Lunch
The worst meal of the day, I say. Breakfast is always easy. Easy to make, quick to eat, etc. Dinner is always yummy. You have do many choices, eat in, eat out. And then there is lunch. The one in the middle. Can't eat it too early or you end up skipping breakfast. Can't eat it too late or you aren't hungry for dinner. You don't want to spend a lot of time preparing it or you waste the afternoon away. You have to stop what you're doing to eat, just interrupts your day. And if you're home alone going out to lunch isn't really an option. Who wants to go out to lunch alone? Not me. So you stay home and you have like 5 choices of not-so-great, easy-to-make foods. Pb & j, Mac and cheese, spaghetti-os, grilled cheese, or ramen noodles. Blah, blah,blah. Lunch sucks. I wish I could skip it without feeling hungry and ornery. And it doesn't help that even if I do want to skip it I have to make lunch for the kid. Worst meal ever. Psh, lunch needs a change.

I am Mormon
Have you ever read The Book of Mormon? Have you prayed about it, asking for yourself if it is true? If your answer is yes then you either consider yourself Mormon or you've forgotten what that felt like. If you've forgotten, I dare you to try it again. If you won't, I want a good reason. If your answer to the first two questions is no, I dare you to try. If you do you will really see and feel why our religion believes what we do. And if you won't then I say get your facts straight. Don't tell me how bad ice cream tastes until you taste it. Don't tell me what's wrong with chocolate covered bacon until you try it. Don't judge me before you get to know me. With all the "Mormon" things in the media I am just going crazy. Not because they are saying bad things but because they are so niave about it. I constantly find myself saying, "duh" and "really?" Because it really blows my mind what people can come up with. We Mormons, as a people, aren't perfect. No one, no matter the religion is. But I believe The Book of Mormon is the truest book I have ever read. I believe Joseph Smith was a true prophet. And by reading The Book of Mormon you will be testified of that. I believe in latter-day prophets and revelation. Why wouldn't God be helping us in present times? The Bible happened a long time ago. Things have changed quite a bit since then. We drive cars and have computers and about aillion other things are different from those times. However, our religion is still closest to how religion was practiced then. Prophets, apostles, baptism, temple work, and so much more. Not only does all the negativity drive me crazy but it also strengthens my testimony. Why would Satan/evil be trying so hard to anger people about religion if it weren't true? What would he care? Why would people be so worried about it? And yet, after all this effort to destruct our religion, look at how many new members we have each year. And look how happy we still are. Look how kind we still are. How is any of that evil? So, please, all I ask is that until you have the facts and try it for yourself, be careful what you say. Otherwise, you'll end up looking pretty silly. I have never (that I can honestly recall) said something mean about another religion. What is there to say about it? If that is what they truly believe who am I to say they are wrong? And until I try it for myself who am I to say it is right or wrong? Shouldn't that be considered in every religion? And in every person?

Under the Influence
List 10 people who have influenced you and describe how.
Ten is a lot. I'm having a hard time thinking of one. So I guess we will see how many I can cone up with.
1. Jennifer, my best friend. Friends can always influence you, for good or bad. Lucky for me she is the good kind of influence.
2. Kay, used to be my boss. She was also considered my "other mother". She taught me a lot and was a perfect example that you can handle anything.
3. Mrs. Bakke, my first grade teacher. She made me want to be a teacher and taught me to love learning.
4. Mrs. Whithy, my sixth grade teacher. Helped me see the best in myself and made me want to teach even more.
5. TV moms. No one in specific but I admire the moms with 5 or more kids who have happy lives and happy kids.
6. My mom. She has inspired just about everything in my life. From how I want to be a mom to doing wedding flowers. My mom is always there for me.
7. My mother-in-law. Working with her I have learned a lot about my husbands family and the trials she has over come along with all of her accomplishments. She is a wonderful woman and I'm lucky to have her as a mother-in-law.
8. Kyler. He inspires me to be a better mom everyday.
9. And now I realize somehow I changed to the word inspires half way through. Oh, well, they are almost the same. However, that is all I can think of so there we go, haha.

