That is incredible. I totally envy that you did something that cool, and did it alone. I would love to do something like that. Its funny how at one time I would have but now I am not so daring. It's weird how children make you so aware of danger that you wouldn't have before. Anyhow, that is VERY VERY cool.

If you suddenly lost your eyesight, what would be the thing you would miss seeing the most? My children.

What was your best dream? That I had triplet girls in a few years.

If you could leave the world one piece of advice what would it be? Children grow up in the blink of an eye and there is no going back. Make the time to enjoy every second of it because before you know it they will be all grown up.

What one thing would you like your obituary to say about you and why? That I was a good mom as that is what I most aspire to be.

What day of your life would you most like to relive and why?
I would love to relive the birth of my babies and not have it be an emergency. I was given meds during the c-section that made me loopy I don't even remember my husband showing me the babies.
I was or would have been voted most like to what in high school?
I was voted biggest flirt in high school.
My number two career choice would be?
I would be a childhood nutritionist. I have seen too many obese children in my school people need help.
If you could leave the world one piece of advice what would it be?
Cherish every moment. Life moves fast and it is easy to get caught up in things. Keep in mind what is important and make time to focus on it everyday.
What is your favorite city? Why?
Las Vegas, Nevada, it's the happiest place on Earth! I love everthing about it, it's shiny and bright, fun, and there is soooo much to do. Plus it is so close to the beautiful amazing Grand Canyon. The weather doesn't hurt either.
Who was the best boss you ever had and why?
My husband. I had worked in my job for five years with three different bosses who were incredibly horrible, disorganized, and basically worthless. Finally my husband who already worked for the same company moved up the ranks and took over for my boss. Now I actually have someone I can count on working with me.

Aaaahhh, good times!! lol

I was or would have been voted most like to what in high school?

I have never quite gotten the hang of?
Crocheting. My mom tried to show me how to do the edge of a blanket while I was on bedrest in the hospital with my first DD. Eventually my SIL (who also had never crocheted) took the blanket home and finished it since I never could quite pick up on the skill.

Public speaking.

What was your first job, and what do you remember about it most?
I did some transplanting in a greenhouse that my grandpa owned when I was 14.

The faster I was the more money I’d make since we were paid by the container.

What is the worse storm or disaster you have been in? What was it like?
In 1980, I was in Washington State when Mt. St. Helens erupted. I was at my aunts house with my dad and brother... mom was at home as she was suppose to go to work. It was a Sunday, and it never did become really daylight. When it finally reached us, the ash fell from the sky like snow. It was completely silent. Not like winter, I mean... silent. We had to cover our faces to keep from breathing it in. My dad said it was extremely slippery to drive in. My mom had gone to church and went home afterward instead of work as the ash was falling already. She had to stop every few blocks to wipe off her windshield because the ash was so heavy, the wipers wouldn't clean it! It took days to clear up the roads and they eventually said it was safe to wash the ash into the soil... we had the best garden that year. EVERYTHING grew big and tasty... Amazing how God works!

My number two career choice would be?
an actess!

What does your name mean? Why were you named that?

One of my biggest pet peeves is? - People that eat too loud and with their mouth open.

What do you miss most about childhood? - How carefree it was - no responsibilities. Though I was still the type even then to always find something to worry about.

If you could go to college or go again what would you study? - Anything other than accounting. I hated my major the whole way through, but stuck with it because it was practical and so am I. I hated most jobs I've had in the field too. I sometimes think being a Pharmacist would be a cool job - interesting, good pay, could be flexible...but I'm pretty woozy when it comes to anything medical.

Describe the most boring day/event/period of time you can think of. - I worked for a temp agency one summer in college. They placed me in an office where I was the receptionist. But I hardly ever had anything to do. I finally started bringing books to read and would get so annoyed when the phone would ring and interrupt me. I got a lot of reading done that summer!

My number two career choice would be? Always loved Real Estate. I love looking at houses, and peeking in peoples windows when I'm out walking or running. I especially love looking at new model homes. I think my dream job would be one of those salespeople that helps people decide on how to design the inside of their new homes they are building. I've considered taking RE classes, but not sure how I could start something new and on my own with the babies at this time. Figured it could be a nice fit though for my love of RE and my finance background.

Next year will look better to me because? We plan to go to Hilton Head (I'm hoping). We used to go every year, it's my favorite place to go. We didn't go last year since we were in the middle of IVF or this year because the babies are too young. I'm really hoping to take the babies there next year, even though we should not be spending $ on vacations these days. I could really use one though!

I am most like my mom in that I? I look lilke her. I hear it all the time, so I'm sort of hoping my daughter will look like me. Started out that way, but now she's looking more and more like her daddy.

I am most like my dad in that I? Obsess about the little things, hard working (because we can't let the little things go), very analytical, and always having to be in control of things.

I have never quite gotten the hang of? Cooking. I don't hate it and I'm not awful at it...but meal planning/food shopping/ actually having decent dinners made during the week - doesn't happen much. I always got home from work late, so my husband - who is the better cook - usually made dinner. I'm really going to work at changing this now. It's the biggest part of being a SAHM I haven't adapted to yet.

What are a couple of things you remember about your grandparents? They were the cutest couple ever, born a week apart from each other and married for 57 years until my grandpa died 2 years ago. Individually they were the cutest too - my grandpa was great with kids and played with us all the time. I remember we always went to breakfast with them when we were younger and he'd draw funny faces on the placemats with crayon and say they were "mommy" or give them funny names. When I got older and started driving, he'd always sneak some cash under the sunvisor and he'd send funny cards with cute messages in them.

If you could raise one person from the dead who would you raise and why? clearly, my Grandpa. I think he's a big part of why I have my babies now. He died of lung cancer, it was the worst thing I ever saw. He could barely see or talk, but would still ask how the baby situation was going. I would say, not yet. And he would say, it will happen...it will happen...I would love for him to get to see them and hold them now.

Where do you go or what do you do when life gets to heavy for you? running

What was your first job, and what do you remember about it most? I worked at Kmart. Sometimes I had to announce the blue light specials and at first I was so embarrassed. After I'd been there awhile and was older (worked there through part of college too), I just found it funny.

I suspect that behind my back people say (blank) because? I obsess too much over keeping my twins on a schedule...but this is coming from people who've only had one baby at a time. Like I always say, unless you have twins yourself, you will never understand.
