fireflies on hot summer nights, and going to Hardees almost every morning and eating

that she would be there with bells on)!

My wedding day. I loved every minute of our special day! Walking down the aisle to
marry my Prince Charming was the very best moment of my life!
The day Caroline was born! This day was perfect beyond measure.
Being surrounded by family and friends and all those that loved us while
introducing them to Caroline was so precious! I could relive that moment over and over!
March 29, 2009 was the day that God gave Sam and me the most beautiful gift: Caroline!

That I grew up with fabulous friends. I have treasured friendships that
developed in preschool and that still remain. It's a group of us that have endured
and shared many of life's moments and blessings together. I'm so thankful
for all of my friends. They are jewels! Thanks gals!!!
17. What are three things that brighten your day?
Caroline's laughter, a happy meal, and Coca Cola!
18. What is your favorite indulgence?
Peanut M&M's (Raven's mother and grandmother always made sure these were

whipped icing, and Hershey Kisses (there are others but these three were the first
that came to mind).
19. What was your first job?
I worked in a Chinese restaurant! The best in town: China Kitchen! I still crave
their Sweet and Sour Chicken!
20. What do you admire?
The faith and strength of others that have walked through some of life's
hardest and most challenging times and yet still come out more faithfilled
and stronger than before their trials. It is these people that others are
watching and how they react to their tribulations as their faith is tested.
21. What is your favorite slogan or motto?
I don't really have one, but I have a phrase that I sometimes refer to, especially
when I'm wanting different results or reminding myself to try
something new and its: "If you always do what you've always
done then you'll always get what you've always gotten".
I found this saying in my sister's Bible years ago. It was part of some
sermon notes she'd taken at church one Sunday.
22. What are some things in life that you have learned that have helped guide your living?
Wow..good question! I can quickly think of two. When I graduated from high school
my paw-paw Hick wrote me a letter about life, living, and how to be an agent of
change for others, especially for those that are victims of injustice.
The second being words of wisdom from my sister before I left for college. She gave me
things to think about and words of encouragement as I entered into college life!
