Family and friends thoughts on the Evans
Leslie Neeley~ Chelsey's Mom
What a gift from Heaven! Boy did I hit the jackpot when my beautiful second daughter, Chelsey, was born! Three more siblings would follow. When I would have Chelsey babysit for me, the 2 youngest girls would get so excited because they knew that fun and creative times were ahead; like a puppet show, a photo shoot, or maybe a picnic in the park! Chelsey has always been a peacemaker in our family; one of my oft quoted phrases was, "I could have had 20 of her!" You can only imagine my excitement when I found out that Christian's mom would say the same thing about him! At any family gathering you don't have to wonder where Christian is, just look for the swarm of kids laughing and playing and you'll find Christian in the middle! One of the things that endeared Christian to me was knowing that hand in hand with Chelsey they would make wonderful, loving parents to some very lucky children!

Heather & Nick Moody~ Family Chelsey nannied for
Christian and Chelsey are a match made in heaven! They are the perfect combination of a fun-loving, happy, and committed couple. Their love for each other is clearly evident by the glow in their eyes. They both come from close families who have a lot of love for one another. Chelsey was our nanny for our four children. She loved each child so much, and they loved her! She was patient and loving as she cared for the children. She was completely capable of stepping in and helping to make our household run smoothly. Chelsey has an easy-going personality, but she can accomplish anything she sets her mind to. She will make an amazing mother. Christian and Chelsey have all the qualities needed to become ideal parents. They are so full of love and are eager to share their love with others.
Love, Nick and Heather

Christina Pendleton~ Chelsey's best friend
Chelsey and I have been best friends since we were little girls. Even from a young age, she had a natural nurturing ability that I did not have. I remember her saying on multiple occasions that she wanted to be a Mom when she grew up. She was one of the most popular babysitters on the block and was the most fun, too! As we have grown up, gotten married and have begun to create our homes and families, I realize more and more what a qualified, natural mother she already is. I am constantly asking her for advice about my son's health and nutrition and she always seems to have an answer for me. She has created a happy, warm, comfortable environment in their home and I love spending time there.
Chelsey and Christian are some of the most hard-working, determined people I know. When they set a goal, they will work their hardest to reach it. I see them serving and helping others, including my family, all the time. They are both level-headed and patient but still love to play and have fun. I know firsthand that they come from wonderful families with strong values and beliefs that provide an amazing support system for them. I know that family is extremely important to them and they value healthy relationships with those close to them. I admire them so much for their perseverance and positive attitudes through this journey to start their family. They continue to move forward with faith, being hopeful and prayerful. Any child would be extremely blessed to have Christian and Chelsey as their parents.

Jen White~ Chelsey's Aunt
It's an honor for me to be able to write a message on Chelsey and Christian's blog. When I first heard that they were starting the adoption process my first thought was, "I would want my own children to have them for parents". Having been on the birth mother side of the adoption process twenty-five years ago, I feel strongly about choosing the right parents for a child. I am Chelsey's aunt and I have been involved in her life since she was a baby. I have seen her develop into a most beautiful woman. I love to spend any minute I can with her because she makes me feel good! She is funny, creative, loving, and has a keen sense of right and wrong. When Chelsey first introduced me to Christian I loved him right away, and always hoped that they would end up married. My four children adore Chelsey and Christian. We choose to stay with them when we visit Utah, it is the most comfortable environment! I know that Chelsey and Christian love each other, they love their respective families, and they love the Savior.
