Best quotes:

Worst thing about Me:

Depending on a situation I can get stressed easily, and I don’t hide emotions very well.  Growing up I was known as the family stomper, and can remember numerous times having to walk up or down the stairs the right way without stomping when I was mad.

Children:

I don’t have any of my own, but sure have been blessed with many in my life that I love to pieces. 

iPhone or Droid?

iPhone

StarWars or Star Trek?

Neither, sorry 

Favorite games to play

Risk, Catan, Killer Bunnies, Mexican Train, Dutch Blitz and I can now say that I have joined the rest of the world and I play angry birds on a daily basis! 

Favorite time of day

Not exactly a morning person, but there is something to be said for driving in the quiet, peace of the early morning.  Definitely a fan of night time when I can settle down from a crazy day and go to sleep, or stay up late being goofy and silly due to being overtired

Fettuchini Alfredo w broccoli is one of the only dinners I can make very well

Life is like

a rollar coaster ride, there will be many ups and downs along the way with all sorts of twists and turns, but in the end it all comes to a stop and you realize it was the best.
