AZ born and raised

There aren't too many who can claim native Arizonian status. A person who is born in Arizona and has live here all their life. With Arizona being a melting pot (in more way than one with our summer heat) and more and more people coming here to enjoy the painted desert, you really don't find to many natives. Well, folks, we've got some in our very midst. Amy Reed was born in Phoenix, AZ. She has been in AZ her entire life. She met her husband Sam in Thatcher, AZ. They married 13 years ago.
Amy's 3 children also claim AZ native status. Billy is 9, Samantha is 7 and Porter is 4. Amy loves to watch Sun's games with her basketball fan, Billy. One of their favorite family activities is going to the drive in movies. They get their snacks all prepared and hop in the car and drive up. "And you get to see 2 movies, too!" Billy advised me.

Amy works at Arizona's native grocery store Basha's 2 days a week. She is the second councilor in the Primary and she loves it.

Not too long ago there was a ward conference and members of our stake were visiting our ward. During primary sharing tine the stake presidency was sitting in the back observing. The sharing time leader held up a picture of Adam and Eve. Right away, upon seeing the picture Porter yells "I don't like them!" Amy still recalls her embarrassment. But she tells this story with a laugh and a twinkle in her eye. You can tell she loves her lil' man.
