ABCs of Me

Sometimes I like these kinds of things but I like to change a few things


A - Attached or Single: Attached for 42 years and still loving it, it is the best thing that I ever did. I have been attached since I was 18 and have never regretted it.
B - Best Friend: my husband, because he loves me enough to tell me even the things I don't want to (but need to) hear and next is my sister and my grown children, they are such good people.
C - Cake or Pie: Cake with tons of icing, especially chocolate but I wouldn't turn down apple pie either.
D - Day of Choice: Wednesday, it is the day that my husband and I serve in the Holy Temple and be an instrument to bring eternal joy to others both living and those who have passed on. Next would be Sunday when I can go to church and feel the spirit and learn things I need to change in my life to be more like my Savior becasue that is when I feel the best about myself.
E - Essential Item: the scriptures, a day isn't complete without time spent there
F - Favorite Color: definitely red, I love it
G - Gummy Bears or Gummy Worms: bears
H - Hometown: Waco, Texas but haven't lived there since I married. Huntsville and Meridianville Al. since we have lived there the longest
I - Indulgence(s): I have to have a Butterfinger Blizzard once in while and a Snowball (a small chocolate cake, with filling in the center,covered in icing and coconut)that is pure sugar
J - January or July: January, it gives me the opportunity to start a new year fresh and move forward and not look back at past mistakes
K - Kids: Ah, where to start, Barry my first born and an example of strength at an early age; Dawn the first daughter and ray of sunshine when things were tough; Misty the miracle baby (my firstborn after joining the church and having had a tubaligation reversed) ; Nathan (name means gift of God) the hardest to raise but the strongest in disposition ; Cari, the most beautiful baby and my reward for not killing Nathan; James, so like the beloved Grandparent that he is named for; Jared such a beautiful little boy and sweet spirit, loves to pick on and tease his mother; David, name means Beloved and as the youngest of 8 had the most bosses and critics in his life and truly was looked forward to and has been beloved.
Each child was wanted, looked forward to and has been a source of joy through the years and have given me wonderful sons-in-law, daughters-in-law and grandchildren that are wonderful to behold.
L - Life is incomplete without: without feeling close to my best friend
M - Marriage Date: 27 May 1966
N - Number of Siblings: one, an older sister, who after my husband is my very best friend
O - Oranges or Apples: a wonderful expression to describe differences of opinion, I like both and have found both have value in relationships
P - Phobias or Fears: that my husband will give up on me
Q - Quote: Only one life, will soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last.
R - Reason to Smile: when one of my children realizes on their own, they messed up and then learns from it and moves on; not needing my help or advice
S - Sappy or Adventure Movies: Here is one of my changes, I don't like the word sappy as if a moving, uplifting movie is silly or trivial. I love a movie that touches your heart, makes you cry and that you are better for having seen it. Where the goodness of a person and life is depicted. I like adventure movies with lots of action and heros that win over the bad guys. I really dislike movies that only depict the dark side of people or life.
T - Tag: anyone who wants to go back and change anything
U - Unknown fact about me: wow, whats not to know, I am pretty open and especially my husband and kids know me pretty well, I may come up with something later or maybe one of my kids can chip in.
V - Vegetarian or Oppressor of Animals: this is one that bugged me a little, as if eating meat makes you an oppressor of poor little animals. I don't make fun of people who eat only plants. If you don't eat meat, fine. Just don't try to make me feel like I am a murderer becasue I do. Apples and oranges.
W - Worst Habit: working outside or reading a book instead of cleaning my house
X - Xrays or Ultrasounds: apples and oranges, but don't ask me about mammagrams.
Y - Your Favorite Foods: sonic hamburgers, pizza, hotdogs (really), mexican, anything chocolate
Z - Zodiac: have no idea, never really understood or got into signs
