The Lindberg Family: 8 years ago

I have been thinking a lot lately about what I was doing 8 years ago and where my life was. I had just sworn off men, again, after getting my heart broken, again. I had just spent 40 days reading the Book of Mormon straight through and had a great experience with that. I was just about to meet a man I thought would sweep me off my feet only to land in the ditch, again. And I was thinking a lot of where I was in my life and what I wanted. It is easy for me to remember in detail things from that time in my life because that is when Tanner was born. I was so excited to be an aunt and that my brother and Jenny had a healthy baby boy. I was so excited to meet him and my excitement just continued after I did. When things in my life weren't going how I wanted them to go I was so excited to have Tanner in my life that it was okay. I read stories about Sheri Dew and her nephew Tanner and I knew that I wanted to be that kind of aunt to my Tanner and all the other neices and nephews to follow. Tanner has always been a special boy to me. He is full of smiles and adventure. He loves his cousins and his brother and sister and is such a big help with them all. I remember right after we got Danna we were at mom's house and she was asleep in my room in the basement. I had a baby monitor set up so I could hear her from upstairs. Tanner was with me when she woke up and he rushed to the monitor and picked it up like a radio and said, "Don't worry sweet girl, we're coming to get you." I almost cried. I remember for months he would say, "I love that girl." And he has never been scared to show it. Now he is eight years old and he has big boy adventures to attend to but he still takes time to show his love. Today I asked him to take Danna to primary for me and off they went, hand in hand. I wish I had the picture to share. I hope he knows how much we love him and how proud we are of him and his decision to be baptised. We are looking forward to next Sat. to share that special day with him. Love you Tann!
