Archie gave a little talk about Miriam at the recognition night.

Miriam was happy to get to celebrate with Grandma Linda and Grandma Stephanie. Lots of other family were in attendance also. Thank you to everyone who came!

Things I love about Miriam: Her ability to make people smile. She is so great with kids, and does so well with making them feel comfortable and happy. She is confident and not afraid to stand up for what she believes is right. She has a lot of knowledge of the Gospel. She is so good at being part of our family team, and I love knowing that when it is "us against the world", she is on our side. She has such a tender heart for all of God's little creatures....especially if they are furry or reptilian. She is a smart, beautiful, capable and sweet young woman. I love you, Miriam!!
