1. I'm a SPED Teacher for boys that should be in TYC but aren't because they are mentally retarded and can't be tried. Most of them have committed a serious crime.

2. I LOVE my job - most of the time.

3. I took ROTC and Karate while in college and loved it.

4. So far, I have completed life a little backwards. I got pregnant, graduated high school, then married, and had my first child, Jessica Leigh all in that order in 1990. Jessica is a beauty. She turned 18 in December.

5. 1992, we moved to Darmstadt Germany. I was 8 1/2 months pregnant when I got on a plane with as many belongings as I could carry plus a 2 year old child. My husband at the time was already in Germany so I made the trip alone.What was I thinking?

6. I had my second child, Richard Kody in 1992. He was born with the umbilical wrapped around his neck 3 times. He lost quite a bit of oxygen. He has mental retardation but is smarter than many adults that I know.

7. I divorced in 1998 and then went to college as a single mother.That was stupid - Should have at least got the degree while I was married!

8. When I divorced, I didn't have a place to live. I didn't have a car or any furniture. I took the kids, their bunk beds and left. I got a job with a temporary agency and Leslie Maxwell Robinson's aunt let me rent a mobile home.

9. I don't regret getting married. Nor do I regret my divorce.

10. In 2003, I got my Bachelor's in Psychology, started working on a Master's in Social Work, and joined the Church of Jesus Christ, Latter-day Saints all in the same year.

11. Quit my Master's - I didn't like all the liberal views.

12. I love my Savior and my Heavenly Father. Joining the church was the best thing of my life. I have never been happier.

13. I'm the Young Women's President for our little Mexia Branch.

14. I love math and science.I read textbooks for fun! I know I'm a little weird!

15. I have three active blog spots. Check them out to the right.

16. I love living in the country. Most mornings my alarm clock is the little birdies right outside my window. I was sad this morning. The ice storm sent the birdies away. Instead I woke up to the cold, but that turned out to be a good thing because school was delayed for 2 hours.

17. I am in the middle of reading the entire Bible. I'm still in the Old Testament but I only started this in November. I read it straight through as a child so I figured as an adult it should be easier. I have read the entire Book of Mormon 3 times.

18. Johnny Kay Davison Wizorek is my oldest but dearest friend. We still keep in touch. She lives in Indiana. One day we're going to contact Oprah so she can put us on her show. We haven't seen each other since Jr. High.Wouldn't that be a reunion?! LYLAS!

19. My next oldest friend would be Leslie Maxwell Robinson. I have known her for a long, long time. She is always there when I need her.

20. Paula Camp is also a dear old friend. I always know where to find her. She is my foundation. We're both Libras and we are so much alike. She has listened and taught me so much. When I feel like losing it she brings me back to Earth.

21. Dee Stock is my "soul buddy". What I mean by that is that I always feel the Spirit when I'm around her. She brings the best out in me.

22. Then I have the Stewart's, Doug and Joyce. I don't know what I would do without them. Doug has taught me things about life that not many people get. We have shared, discussed, debated, studied, and raised up new thoughts and questions. Joyce is a kind spirit that forgets everything and everyone else when you walk into the room. You are solely her focus. She has been the kind hug, the scratch on the back, the hair twirler (those things that grown girls miss).

23. I love to write and have given several talks at church. Although, I love to write I do not necessarily like speaking. I still get butterflies and my hands shake uncontrollably. Somebody once told me the more you give public speeches the easier they get. I wonder if they ever gave more than one speech because it hasn't gotten any easier for me.

24. I feel deep sorrow for the youth of today. I work with some of the Youth that I have kept in touch with in Houston and I work with the Youth here. There's not much difference. I see darkness, depression, eating disorders, cutting, and much more. I wish they could find their life purpose and know how much God loves them.

25. I am more religious now then I was in Jr. High and High School. Those who knew me then knew I was pretty spiritual back then. Today you would probably call me a fanatic. I believe in keeping the commandments, committing to staying pure in body and mind, and trying to improve myself daily. To many this may sound like I have no fun and that my life is boring filled with rules and limitations. But I'm here to tell you it's the opposite. I have never been more alive. I love life. I love the opportunities and lessons that Life brings.
