Hi, I'm Landon! I am a happy person. I love to laugh and have fun. I love to make other people happy and do what I can to bring smiles to others. I enjoy having things to do, but I hate having my calendar too packed because it distracts me from what's important, namely my family. I really like "crafting" and it makes me happy to see things I have made in our home. I am definitely an extrovert, but every once in a while I need some alone time to regroup and refocus myself (usually that means a trip to Target or a long, hot bath).
I love music - I've been playing piano since I was 5 and singing since I could speak. When I was in 5th grade, I started playing the oboe. My freshman year of high school, I switched instruments and started playing percussion in the high school band. I sang in choir in high school and college. I've also performed in a number of musicals and plays. Now, I teach piano and voice lessons four days a week from our home. I have 25+ students and I love it! Jackson and I also spend a lot of time singing together during the day. I frequently make up silly songs to make him smile and he giggles and sings right along with me.
I graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelors of Arts in
Theater Arts Studies. I focused my studies on directing and
teaching. I try to go to shows as often as I can. While I am not currently directing anything, I have been able to apply the principles I learned at BYU in many aspects of my life, especially in managing and "directing" our home. I look forward to the day when I can go back to school and get my Masters of Fine Arts in Directing.
Marrying Dustin is one of the greatest decisions I've ever made and I would do it again in a heartbeat. He helps me to be my very best self. He has been my rock during every struggle and challenge that I've faced. He makes me laugh on a daily basis and brings such happiness to our home. I love that he is such a hard worker and is so dedicated to providing for and taking care of our family. He is an exceptional father and definitely the kind of man I want my son to be like. Watching him with Jackson makes my heart overflow with happiness. Dustin will do anything for Jack, whether it's singing and rocking him to sleep, or playing down on the floor. I fall more and more in love with Dustin every day and am so excited to be his wife and partner in all life's adventures.
I love being a mom - it is easily the best "job" I've ever had! I might not have ever been meant to be pregnant, but I was meant to be a mother. I have never experienced as much joy in my life as I have since being a mom and I wouldn't trade if for anything. Life is just more fun with Jack! The simplest things hold so much wonder for Jackson and I love watching him discover the world around him. I never realized, for example, just how great hands are until I watched my son discover his own hands and then other people's hands as well. I have grown and become a better person because of Jackson. I adore him! I look forward to adding more children, and more joy, to our family!
