I got an email a couple of weeks ago and was asked some questions. Thought I'd post them on my blog since I've been slacking. This is my 300 post BTW.
What is the best thing about your childhood?
Being mothered by a woman that was charitable. I knew that she loved the gospel because she lived it every day. I don't remember ever questioning her love nor did I ever feel that she wavered in her faith when times were difficult. She is gone now, but her life lives in my heart.
Tell us a little bit about your husband and children.
Just a little bit? There's so much I could say!! They're the reason I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow! I have one- loving, honest, loyal, hard-working husband who still loves me after 10 years of marriage. He's the smartest, cutest guy I know. We have four children- 2 boys 2 girls. They love to play monster mom, laugh on play on the floor, play board games, anything that involves time with mom (something I'm working on). They have the choice experience of watching me try to balance a gazillion things all while "smiling and speaking softly."
