The Beginning

My name is Lori Judy. I grew up the oldest of nine children in a small town of Ammon, Idaho. I was lucky to have been raised a farm girl. Farm life was the best! I learned to ride horses, drive a tractor, milk a cow, and hang laundry to dry. I spent many days swimming in the canal, sun tanning on the roof, listening to American top 40, baking coffee cake and cookies, and babysitting my younger siblings. But lets get down to the nitty gritty... I have a passion for singing, dancing, piano, running track, reading, and boys!! I didn't just love peanut butter, I ate it by the spoonfuls! I could also do the best hurkies on the trampoline!

I graduated from Bonnevile High School and moved onto more and important things...Ricks College. My friends, roommates, and cousins meant a lot to me because they made me laugh, wrapped their arms around me when I cried, got me through the zits, glasses, makeup, drivers ed, and boyfriend years. I love my friends and loved giving them cards for birthdays, holidays or any occasion. I know that I will be with them again.

I found that my greatest happiness comes from living the gospel and being with my family. I know that families are forever and can't wait for the day we can be reunited again! It will be a glorious day.

 

Lori was born April 2, 1967 in Idaho Falls, Idaho. She weighed 8lbs. 2 oz. and was 20" long.

April 16, 1978 - 11 years old
On Saturday April 15th a really special experience happened. It was raining really hard and the lightning came really close so we got ready to evacuate. Mom and Dad were gone, so it was just the kids at home. We decided that the next one that came close we would leave. We got our coats and Shalean's blanket, genealogy pictures and Shalean in a back pack. While we were waiting for the lightening we sang a song and prayed. We waited for a few minutes and started taking off our coats and putting back the genealogy and the pictures. The lightening didn't get close again. I know that our prayer was answered.

I jumped down our stairs and hit my head on the overhang above the stairs.

I cut my head and I landed on my back on the stairs. Mom thought that I had broken my back and then she noticed my head.

Mom and Dad took me to the emergency medical center and I got 8 stitches. We got them out February 19. It didn't even hurt!!!
