About me.

Okay so I was sitting here one day and reading all these blogs that people write and I got to thinking, I should write a blog. Not that I would actually ever make any money doing it, but maybe someone can enjoy my random thoughts. A little background on me. I am the middle child, the sixth of ten children actually, and that does not count all the kids that came home with various family members and lived with us, who I still consider family. We are a very entertaining family, we love to make people laugh. Our home is so loud that when we get together that it is hard to get a word in edgewise. We just enjoy each others company We were in no way wealthy according to money, but as my mom always said we were rich in children. I started babysitting when I was 11 and had my first job when I was 15. Our whole family pitched in to support each other. I will never forget my brother sending me a very much needed twenty dollars while I was in college. We just thought about each other that way. We all succeeded as good people in society and I feel my parents did a wonderful job raising us. I love people. I get easily attached. I love it when they are happy, I love being able to do service and I am grateful for every thing other people have done for me, but I am also deeply concerned for people and feel a responsibility to all people around me. I have been told many times by various people that I am a little crazy for being that way but it is such a strong part of me and it is one of my core beliefs that I can not let go of. I am deeply religious. My religion is a big part of who I am. I am not the way I am in-spite of my religion, but I am the way I am, because of it. Not just because my parents taught me to be so, but because I think about religion all the time. I have lots of questions and I am alway thinking. I can not imagine that there is no God and therefore he must be there. I see his hand in all things. I love the sunshine, the clouds, the rain and everything I can even think of. I see the purpose in all things, including mosquitos even though I would prefer that they left me and my children alone. I majored in Biology Composite Teaching because I love everything and it was the most eclectic major ever. I love random facts. I loved classes on thinking and I will never forget the crazy ecology class that ended up being a class on debunking false logic. I love to teach. I not only majored in teaching, but I look forward to explaining and answering questions. I try to be humble enough to learn from others as well. I love to learn and I don't think you can enjoy life without a love of learning. I went on an LDS Mission to Argentina. I loved the people. I still dream about them. I wish I knew what they were all up to. It gave me this insight into foreign countries that I never had before. It also made me realize how lucky I am to have the freedoms I have in the USA. Many people who never see first hand the consequences of loosing certain freedoms do not understand the effect. I have always been interested in politics and even law. I have deep respect for people who are trying to help our country on large political scales, but I have a deep belief in individual responsibility and sacrifice as the true way to improve our world. We must never stop progressing as individuals. I married a wonderful man from Nigeria. We knew pretty quickly that we were meant for each other. I have never regretted my decision to marry him. We think very differently on many aspects, but we are the same on the most important ones. He is kind and thoughtful. He does his best in everything he does. He is ambitious in his efforts to make everything around him better. Which creates many good friends and a few enemies. He is a wonderful husband and father. We have four children. Two girls a boy and then a girl at the end. Our first daughter had various speech problems when she was younger and our children have had various problems with asthma and allergies. Our son was born with Spina Bifida, His back was closed when he was one day old and a shunt placed in his head at three days. He has had many medical problems, but he is a miracle in every way. He has learned to walk with only the assistance of AFOs and he is a smart kind child. His sisters take care of him. All my children are kind. I am amazed how kind they are. They look forward to being together. I constantly hope that I can make life better for them and be a good parent.
