She also makes balloon animals!<\/p>\n<p>* Paige is Lucky<br \/>\nShe works hard for it, but she does win a lot of radio contests.  She&#8217;s our entertainment budget.  We&#8217;ve been on trips to St. George, Disneyland, San Francisco, and most recently, Cancun, and we&#8217;ve gone to many other fun activities due to her &#8216;luck&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>* Paige has Friends<br \/>\nShe makes friends easily, and seems to have friends wherever she goes.  She also keeps in touch with her friends from Elementary school through college, and they&#8217;re all great people.<\/p>\n<p>* Paige Supports me<br \/>\nShe doesn&#8217;t complain when I have to work late or when I am off to work on someone&#8217;s basement, etc.  She didn&#8217;t even raise her eyebrows when I told her I was going to rip out all of our light switches and replace them with new ones!  She may roll her eyes at some of my ideas, but I can count on her backing me up.<\/p>\n<p>* Paige is Musical<br \/>\nPaige has a great talent for music.  She loves to sing and play bells, and she plays the piano as well.<\/p>\n<p>* Paige is a Geek Girl<br \/>\nAlthough she probably wouldn&#8217;t admit it, Paige likes her gadgets. She likes the automation system in the house, and she loves the roomba.<\/p>\n<p>* Paige has a great family<br \/>\nPaige&#8217;s parents, Pat and Eugene are pretty much the ideal in-laws.  They aren&#8217;t critical or condescending, they invite us to events and activities and for sunday dinners, and are good company.<\/p>\n<p>* Paige is Adventurous<br \/>\nShe has always had a sense of adventure, and is willing to try pretty much anything at least once.  When we were first married, we used to do spontaneous trips and getaways (one time, we decided to go to the grand canyon one afternoon, and left that night!), and although it&#8217;s harder with the kids, she&#8217;s still up for a good adventure.<\/p>\n<p>* Paige Loves our kids<br \/>\n5 kids is no easy feat to pull off, but even though they try her patience (and mine!), Paige loves the kids, and would do anything to help them grow up into responsible, nice people.<\/p>\n<p>* Paige is Beautiful<br \/>\nShe is the most gorgeous thing I&#8217;ve ever seen or expect to see.<\/p>\n<p>* Paige is Smart<br \/>\n&#8216;Dumb Blonde&#8217; definitely doesn&#8217;t apply here.  Paige is a smart one.<\/p>\n<p>* Paige is Clean but not a neat freak<br \/>\nAlthough Paige works hard to keep the house clean and tidy (and tries to get the kids to help), sometimes you have to give a little.<\/p>\n<p>* Paige is Patient<br \/>\nI give her plenty of opportunities to test her patience, too.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>* Paige Likes Parties<br \/>\nEver since I met her, Paige has hosted parties.  Whether a Sunday cake get-together in her apartment at BYU, planning a fun birthday party for one of the kids, or having neighbors or friends over for a BBQ in the back yard, Paige likes to host parties.<\/p>\n<p>* Paige is Kind<br \/>\nShe is always thinking of others, and when she hears that someone is having problems, she helps out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>* Paige is Creative She teaches the Relief Society lesson about once a month, and always has creative, fun ideas to keep the lessons interesting.
