Grandma Gibbons- As a kid, I loved going to Grandma Gibbon's house because she made the BEST malts in the world! My Grandma Gibbons loves to give and give. When I was little I thought her name was Grandma Givvins because of her love to give. My Grandma Gibbons is my step-grandma, but she never treated me that way. I always felt loved and welcomed as her own and I am grateful for that. She supported me in everything and I love her very much.
Grandma Steed- Big influence on me. My Grandma Steed was also very supportive, especially in my music. She loved to listen to me play the piano and every time I went to her house, she would have me sit down and play. She would close her eyes and she made me feel like a concert pianist. As a kid I loved to paint ceramics with her. She is a beautiful ceramics artist and I learned a lot of my art skills from her. She taught me how to color in the lines and to color certain directions to make the picture beautiful. I know I get a lot of my love for art and music from her and I am grateful for her encouragement to keep chasing my dreams. I am grateful for all she has done for me and love her so much.
Grandma Jenson- She is always so concerned for her family and does so much for us. She is so involved that when I was younger and dumb, I was embarassed because my grandma was at every little event I participated in, but now I am so grateful and she has really shown a great amount of love in doing that. She also makes me feel famous when I go to her house. My grandma was always trying to show me off somehow and just loved every minute of it! She is so proud of her family and would do anything for us. My grandma is the party queen and is responsible for our family being so close. I am so grateful that she cares so much for her family and I will always try to be like my Grandma Jenson. I love her so much.
I am grateful for my mother-in-law, Jane. She raised the most incredible children and of course my amazing husband. Jane is someone I can always rely on. She will always be there if we need her. She is so funny and so much fun to be around when we get laughing and she is quite the story teller! My favorite quality about Jane is that she doesn't judge and accepts you for who you are. She doesn't look down on anyone. I am grateful for her example and her love for the Gospel. Thanks Jane for everything and we love you! 
And of course, my beautiful mother. My mom has been my best friend my whole life. I have never kept a secret from her. I knew I could go to her about anything and that she would support me and love me no matter what. My mom is always there to listen, even when it didn't seem that important. She always made it important to her. My mom was always there with me to go through any trial I was going through. My mom never missed a single event in my entire life. She attended every choir concert, ballet recital, voice recital, talent show, and every single thing that ever happened in my life. She is always proud of me, even when I mess up. She always tells me she loves me and even now, it gives me so much comfort. She taught me the importance of prayer, and not only did she teach me, but she showed me through her example. Whenever I walked in her room at night, she was always on her knees praying. I remember she would be on her knees forever! I always wondered as a child what was taking so long, but now I know. My mom never gives up on the Lord. She never gives up on ANYTHING or anyone. Her capacity to love is tremendous and I am so grateful to be her daughter. I am extremely blessed. I love you mom!
