Dallas and Colleen

I was able to go visit my friend Dallas and his adorable wife, Colleen, and 

two boys before they move to Salt Lake.  Dallas is an air traffic controller and got

an awesome job working in the tower at the Salt Lake Airport.  

It is so crazy to see Dallas not only a Dad of 1 but 2 boys!  He is an

excellent father and I love his wife.

Dallas and I taught swim lessons together

for 3 summers at Kino Pool and became the best of friends.

Then he moved away to dive at BYU and I stayed here.

Then he broke his back during a diving practice

and I got cancer.  He moved back to Mesa, had back surgery and

I started my rounds of chemo.  We were like 2 old people.  

I was wearing a wig and he had to use a walker.  

Funny story:

(Side note: Colace is an over the counter laxative)

One day  I went over to his house to keep him company

since he had just gotten home from the hospital after his 

second surgery.  We were chatting and then I realized I had 

forgotten to take my colace (I had a treatment 2 days prior.)

So I whip it out and Dallas says, "hey can I have a couple of those too?

My Mom forgot to pick up some extra at the store."  So I without thinking much 

of it, gave him two pills.  And then it hit me, Dallas and I are sharing COLACE!  

How in the world did we get here?  

 Dallas and I had gone from being two

very active teenagers living life, to two

19 year olds taking colace.  It was pretty awesome.

Dallas and I have always been close.
We went through a lot together.  He would
even come to my treatments with me so I wouldn't be alone
when my family or Tina Linford couldn't come.
 When he got married, he told me that if I would be

willing to wear a suit, I would be the best man.  Ya right.

Like that would happen! 

I love Dallas and his sweet family and I am so happy and proud of him!!
