About

Was an exchange student in Spain Love speaking Spanish Am an only child Signed up for Facebook after reunion Would love to live abroad again Want to travel through Europe Am thankful I have a cleaning lady Love my husband and our inside jokes Am blessed to have the parents I do Have fantastic in-laws Wish the dryer would stop eating our socks Think chocolate peanut butter is the best combination Treasure my friendships Think girls' night out is a must Like to laugh until I cry Think popcorn is a must at the movies Don't like drama Like quiet Think kids say the funniest things Wish we (husband and I) were handy around the house Like sunflowers and dragonflies Am so happy with my new flower garden Keep things organized Am so thankful for the life I have, the job I do, and my friends, family, and husband.

Favorite saying

• "Change your thoughts and change your world. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. You are only what you are when no one is looking. People who know little are usually great talkers, while those who know much say little. Those who are poor, smile at what they have, yet those who have good fortune, frown at what they do not have. Be the change you want to see in the world. There's no place like home. Everyone has the power to make others happy. Some do it by entering the room, others by leaving it. Kindness makes a fellow feel good whether it's being done to him or by him. The best things in life aren't things. My head is full of children. "
