If I threw my wife under the bus like this, she would *literally* throw me under a bus. In fact, she would probably rent a bus and run me over multiple times.
As long-suffering Jazz fans forgive us if we don’t know how to react to going 3 for 3 and building the perfect team for Quin to drive. We’re used to leftovers. Jazz have worked so hard to have the best front office in the league & they just nailed it. I’m giddy.
#TeamIsEverything
Who else spends all week with the legislature and late nights crisscrossing the state (including a terrible snowstorm through 3 canyons to visit the Rich County Cattleman’s meeting in Randolph)—and still has time on Sunday morning for our littles? This guy❤️😊
I never thought this day would come. Just over a year ago when Spencer and I and our family (after prayerful consideration) decided to run for Governor, we knew it would be tough. We just didn’t plan on global pandemic/earthquake/civil unrest tough.
My daughter has a friend who has somehow never watched a Jazz game.(!) So tonight she invited her over for the game. Listening to her explain and describe every Jazz player was a top 10 dad moment.😊

this week. Completely overwhelmed with gratitude for everyone who has worked their guts out to keep us safe.❤️
Guys I hate to brag but just had my greatest accomplishment. Notorious for pushing the boundaries of my gas tank I knew I needed gas leaving SG but thought I could make Beaver. Ran out 1/4 mile from the exit, coasted up the ramp & rolled to a stop directly in front of the pump.🎯
I have never run for political office but somehow this news makes ME feel like I've won a primary election. Congrats

The man who married us 23 yrs ago this morning blessed us to have just enough clouds in our marriage to make a beautiful sunset. Today it was the sunrise. Happy Anniversary my love! Let’s make this the best one yet. ❤️❤️

I am truly grateful for the peace I find through the gospel of Jesus Christ, for knowledge of His plan, and for the simplicity on the other side of complexity.

I cried when I walked in and saw this painting today. Too many hours to count in my childhood were spent on a tractor just like that and with folks just like them. ❤️
25 years‼️Just two kids that fell in love and keep falling in love again and again. Thanks for the amazing ride, Love. Let’s see what the next 25 bring.
Missing my favorite Marine on this Veterans Day. My grandpa-Sgt Duffy Palmer shot while performing a daring mission on Iwo Jima. Equally heroic, grandma Jocie giving birth to her second child not knowing if he was alive or dead. ❤️🇺🇸🙏

This teacher has been teaching at the same school for fifty years.
On her last day, this is how the entire school surprised her — to say thank you.
Get out the tissues...
Ms Pamela Atkinson
@PJcockney
has taught me about being Christlike every day since I met her 7 years ago. She genuinely cares, lifts, serves, and loves the most vulnerable among us. I want to be more like her.
There are very few places I feel more at peace than on a horse. I

Hey, kids. Swearing isn't a bug. It's a feature!
Research has linked swearing to:
- honesty,
- better vocabularies,
- better credibility,
- improved camaraderie with our peers, and
- helping us process and handle anger.
Somehow I just discovered
@CrumblCookies

❤️Your Team
We have met you where you are—in each and every town and city in the state. As Governor and First Lady, we will work and serve with every bit as much compassion and energy as we campaigned with.
Totally surprised when I found out that after 3 boys I was getting a baby girl. She is equal parts sass and sweetness. She is my friend and a friend to all. Grateful that God knew more than I did how much I needed her. Happy Birthday Miss Kate!
#givethanks
We promised at the beginning of this campaign that nobody would out-work us. We have given our all to make this campaign about serving the people of Utah.
That being said, I have known this man for 25 years. I know him better than anyone on the planet. He cares deeply. He loves wholeheartedly. He is truly empathetic. He has put his own health, sanity, and emotional well-being aside for the past 3 months.
There are those who disagree with him on certain issues, and that’s ok. There are those who will try to tell you untruths about him. I am here to tell you that Spencer J. Cox loves Utah. He cares for ALL Utahns.
To my own father who is my hero and has endured more physical pain than anyone I know and still kept his faith, optimism, and gratitude. And to my FIL who has shown what unconditional love is. And to
@SpencerJCox
who is a perfect example of compassion and commitment to family❤️
Saw this note on the table and was reminded that the connection between teachers and students is a tremendously powerful force for good. For a young girl that is terrified to move to the big city, this small gesture is more important than anything she learned in the classroom.❤️

More than anything he loves his family, his God, and his beloved Fairview. He would do anything to heal the pain so many are experiencing. He has, and will continue to lead in a way that is true to his own heart.
Joe's a nice guy. At least my wife must think so. She had a dream she was stuck somewhere and who came to save her?
Joe Ingles
Despite that, I'd politely ask for a selfie if I ever had the chance. I'd love to send it to her so I could finally be in the wallpaper on her phone.
Yesterday we reached a new high with more than 18k shots given in a single day. So much good is happening despite many difficulties. This picture, taken in UT Co yesterday, sums up the effort so well. Thanks to all who are making a difference, giving hope, and saving lives

After unimaginably stressful days I watched him lay awake, during the precious few hours he had to rest, thinking about people who were struggling financially and people who were losing their jobs and lives to this horrible disease, trying desperately to find ways to help them.
I want to thank my dear friends and legislative spouses 1) for their invaluable sacrifices during the session and always and 2) for joining

How does

have time for a podcast? He's got 3 hours of commute a day, whatever it is a Lt Gov does, all the evening speaking requirements, a Jazz obsession, a farm & likely some church assignment. When does he see his wife?
I got to share the stage today with

The miracle of modern tech. Driving home from St. George when we got an email that our son and his companion (our adopted mission son) in Mozambique had permission to do a quick Skype. From Africa to the side of the freeway in Utah. Love these boys. ❤️👊🏼
While this was an experience that changed me personally and the way I think about human life profoundly,

’s heroic fight for her son’s life and continuous battle to keep herself healthy is incomprehensible. She is MY hero.
