good friend of mine that I wouldn't miss this chance. He has always been so thoughtful to me and easy for me to get along with. I know that the people that he serves now are very special to get a guy like him to come to them!

MAY 21 - MICHELLE COX, SISTER
Michelle is such an amazing person. One of those people you meet and leave wanting to be better. She is such a good mom and always takes time to help and support others. I am so glad that Nate found her and that I have gotten the chance to know her. Michelle, thanks for your example to me and your love towards our family. You are definitely a gem.

MAY 23 - MOM COX, MOM
My mom is remarkable. She raised six children, has moved from place to place, has supported my dad and all of us and is still running strong. She always has a wit about her that places a smile on all those in the room. And most importantly, she is one of my best friends. She has always listened to me (which is hard) and given me guidance through my life. I love you mom!
