My Parents: Nina Cherie and William (Bill) Elliott.



My parents were both raised in California, near San Francisco and San Jose. They lived their until 1991 when they moved our family up here to Oregon. They have owned an auto repair shop in Sandy, Oregon together since 1992.

My mom, Nina, is the rock of our family. She was always there when we got home from school. She made dinner every night, and she was always there for us when we needed something. He whole purpose in life is to serve her family. She is the perfect example of what a Mother and Wife should be, and I have tried to emulate that in my own life. She is also crafty. She sews and crochets. She made our swimsuits, our formal dresses for high school dances, Halloween costumes, pajama pants, you name it. She crochets blankets ALL the time. She is always working on someones baby blanket. If you have a baby in her ward at church, you can almost guarantee you will be getting a blanket from her.

My dad, Bill, is the patriarch of our household. He has always provided for us, and he was always there to make you feel safe. He can seem pretty intimidating at first, especially to my boyfriends in high school (haha) but he is really just a big softy at heart =] I have always been a Daddy's Girl. Dad was always in the garage working on something. A car, a motorcycle, models, guns, RC cars.. you name it. I was always there watching him and asking questions. We went hunting together, went to car shows together, and now we work together at the auto shop. He is very patriotic, very opinionated, and he has a very strong sense of right and wrong. He has always strived to be an honest man, and I have always respected that. I get my fighting side from him, my stubborn side, and my sentimental side.
