Dear Sisters, Good Morning!!!! Notice the time I sent this and you'll see when I have time to read mail!! I normally don't write back because we all receive enough mail. Since I've enjoyed reading about you all, I thought I'd tell you a little about me. *My name is Peggy--it is really Margaret, Peggy is a common nickname back east. *Screenname Phuffnstuf (not taken from the child's character--HR Puffinstuf) *I was born March 20, 1952--(I'M AN OLDIE) in Black's Harbour New Brunswick, Canada ( way back east--across the border of Maine). *Moved to UT when I was 8 *I am the 2nd of 7 children *Attended CCH (Church College of Hawaii)--now BYU-Hawaii- met hubby there--he had just returned from his mission to Taiwan and was teaching Chinese at the LTM which was on campus. Romantic place to meet and fall in love! *Married in SL Temple Feb. 11 1972 *Children--5--4 living -24 yr old RM daughter-finishing up at BYU -21 yr old son--totally inactive--am learning unconditional love from him -18 yr old daughter--first year at BYU-- -16 yr old--a wonderful son - daughter, Alison, would have been 4 on Sept. 6th--which was Labor Day the year she was born! As you can see by the age span--SHE WAS A SURPRISE! *Lived in SLC, Phoenix AZ, Cleveland, OH area for 13 yrs. Lexington, KY for 3 yrs. Now living in SLC--5 yrs. *Have served as RS Pres. for last 3 1/2 yrs. I serve as a visiting teacher also. *Hobbies--spending time with my best friend--my husband, raising the children, reading, baking, walking with friends, house plants, you could read my profile if you'd like. *This house is going to be quiet and lonesome when the girls leave in 2 weeks for BYU--I will miss them tons--we are very close! With only one child left at home, I hope to have more time for RS calling, yardwork, reading, learning something on my list that I don't know how to do. (This list is REALLY long) *Life hasn't been easy these last 7 years, but the Lord has blessed us greatly and we have felt his hand in our lives even when things are the toughe st. *When my children were small I never thought this time in my life would come--it does-quicker than you think! My advice---Enjoy them at every stage! Have fun with your children while they are young--they are gone too soon. Be REALLY involved when they are teenagers--they need you more at this stage than when they are younger. Don't be afraid to be their friend. "Love them, just love them." *Sorry this is so long. How can you pack 45 yrs. into a few of sentences!!! LOL *I enjoy this group except with my family, calling and I have to work outside my home, I can't read all the mail and have to delete much. SORRY! Love, ( ) *** @ Peg \|/ \|/ \|/
