Birthday: March 5

I call Phil the answer to a prayer. We met through his brothers, but my first true memory of him was after a Ward Prayer I was sitting on the back stairs of the institute pondering and praying when he appeared. We started talking and I guess you could say the rest is history.

Phil is an extremely considerate individual with one of the largest hearts. When I am with him I always feel safe. I feel like I can totally be myself and that he appreciates that person without judgement. We have spent many hours talking about everything and sharing our views. He loves and respects the women in his life and treats them like queens.

I have lovingly dubbed Phil, Spud Butt. You may wonder where this crazy nickname came from. One night I had dinner at his family's home. We had a potato bar and his little sister had left her potato skins on the counter still full of potatoes. Phil came into the kitchen and sat on the counter not realizing that there was still potatoes on the counter top. After sitting there for about 10 minutes, he got this look on his face and stood up. He asked what was on his back side. His butt was covered with potatoes. And now he shall always be Spud Butt to me!
