Did you have a childhood hideout? Where? Describe it.

My Childhood hideout is seriously the best hideout ever! My neighbor had a built in laundry cabinet like thing in her bathroom that had a little curtain to hide the dirty clothes. My neighbor and I would take all the dirty clothes out and hang out all afternoon in this cubby. Her Mom, who by the way the best Mom ever second only to my Mom of course. She would bake us cookies and we'd sit in our hideout eating cookies and milk while playing barbies. It was AWESOME!

What is your favorite scripture? Why?

Alma 48:17 says that if all men were like Moroni that the very powers of hell would be shaken forever. I think it's pretty self explanatory why I love that scripture. Imagine if ALL men were like Moroni, this world would be a much better place.

What are your favorite flowers, colors, activities and hobbies?

It's hard to pick just a few flowers because I love almost all flowers. My favorite color is Pink and all shades of it. I love to read and listen to music. My favorite hobby is card making and scrapbooking.

Thinking back, was there a teacher or class that had a great influence on you?

In 9th and 10th grade I had the most amazing Choir Director EVER! She taught me to love music and taught me how much joy it can bring to your life. She will always be my role model for how to teach music to my children and hopefully they'll love it as much as I do.

Tell how you feel about water - playing in it, using it.

 I love to play in water except for rivers, lakes and ponds, only because I can't see where my feet are. I prefer pools for swimming, I do enjoy going to the beach but I don't like going out too far. I think I might be more comfortable in the ocean if it were as clear as the ocean is in Oregon. I don't like drinking water by itself, it has a weird taste to it. We don't drink tap water in our house, we have water delivered so we can avoid all the funky nasty stuff in the water.

Describe your favorite outfit as a teenager.

When I was in 8th grade I had the cutest shirt ever! It was a white cotton ribbed shirt with tulips. the end of the sleeves and the hem of the shirt were kind of ruffled in the way they were sewn. It was the perfect top to wear with a pair of jeans and some sandals. I loved the way it looked on me and I loved the way I felt when I wore it. Even, my boyfriend David loved that shirt.

What was your biggest fear as a child?

Until I was out of High School I was deathly afraid of dogs. It didn't matter if they were big or small, loud or even quiet. I wouldn't go near one for all the money in the world. Finally, after visiting my brother for a few weeks after I graduated I got over my fear. They had a little poodle named Skippy, he was the sweetest dog ever and from the minute I walked in the door that dog was my best friend. I was however still afraid of large dogs and to some extent I still am afraid of certain breeds.
