Hi Everyone! We are the Talbots. Dan, Shelley, Cohen, & Beckett and Marty the doggo. We have lived in the neighborhood for 18 yrs. Dan and Shelley met on a blind date and after Shelley saying she would never marry someone she met that way here we are 22 yrs later. Never say never folks. Cohen is a junior at Layton High. He’s been in the aviation program at the Catalyst center and just passed his ground flight test. Onto the skies he will be shortly. He does hurdles for track and is looking forward to it starting again. This summer he will go to Malaysia for HXP. Beckett is in 7th grade at Legacy Jr High. He swims on the Layton City Rec Swim team and loves all things video games and sports! He know so much about them. He hopes his parents will take him somewhere fun this summer while Co is gone. Shelley loves to bake and cook in her spare time. Which hasn’t been much lately with her working part(sometimes full)time with Dan. She finds so much joy serving in the temple once a week.  She also wants to be friends with all the dogs! Dan runs his own business as a General Contractor with a specialty in Finish Carpentry full time and installs art and mirror packages in temples part time(sometimes full) with Shelley. Dan loves being with the youth! Probably because he is a kid at heart. He’s also happiest when he is serving others. Dan and our boys absolutely LOVE skiing! During the winter you will find them at Snow Basin or Sun Valley in their free time. Shelley would rather die than do most anything involving winter.  Our family enjoys hiking in the summer, swimming, spending time with our family, going on trips together, and of course Utah Utes football! A highlight was backpacking Havasupai last summer. It’s difficult for me to talk about one specific miracle we have seen in our lives. Let me just say that we have seen many miracles over the years that serve as a reminder to us that God is in the details of our lives and he is so aware of each of us. Attending the temple has been such a wonderful experience for our family. Especially now that we can do baptisms together! Recently I saw something that said “Attending the temple changes you.” And we believe that whole heartedly. The storms of life hit hard and can be so crazy at times. But the peace we feel when we go to the temple stays with us and gives us the strength to face whatever comes. We love living in the neighborhood and love our ward family!
