Support From Unexpected Places


This is my oldest child, Michael.  No mother could ever hope for a better son.  Ask anyone who knows him, they will tell you the same.  I wanted to share a quick story about him.  As my husband and I were discussing my choice of becoming Mrs. Utah International, Michael walked into the room.  I asked him what he thought about his mother being Mrs. Utah and competing for the title of Mrs. International 2013 in Chicago.  He immediately said, "I'm coming with you!"  I further explained the sacrifices that would have to be made by all, especially him since I would be gone a lot and he would have to watch his 3 little sisters a lot more to help out.  He paused to think for a moment, looked me straight in the eyes, and with more wisdom than any 16 year old should have said, "Mom, I believe this will change your life for the better and I will do ANYTHING to help make that happen for you."

Needless to say, tears instantly came to my eyes.  He was right, this is going to change me and my life for the better.  It already has.  So grateful for the support of my husband and son.  I can't do this without them.
