(this pic was taken Sept.08 when my parents took a trip to Macinac Island for there wedding anniversary)
LBC stands for Linda Burnham Chapman and that is what Rich calls my mom. I like to call her Momma. Today is her birthday!!! She turns 68 and I know she probably won't like me saying that but I think she looks great for her age. Her and my dad are currently driving to West Virgina to serve their 2nd mission for the church for the next 18mo. So she will be spending her birthday driving through Kansas or Kentucky. I miss her already but I am greatful for her example and desire to serve with my dad. I know she will back and we will get spend more time together. I wasn't always close to my mom in my young adult life this was my choosing I don't like admitting this now. I had a hard time being around such good people and my mom was #1 on that list. Now that I am older and a mother of my own I have grown to truely love this amazing women in my life. My mom and I are alike in many ways and I am thankful for this. When my mom and Dad were serving in Colorado 2006-2008 I think I called my mom almost every Sunday we would talk for hours it was always something I looked forward to and I know I will continue this while she serves in WV. My mom told all her kids before she left that for her Birthday this year she only wanted letters & cards no gifts. So I did mail a few things along w/ 68 reasons why I love my mom so much. I will not list them all now but I will list a few she is very beautiful, I love her smile, her laugh, she loves to watch sports and play, she loves my dad very much, she is the best gift giver, her strong testimony, very unselfish(9kids), She loves the Gospel otherwise I know she wouldn't leave her family behind for 18mo. to live in West Virginia. I love you momma!!! I hope you see this before the clock strikes midnight.
