A suggestion for world peace!
I have come up with the best solution for world peace. Everyone needs Chris Holyoak for a neighbor. If they can't have Chris, perhaps they could just talk to Chris every day (okay that really may not work--Chris just can't talk to everyone). Well, now I think I have a better understanding of why our neighborhood works so well. Chris is in the center! It makes me realize that the saying "Christ is the center of our home" is really a profound thought. Chris tries to follow the Savior and our neighborhood (and her family) is blessed. I really am making a short story long, but the bottom line is that Chris makes herself available for people. Tierra wanted a new skirt for Easter. I am not a seamstress, nor do I have any patterns, so off we headed to Chris' house. She set us up with a pattern and directions. About every half hour later we were off to Chris' house to ask another question or to make sure what we were doing was right. Later that night Tierra has a new skirt that she sewed herself, a big smile on her face and twinkles in her eyes. This all happened because Chris Holyoak is my neighbor!

I have to agree that Chris is one of the most wonderful people on earth. You don't even have to ask her for help, she just pitches in wherever she's needed. My wedding reception was successful, largely in part, because Chris helped decorate, serve, and clean up. She is a wonderful woman and a great role model to many in my generation.
Aaawww... has she read this?
I love Chris too.
We love Aunt Chris too! She is such a special person. I love that she is who she is.
Love The Mallorys
Yes she is amazing! She has done so much for me, I have no idea how I could make it with out her. I was not a very good bride, I didn't want to plan anything so I am so glad that she was willing to. And it was the most beautiful reception ever. She is opening her basement up for Jacob and I to come and stay and spending a lot of her time to get it ready for us. Actually I just got done talking to her and she is on her way to help with a blood drive, just because that is how she is. If I could be anything when I grow up, it would her!
What a great post! She is amazing! and by the way she is sitting here with me; "Thanks Everyone!!"
Thanks everyone - you are too kind! I have long had 2 goals; 1) to become the favorite "Aunt Chris" & 2) to have people say nice things about me when I die. Since there are currently NO 'Aunt Chris' on either side of the family, I am making significant progress on that goal. And, to have such kind things said while I yet live, ahhh "Life doesn't get any better that this." To my children, THANKS, but I am still spending your inheritence as fast as I can!!!
Chris
She is my favorite too! I can't tell you how much she has changed my life. I wouldn't be where I am if it werent' for her!
