We are the luckiest family in the world. We had the opportunity to live next to the best family in the whole world the Ott's!! We moved to Richfield in 1993 and lived in a 4-plex. Just as regular apartments do we got new neighbors a lot. But the best ones ever were the Ott's. Darrin and Becca had two kids just like us a boy Dason and a girl Janikah. From the first day of meeting them it was like we had known them our whole lives. We had great times together laughing, having FHE, taking our kids places. We think about the Ott's every time there is an eclipse. Becca had made these really cool glasses to watch it so we stayed up late with the kids so they could experience their first eclipse. Becca was a super mom and still is. She could scrapbook, craft, sew and make these fabulous dinners and still look perfect and so did the kids! What is so amazing is she still does even after having 6 kids. Plus she makes the best gifts, they are always homemade and from the heart! We got the chance to see Becca, Jani and Easton this weekend when they came up to a volleyball tournament in Richfield. I love when we get the chance to see them. We went to Kanab last year for football and as Dane got on the line he just happened to be up against Das. He said," Hey Das"! It took Das a min. to realize it was Dane. It was a blast to see them again! They are the kind of people you miss like crazy but when you get the chance to see them its like they never left. I remember one of the scariest days in our lives they were there to help us. Brynn had a seizure in our apartment and I yelled to Justin to go get Darrin to help us. Because he is a Doctor, and I remember how calm he was and gentle with Brynn. He made a very scary time in our lives not so scary. We also had tons of good times. One time Justin and I left for a ride and I left cookies baking in the oven and forgot about them and when we got home they told us about the black smoke and from then on I was Smokey the Bear!! Ha Ha. They would do anything for us! We love you guys!! Hugs and Kisses
