Life Is Simple It's Just Not Easy

Meet brave Dan:

And his amazing wife Melanie:

Dan has Cancer

And they are living and loving life!

Here are some pictures of them and how they choose to fight cancer........side-by-side!

Sometimes it's hard

But they have each other and that's what matters

And with all that's going on, they still have managed to graduate from BYU

You both have passed many tests, and continue to pass more. We're all so proud of you!

Why I love Taking Pictures

My Husband and 4 children are the most precious people to me in the whole world! I find myself wondering, how on earth have I been so blessed to have a wonderful marriage and close to perfect children. We have a great life. We try to take advantage of every day. We try to capture memories as our children seem to grow over night. Each one of them are unique, and each have their own little personalities and traits that make them beautiful. Pictures help me remember where we've been and what we've learned. Pictures help tell the story of life, love, and learning. One day when they are my age, I'll be able to look back and remember with pictures how they wrinkled their noses, blew kisses, played in the mud, painted on the walls, and grew up over night.
