Introduction I am a mom of three beautiful children, married to my high school sweetheart for 17 years and counting... I have an overwhelming desire for life. I love so many things that I can't fit them all into my schedule! I love to scrapbook; I love sports - the ones my kids play and the ones my husband coaches; I love to run - if I could just make more time for it; I love to take photos - more to scrapbook! I love to write and love to read... I love used bookstores! I want to make sure my children find inspiration in the world around them; just as I want to find it for myself. I want to see their Faith in God and Love for Life grow each day, and I want to look back in 20, 30 and 40 years and say that, not only was life good to me, but that I was good to the life that I had... "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do." ~ Mark Twain

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?

Probably out of dirty laundry and dishes, with a few cobwebs holding it all together, because I'm going to enjoy and spend every other good portion of my life living and not worrying about those dirty dishes and laundry and a few cobwebs. And when I'm gone, They will be celebrating all of the million happy memories that I left and filled with love, along with the dirty dishes and laundry!
