Happy Birthday Elder Finley!


Elder Finley is on the far left in the orange tie. He's about to baptize!
PS That's the tie I sent him for Christmas! I'm so glad he's wearing it!


This is an ode to Joey, Joe, Jeff, Jeffrey, Jeffrey Joseph, favorite child, Elder Finley, whatever it is that you call him...

March 22, 1988 Joey arived and life just hasn't been the same since! Joey is one incredible brother! What I love about this boy...he's the kind of brother who tells you he loves you, he's the kind of son who always wants to to do his best, he's the kind of friend that you can trust, he's the kind of person that makes you laugh, he's the kind of missionary that listens to the spirit and presses forward! Joey is one heck of a guy! I am so proud of him and his dedication and determination to do the what he knows is right. I love you brother!

Some of my favorite memories of Joey...
  • Dressing him up as a girl! We loved his curly red hair! Leslee and I even painted his toes! My dad hated it, I mean really, really hated it when we did this!
  • When he learned to ride his bike. I was determined to teach him how to ride a two wheeler! He kept falling, but I would hold on to the seat and stay holding it, running along the side, until I thought he had it. It was so funny!
  • My mom was telling me today that one Easter when we were all little, we had one of those traditional Easter Egg hunts. Leslee and I were finding all the eggs. Then Joey got really upset and starting walking around moping..we still call him a moper. He has the cutest bottom lip!

About Me

Life as it for Tiffany Finley is quite the revolving door, one activity ends and I’m back on the rebound, looking for something to spice it up! Live it up, I tell you! Although, those who know me well, know my limits of “living it up!” A whirlwind of terrible singing, dancing, playful banter, blunt responses, sweet and endearing but firm and serious remarks to children, speaking/slaughtering accents that I’ve spun from memory, are a just a few of my favorite things….I delight in waking to the sunrise, driving to an incredible place of work, where I am able to express my true self regularly! My students call me "Crazy. ” This is where the song and dance comes into play, whether we are learning about adjectives or writing our names on our papers, I’ve got a song and cheer for it all! I’m passionate about traveling and walking down narrow pathways. In my spare time, I enjoy taking walks in the park…I’ve been known to disappear in the dark of the night, only to be found on the swings. I also love to organize and re-organize, I can never quite get things right. I thoroughly enjoy people watching.
