Getting To Know Me


My name is Heidi P, and I serve as the second counselor over the Young Women in our ward. I was born in Burley, Idaho, which is a small town outside of Twin Falls. I was raised on a farm and feel like that is the absolute best way to grow up. We could run and play for miles and I also learned the value of hard work. From a young age, I learned to burn ditches, set siphon tubes, hoe lots of beets, move hand lines and drive tractor. As a young girl, I loved where I grew up and vowed that I would marry a hard working farm boy just like my dad and teenage brothers. With that said, my brothers didn’t turn out to be farmers and my dad has since left the farm. I didn’t end up marrying a farm boy, but I did fall madly in love with my childhood best friend and he is the perfect person for me in every way.

After we got married, I attended Utah Valley State College and worked as an orthodontic assistant while Jeremy finished his degree at BYU. About three years later we had our first baby, Sophie a month before we moved to San Antonio for Jeremy to attend Law School at St. Mary’s University. In San Antonio, we had our second baby girl, Calla and then moved to Dallas for Jeremy to pursue a Masters of Law in Taxation at Southern Methodist University. While there, we had our first little boy, Tate, and then moved here to Katy where Jeremy got his first job. Since being here in Katy we again added to our family and had our little Ruby 11 months ago. We can now say we have had a baby in each of the three largest cities in Texas. Jeremy and I have been married 9 ½ years and while talking about the past decade we realized that he spend most of that time going to school while I have been having babies. These four precious spirits truly have changed our lives and we can’t imagine life without them. We are both now converted to the big city way of life and really enjoy living close to Houston and all it has to offer.

Things that I love, that make me happy and glad are: clean towels, jeans that fit well, Jeremy in a freshly cleaned suit, organized spaces, sexy shoes, fresh cut flowers, the beach, a well decorated room, my children laughing, bookstores, Bumble and Bumble shampoo, kisses, the Temple, a tuned piano, mint chocolate chip ice cream, The Container Store, a hot bubble bath, lip-gloss, Jeremy’s jokes, anything that smells good, running shoes, a freshly mopped floor, a great magazine, stir fry, a challenging workout, 3X5 index cards and warm clean sheets. All and all I am most content when I am with my family and can feel the spirit in my home.
