About Patricia

(written by Ryan)

Patricia is one of the most selfless and loyal people I have ever known. She's always thinking of others and likes to send care packages, cook meals, or give gifts to people who could use it.  Her thoughtfulness is unparalleled!

Patricia worked hard to gain an education so she could be a stay-at-home mom, but still work if she needs to. She is extremely smart. She values education and she even graduated early so that we could graduate together. Currently she teaches online courses for BYU-Idaho and continues to provide a loving home environment for our family by staying at home with our son.

Patricia has a very strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Recently she was released from the young women’s program in our ward, and was heartbroken to leave those wonderful daughters of God.  Currently she serves in the scouts and is a teacher in the Relief Society—which she loves.  Her great love and wisdom make her one of the best examples of Christ-like love you will ever know, and they make me the luckiest guy on Earth.

Patricia is an excellent seamstress and usually ends up making one or two quilts every year for friends and family. She also picks things up very quickly. She is constantly learning about new hobbies and skills and teaching me how to do them. I also love the fact that she is an avid reader. She reads several books a month and she reads to Sam all the time. They read books before every nap, bedtime, and just for fun.

Patricia comes from a large family of 4 boys and 4 girls. She is the second to youngest so most of her siblings already have children. The thing I love about her family is that there are so many personalities you can always find someone who is ready to do something fun. Patricia's family can't wait for us to adopt again.
