SARAH

Today is Sarah's birthday. I don't know much about her early life, except that she was born in Walnut Creek, Calif. But I know that she met Alex during the Fall semester 1995 at BYU. She lived in a home across the street from Liberty Square.
I remember the day she lost her engagement ring. We were in Provo at the time in Alex's apt. I don't remember if she called Alex and told him or if she ran over and told him. But she was upset and we all ran to her place. She had already looked everyplace and we all looked again. I think I remember that Dad and Alex took the drain apart but I can't remember if it was in the pipe or som
eplace else. I just know they found it. She was so relieved. It was a traumatic moment.
What I do know is that she is a wonderful mother. She and Alex give their children every op
portunity to see and do the things around them. And she helps them do the most creative things. I also know that she and Alex love to cook together and are not afraid to try new things. That's a good thing, too. Having Sarah as an Eastman is a great thing.

And this is a sweet picture of her. I have met her only a few times but liked her right away. Glad you have written about her.

If I remember right, we found the ring in the jewelry cleaner. Why I thought it needed to be cleaned so soon . . . I haven't taken it off much in the last 11 years - except when Justin was born and I didn't want to wear anything "sharp" aroud my new baby. I've since learned that it's not necessary to remove it then either.
