My name is Heather G. We recently moved into the Nottingham Country Ward for the second time in December. I was born in Utah while my dad was still going to school at BYU. I lived there until I was seven and moved to Temple, TX in July of 1995. We lived there for several years and midway through my freshman year of high school we moved to Lockhart, TX. We stayed there for two years and then moved back to Temple in the middle of my Junior year. I come from a family of seven. I have an older sister, two younger brothers and another younger sister. My mom had all of us within 8 years so needless to say we are all very close.
I graduated from Temple High School in May of 2006 and started attending Texas A&M University that fall. That fall is when I met Brian, my husband. Our first meeting was far from “love at first sight” but after about 3 dates I knew he was the one I was going to marry. We got engaged in January and were married in the San Antonio Temple in May. We will be celebrating our four year wedding anniversary May 12.
After we got married we lived in Portland, TX for a summer, and Brian finished school at TAMU in the fall. Brian got a job with Mustang Engineering and that is when we moved into the ward the first time. We moved into Westlake ward a year later, and I graduated from University of Houston-Victoria with a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies (teaching) and had our first son, Travis.
I never entered the workforce and have been lucky enough to stay home with Travis (15 months). He brings such joy (and exhaustion) to our home. I am currently pregnant with our second little boy. He is expected to make his entrance in early August. Right now I am very much enjoying being a stay at home mom and have been busy trying to get our house ready for another child. We still have a long way to go. I love reading, finding new recipes to try, learning how to sew, and going on walks with Travis. We both love being outside when the weather is nice. We don’t have any pets yet, but Santa may have to bring the boys a puppy this Christmas or next.
I am currently serving as the Young Women’s Beehive advisor. I LOVE my calling. This group of young women is so special and I am grateful to be a part of their journey. I am so grateful for the ward and for the many friends that we have made and the people that have helped our family. I am also so grateful for our Savior and the restored gospel. I know that by living it’s principles we can be happier, better people.
