To The Fathers In Our Lives

Thank you all for your selfless service on our behalf.
We're so happy that you're all a part of our eternal family!
We're thinking of you on this Father's Day!

We wanted to say a little about each of these amazing men.
Unfortunately, these little blurbs do not do them justice, but I'll try anyway.


Adam's Father, Terry:
Adam's father is generous and works very hard for his family. He is, and always has been, very devoted to his wife and children. He is quick to laugh and it's earned him the nickname "Big Ter." Adam's dad is a remarkable businessman and has his own very successful business in Calgary.


Adam's (Maternal) Grandfather, Gerald Melchin:

Grandpa Melchin is such a sweet man. I love the spirit that he carries with him. There is a warmth and a kindness that he radiates. Grandpa Melchin served in the first quorum of the Seventy, and has served as a mission president and a temple president.

My (Paternal) Grandfather, Boyd Busath:

I love my Grandpa Busath! He is quick to laugh and to say something kind to you. His easy-going manner instantly lets you know that you are with someone you can trust, someone to whom you mean the world. He always seems to have all the time in the world to hear about his grandkids and what is important to them. He is dedicated, too--just look at him BBQ-ing in the hailstorm! (The family dinner must go on!) My Grandpa Busath served in the US Navy, and was stationed in Japan when my father was born. He worked as a CPA and is super smart (I wish that had been passed on to me!!)

My (Maternal) Grandfather, Kenneth Burnett:

I love my Grandpa Burnett. He is refined, classy, and such a remarkable man. He has such an eye for design, and his home is always impeccable. I love his laugh and his sweet manner. He was the youngest member ever (at age 13) of the Utah Symphony!

And my step-grandfather, Walter Arabasz:

Walter joined our family several years ago when he married my Grams. He is such a gentle person. He is wise and kind, and I enjoy conversations with him because he always knows just what advice to give (and what advice to leave unsaid!) He works for the University of Utah in the seismology department, and is warning Utah about the impending earthquakes that are due in the valley. Perhaps some of you Utah-ites have seen him on the news!

Happy Father's Day to you all!
