Reagan

The marriage of Reagan and Sam was an impossible dream come true. Reagan’s parents, Mike and Leslie, are among our oldest and dearest friends. We had often spoken of having our children marry each other–we had some match ups that could happen. But of course, those things never happen. Sam and Reagan and Fred and Bryan were great friends ever since we moved to Utah but never was there any thought of romance (I think). But when Sam got off his mission, they continued their habit of hanging out. And gradually it became obvious to them that they really liked being together. There was a point at which they stopped dating and of course it made them both sad. But Sam found that all he wanted to do was be with Reagan. So it wasn’t long before they were back together and in the fast lane to being married.

Reagan is fun, devoted, and could not be more of a sister to our 5 girls. She is a lefty and played varsity basketball–plus she is as tall as Sam and probably as athletic. So I am hoping to get some super athletes out of the deal–with a download of Mike and Leslie Brown genes. Brilliant, beautiful, and serious about the Gospel, she is an ideal dream companion to our son.

The greatest compliment that could possibly be given to Reagan is that all of Sam’s fiercely protective sisters screamed with joy for 10 minutes after they made the announcement of their engagement. I hope our other boys do as well.
