1. What is your favorite childhood memory of your dad?

I don't really have any big ones. I guess I just remember how patient and flexible he was with me. Like when he would take me to five places to look for new shoes cause I wasn't quite sold on any of them, just to end up back at the first place. or when I was soooo scared to ride in the car with the big extension ladder on the top, so he and I walked home and carried the ladder. or when he would stay up late to help me finish my homework when I just couldn't get it.


2. What are some of your goals for the next five years?
Become proficient in Sign Language, Be Debt Free, Become  a Licensed Labor Doula,  Not let the stress of life take the fun out of being a mom.  Spend more time in the country.

3. What is your favorite item of clothing?

My Jeans. Wish I had more of them. But I live in my jeans. They are comfy, and when I get kid stuff on them it doesn't show as much.

4. If you could stop only one injustice what would it be?

Child abuse.

5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

I Don't know about location, but where ever it was, there would be 10 acres, a nice country house with a wood burning fireplace right in the middle, it would be near some mountain range,
with blue skies, and lots of things to do outside with the kids.

6. What is your favorite thing to chew?

It would be a tie between those chewy gobstopers, and a really good tiramisu cake. the gobstopers are addictive and I have trouble not finishing a whole thing of them. But Tiramisu is like chocolate coffee heaven.

7. If you could only do one thing every day for the rest of your life what would it be?

I think I would Pick cuddling with my family. kids, hubby, both are good. That or drinking Coffee and eating chocolate ;)

8. When you think of adventure what comes to mind?

motherhood ;) also doing just about anything new and fun or exciting. I like to take road trips, go new places, meet people,

eat at new places. do new activities. I think its kinda unpredictable too.

9. What is the most listened-to song on your iPod (or other music listening device)?

Good Morning, by Mandisa. I like just about anything by her really. and Ive been listening to a lot of worship music.

10. What do you wish you were better at?

 uh what don't I wish I were better at :) Being patient with my kids. Being more organized and less forgetful, Making Friends, ASL, Playing Piano, teaching my kids,  being more decisive.


11. How has God blessed you this week?
Its been the little things really. like weather that we can go play in, good behavior from my kids during my first solo trip with all four of them, "the joy of the lord is my strength" popping into my head in the middle of "one of THOSE days", and sweet moments with my little monkeys.

12. What event changed your life?

I think it was finding out I was pregnant with my third little one 3 months after I had my second baby. My Mom was having life and death health issues, my aunt died, we had moved to a place where we knew barely anyone, and we just found out our baby had a hearing loss, but I think I was handling it ok ya know. God really shook my world and has used it to bring me where he wanted my by giving me my third baby so soon. I realized I couldn't do it alone, moved back to Oregon, had my son in the place that inspired me to want to help other mamas in labor, and want to have a fourth baby, and lots of other stuff. I went from tryingto be super mom, and do it myself to really wanting to love God more and be where he wants me to be.
