Hilly's Home



It has been a year and half but it seems no time has passed as we are making the most of our few short days with Hilary Rose. It is so weird to me that not only do I have a little sister that went on a mission, but now a little sis that is an RM. It is amazing how much I have learned from her in her hours back home. What a strength she is to me. Hearing her experiences from Costa Rica and her sweet testimony has prompted me to take an inventory of my own life and recommit to the simple truths of service and love.
I may be the oldest, but you are definitely an example to me.

Thank you sis, I love you.

I was so glad to find your blog on the Cottonwood site! This is Leslie Burt, good friends with Matt in highschool. I think our little boys were born on the same day, Sept 30? I get the scoop on you guys from his sister Erin, my husband does business with her. You have an adorable family, isn't motherhood the greatest joy ever! I couldn't be happier. It will be nice to keep up with you guys if you don't mind my blog stalking. Looks like you guys are doing great! I hope this isn't weird, me contacting you.
