Jim was born in Los Angeles, CA and lived in the Los Angeles area while growing up. He got his degree at LA City College. Joined the army. Came home and went to work for an underwriter in insurance and then thought about a career in carpentry, like his father. A short time later, he joined the ranks of LAPD and retired as Detective III in homicide. I grew up in Burbank, CA. Went to BYU briefly, and back to CA to work. I had my first apartment in Temple City and then Rosemead.We met at T&J Restaurant in Rosemead, CA where I was working.We got married in Studio City, CA October 19, 1974
First married -- lived Oct 1974 Baldwin Park, CA1976 Shortly after we moved to Canyon Country, CA1978 Burbank, CA1981 Newhall, CA (later called Santa Clarita, CA) We lived here until Jim retired from the LAPD. We built a home in American Fork, UT and arrived in Utah December 1994. We were in AF 9 years. We lived there until our home was built in Eagle Mountain, UT and stayed there 13 years. Then over to Saratoga Springs for 8 years. I hope we'll have many years ahead of us in St George!

Sabbath Day...
I share these truths as my testimony to you...
Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence. He loves us just as we are at this very moment.Daily Scripture: Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. - Psalm 150:6
Daily Quote: I think the Latter-day Saints have a great obligation pressing in upon them to rejoice in the Lord, to praise him for his goodness and grace, to ponder his eternal truths in their hearts, and to set their hearts on righteousness. - Bruce R. McConkie
*** *** ***Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all. *** *** ***
*** *** ***I am thankful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost as the third member of the Godhead. Walt said to me once: "I look forward to thanking the Holy Ghost in person when I get to Heaven. I don't think we give Him enough credit for all He does."Daily Scripture: And blessed are all they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost. - 3 Nephi 12:6
Daily Quote: We have been promised the constant companionship of the third member of the Godhead and hence the privilege of receiving revelation for our own lives. - Sheri L. Dew
