A while back I said I was going to start "Friend-Fridays," dedicating a post to someone who has influenced my life for the good. Well, here it is...
Sandi has been blessed with so many talents. She is creative, ambitious, caring, smart, adventurous, good at anything she puts her mind to, thoughtful, open-minded, beautiful, and the list goes on.
I met Sandi when I was serving a LDS church mission in Tempe, Arizona. She helped us out and gave us rides to places and we became great friends. Our friendship has grown even more over the years. She lives in New York and is always up to something fun. This girl doesn't know how to be lazy! I've visited her a couple times in New York & she's been to Utah. I laugh so hard when we're together.
She is super multi-cultural. By that, I mean, she has an appreciation for different cultures. People of all races & backgrounds gravitate towards her because she truly cares & wants to get to know people. She is probably the only Caucasian that lives within 10 blocks of her apartment. She teaches & tutors children and they adore her. She goes the extra mile and gets to know the families of those she lives by & works with on a personal basis.
Sandi has shared her creativity with us on many occasions. She typed up a cookbook for HeRoos and I when we got married with her favorite recipes & we use it all the time. She also made Max an adorable quilt that we treasure. If you want to be inspired by this truly amazing person, you can peek in on her blog http://www.nymanzanita.blogspot.com/
p.s. Since my pictures are so disorganized, I "borrowed" a Sandi's picture from her blog. Thanks Sandi!

What a fun idea! And what a great way to leave some of your memories for future posterity... which reminds me, did you ever print your blog? Do you have a site you'd recommend? I think we talked about it awhile back when you were thinking about it, but I don't think I ever heard if you were happy with the results. I want to print mine - since it is our family's journal/scrapbook, too - but I'm not quite sure which service to use.
What a cool idea! Sandi sounds amazing
You're preachin' to the choir. I'm a big fan of Sandy already.
Wow...I want to get to know her too. Ha! Believe me...you made me sound WAY "cooler" than I am. I must have done a good job of fooling you. :) Seriously, thanks for your kind words SheRoos. I truly value our friendship and could write a list from here to China of your great qualities. Hugs to you all...
What a wonderful tribute. How nice to have such great friends to remember. Don't they make life wonderful?
BTW I love you new Family pictures, and the one of you on the side is really nice!!
