1. What is your favorite childhood memory of your dad?
My favorite memory of my dad is in Middle School when he
helped coach my basketball team we'd have to leave church early on
Sundays to make it to practice. The best part was we'd usually stop
somewhere on the way to practice and eat lunch together just the two of
us. My dad worked a lot growing up and I didn't see him much so to have
some one on one time over a cheeseburger and fries on Sundays before
practice was such a
treat for me.
2. What are some of your goals for the next five years?
That's
a question I haven't been asked since I worked outside of the home. I
think to just be the best wife, mom and friend I can be. To listen to
Gods call on my life and be willing to obey when he asks something of
me. I hope growing our family is a part of the next 5 year plan as
well.
3. What is your favorite item of clothing?
Right
now my maternity jeans. I have three of the same pairs that I rotate. I
live in them and I secretly wish I could always wear them pregnant or
not. They are so dang comfortable!
4. If you could stop only one injustice what would it be?
Hunger
5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
So
if were talking in a perfect world scenario I'd rather get a vacation
house somewhere sunny (like Arizona or Hawaii) to escape the rainy
seasons instead of moving permanently and take family and friends with
me.
6. What is your favorite thing to chew?
I'd
say right now during pregnancy its olives. I crave that salty, briny
flavor. I can knock down an entire can of them while making dinner if
I'm not careful. But normally non pregnancy its anything chocolate.
7. If you could only do one thing every day for the rest of your life what would it be?
Kiss and snuggle both Jason and Drew and soon to be baby boy Doneth every day!
8. When you think of adventure what comes to mind?
Traveling to new places with Jason, but specifically our trip to New Zealand.
9. What is the most listened-to song on your iPod (or other music listening device)?
Well...I
have a worship playlist that I listen to on shuffle especially during
nap time that I love that I could choose any of those songs as a
favorite. I just checked my music app and it says How he loves by David Crowder Band.
10. What do you wish you were better at?
I
wish I liked to cook and was better at it (I'm sure my husband Jason
would agree). Even with the help of Pinterest I'm still not very good.
I should have a board of failed recipes that I've made my family try.
Haha
11. How has God blessed you this week?
I'd say hearing the heartbeat of our healthy baby boy #2 on Wednesday with my son Drew. Two beautiful miracles that we've prayed for over 8 years!
12. What event changed your life?
I'd
say our 8 year long continued fertility journey has rocked and changed
me to the core. I've been able to experience every emotion good, hard,
beautiful and thankfully miraculous along this journey. I can say
that I've sensed His peace and comfort and even joy in times of total
uncertainty, loss and grief. He's meets me regularly along this
journey in lots of different ways through His word, quiet, my family and
friends, music, sermons, encouraging texts and cards, etc. I am a much
different person today and love and experience things in much richer
and deeper ways then before because of walking this road of
infertility. I wouldn't want to have to do it over but I
wouldn't change what I've gained through it either.
