Prologue

Our dad seems to accomplish everything he sets his mind to. However, there is one thing we have heard him talk about over the years that he has never begun: The Rose Family Record. There is a decent chance the record exists somewhere and nobody has seen it, but we will get the ball rolling on the off chance it doesn't. Periodically when something funny happens or when some blessing comes to the family dad would say something to the effect of, "we should really write this stuff down so we don't forget all of these things." Our memory isn't as good as our lives have been, but hopefully this will help.

The reality is that we have all been blessed far beyond our understanding. Near the top on our list of blessings is being born to you, mom and dad. We have been blessed with every opportunity, we have been blessed with an incredible family culture, and we have been loved and taught to love by the best.

We look forward to helping you collect stories from the past as well as add them as life happens.