Passion
What are 5 passions you have?
1. Weddings. I want to be a wedding planner so naturally I'm passionate about it. I'm always looking for ideas and taking notes so I can hopefully help people have their dream wedding without going broke or getting super stressed out.
2. Children. Not only raising mine but hoping every child can be happy and safe. I love kids and can't stand parents who abuse or disrespect their children. I want to be the best parent I know how, not perfect, because no parent is perfect but I will try my very hardest. I want my children to know they are loved and respected and that I will keep them safe and comfortable. That I can be trusted and won't hurt their feelings and that they matter. They are important.
3. On that note, Russian orphans. To anyone who doesn't know me well this may seem really weird. Why Russia? I get asked that a lot. And my answer is I don't really know. I know the idea came from a tv documentary I watched when I was probably 12. I know that it is something I had to see. Somehow I just know that my life and a Russian orphans life are connected. I plan to adopt from Russia. I don't know when and I don't know how. Adopting is expensive, in general, adopting from another country is Super expensive. Adopting from another country is a long difficult process, adopting from Russia is a long, difficult, frustrating process. But I have faith. I know its something I have to, need to, and will do...eventually. I cannot save every orphan child, but I know I can at least help one have a better life. Considering this is such a strong passion of mine I'm sure you'll here more on this later. So that's all I'll say for now.
4. Purple. I love the color purple. If I could, I would have a purple house with silver and black accents. I would have purple hair and wear something purple everyday. I don't know what it is but I have always loved purple. Purple only has 1 flaw. Grape. Grape flavor is purple. Yucky. I do not like anything grape flavored. It all tastes like medicine to me. Other than that, color me purple!
5. Art. I will always be an artist at heart. I'm too much like my mom I guess. I love jist about anything art related. I like to paint, in all mediums, draw, color, build, scrapbook, sculpt, everything. I wish I had more time, energy, and space for art. It's hard with a kid, and a life. I may not be great at what I do but it will always be a passion of mine.

Dream, dream, dream..****
What is your dream job, and why?
My dream job is to be a wedding planner. Why? Because I love weddings and everything that goes into them. I love planning and setting up and making things and doing flowers. I love how versatile they are and how there are so many ideas that can go into a wedding. My dream is to have my own business. My own office space with a waiting room in the front, pictures and books with lots of ideas. My office in the back with a big, beautiful desk. The very back would be split in half. Half would be storage for all my decor, and I'm sure there would be a storage shed out back packed full as well. The other half would be a flower cooler and a table for my mom to do flowers. That is my dream. And maybe, if I work hard enough and push myself enough I will actually get there. Maybe. Someday.
Other dream jobs I would like would be teaching, although lately I think not so much. And something to do with psychology. I wanted to be a child psychologist in high school but the doctorate degree scared me off. I just love psychology.

...***....Life....***...
What's the hardest thing you have ever experienced?
Ugh. I'm really not sure. Sure, there are lots of hard things everyone has to experience but its hard to see it in your own life because its just life for you.
Some things that come to mind:
Talking to people. I hate confrontation so sometimes taking to people is really hard for me. I also tend to be shy so I get anxiety talking to some people.
Disappointing people. That goes with the one above, sometimes I just have to accept that I am important too.
Choosing between my parents. I know they try really hard to not make me do that but sometimes it just happens. And it is hard and I don't like it.
Making decisions in general. Really hard for me to do because I worry about consequences.
Sadly, the only real life experience that comes to mind is a previous relationship. Putting someone through Marine boot camp is not a fun experience. Long distance relationships are hard enough but then you have all the baggage with marine life and all the emotions that follow. And for that reason Jake is forbidden to join any military, ever. I refuse to do that again.
