This has been a great week, including visits from family and holiday celebrations. We watch the Olympics with great interest. You may have seen Noelle Pikus Pace capture her first Olympic medal for women's skeleton in Soshi. Noelle and her family are friends of ours and neighbors (when we lived in north Orem). Her story of coming back after multiple setbacks is inspiring. She is a motivational speaker, an athlete, and a mom.
I also had the chance to begin chronicling mom's journal of first days spent in Castle Valley. The project is just beginning with lots more to do, but the memories and sacrifices made in our behalf are astounding to read now with hindsight. In every sense of the word, Granny is a champion. She was the inspiration behind our Castle Valley experience and mother that held it all together.
We are surrounded by a wonderful family and have many miracles all about us. This is largely due to our wives and mothers and their never-ending dedication and love. My Sweetheart has truly given me my greatest blessings. She works hard everyday to make our small piece of the world and family-life even better. She is the heart of our home, love of my life, and dedicated mother.
Who would have known? As we look to make bigger and better accomplishments though out life, remember we did not get where we are by ourselves. We are the product of the sacrifice of others.
Therein lies true greatness.
Noelle Pikus Pace
