Once Upon A Time

There was this beautiful young girl named Heidi, who lived in Bountiful, and would be attending Wood Cross High. Registration was the end of August.

For Heidi it seemed like that summer had gone way too fast. She spent a lot of her time at the skating rink, and hanging out with her BFF Julie. At the skating rink she had met a boy(Chris) who was madly in love with her, but she only liked him as a friend.
On the day of registration,Chris showed up to her house with 2 friends. Cory and Josh. Cory had gone to school with Heidi, and also liked her,but he wasn't Heidi's type.
Josh had never met Heidi, but had heard many things about her. Chris and Cory weren't sure that they wanted the two to meet, because they knew that Heidi would fall for Josh.
Heidi was downstairs with her sister Amanda, her friend Julie and a couple of other friends Mark, Scott, and Todd. They were just hanging out watching T.V. When Chris, Cory, and Josh showed up they all headed outside to go jump on the tramp.
Heidi couldn't take her eyes off of Josh. He was so handsome and he just had this attitude that he was all that and a bag of chips. Josh and Heidi hit it off, and Heidi knew that he was going to be her husband.
On September 10,1992 Josh asked Heidi to be his girlfriend. They dated all through high school. They graduated in May of 1995 and were married on August 19, 1995.They moved into a condo in Woods Cross.
Soon there after they had a beautifu little boy Joshua Martin Redd. Heidi did everything she could to have THE NEW YEARS BABY, but Josh was born the day after on January 2 1996. After Josh was born they decided to move up to student housing so daddy Josh could go to collage. Heidi then learned that they were going to have another baby. This time the pregnancy had some problems, she had to go to the hospital twice a week for stress tests to make sure the baby was ok. Things started looking up and she only had to go once a week. Brandon Anthony Redd was born on April 5,1997 with some complication, but in the end things turned out ok. Because of the complications Heidi and Josh moved in with Heidi's family.
Heidi then started to suffer from depression things were not so good. Heidi and Josh were struggling and after 18 months of living with family they decided that they would move back up to student housing so Josh could finish school.
They loved living up to the U, They had a lot of friends and the kids loved being able to play right out side on the play ground.
Many years passed, and Heidi and Josh felt like they wanted more children. Josh was still in school up to the U, and life was going good. In November of 2000 Heidi new she was pregnant again. The whole family was excited. The boys wanted a brother, and Heidi and Josh were open. On April,5 2001(Brandon's 4th birthday) Heidi had her ultrasound, A GIRL! Josh and Brandon were ok with that. On August 28,2008 LiliAnne Marie was born. Heidi and Family were so happy.
Heidi and Josh were very happy. Things were going good for them. They loved living up at the U. Kids loved it. Everyone was happy. They boys were in school, they got to ride the bus. It seemed like time just flew by.
Heidi and Josh had been talking about having ONE more baby. 4 is a good number. So they decided what the heck. Things were going great. Life was good.
Heidi and Josh were at the family Easter egg hunt, and Heidi was talking to her grandpa, who was her best friend. She lived with her grandparents her whole life growing up. Heidi's Grandpa treated her like a daughter. Heidi and her Grandpa were talking about him going to the hospital the next day. He was going in for surgery, and he was telling her how he didn't want to go. Heidi told him that he needed to go and that things would be ok.
The next day when Josh got off work he went and picked Heidi and Lili up and they went and visited grandpa. Grandpa looked good and things went well, and he would be home in a few days. Heidi and Josh stayed a little while and talked to grandpa, but not to long because he needed to rest. So Heidi and Josh headed back home.
A day or so went by and grandpa was supposed to be coming home from the hospital, but something wasn't right. Granpa wasn't doing so good. So he was going to stay in the hospital. Heidi was told not to worry, and they would let her know how things were. A few days went by and Grandpa still wasn't doing good. They had found cancer in his body. It had spread everywhere and at the most he would have 6 months to live. Heidi was so upset. They were going to bring Grandpa home, because that is where he wanted to be.
on April 29,2003 Heidi decided to go down and see how things were, so she waited for Brandon to get out of school and then she headed down to the house. Grandpa was not doing good. It had been a few days since Heidi had seen him. Heidi's kids had been sick so she was trying to get them feeling better so they could go and see grandpa. Grandpa was in a comma,and not doing very well. Heidi spent the day down there with her Dad, Grandma, Aunt Nancy, and Brandon. Grandpa died that day.
That was a very hard day for Heidi and her family. Granpa was everyones best friend. Josh and Brandon were Grandpas world. The funeral would be May 3,2003.
Heidi had her 4th baby Mary Kathryn Redd on May 6,2003. Heidi was sad that little Mary would never meet grandpa in this life. But then was happy to think that granpa had picked Mary to send to her.
A few months later Heidi and Josh moved back in with Heidi's family. They stayed there for a few years while Josh finished collage,and then bought a home a few blocks away.
3 years later, Heidi and Josh are still living in the same house and the kids are all growing up and going to school. Life is Good.
After 16 years together, Heidi and Josh are still madly in love with each other.
THE END
