In honor of Mother's Day being this past Sunday, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for you to get to know my mom, Laura! To know her is to love her - she is simply the best! She's funny, loving, the ultimate care taker, and is constantly working on a project.
To get to know her a little better, here's a little "motherhood" Q&A (along with a couple of get-to-know-me questions) she sat down with me for.
Q1: What is your favorite song to listen to?
A: "How Great Thou Art"
Q2: What is something you love to do in your spare time?
A: "Read the Bible and Debbie Macomber books."
Q3: How many kids did you want before you were a mother?
A: "None, but God changed my mind and blessed me with two at one time." (I'm a twin!)
Q3: Who was your role model as a child? Who is it today?
A: "My mother (Peggy Ann). You." (mama's gonna make me cry!)
Q4: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A: "Radiology technologist. After I was in a serious car wreck in high school, it peaked my interest."
Q5: What is the best lesson you learned from your mother?
A: "That you can't please everybody all the time."
Q6: What did you admire most about your mother?
A: "Her faith in the Lord."
Q7: What is your favorite food?
A: "I would say guacamole and then Chick fil a." (Same, girl, same.)
Q8: What has surprised you most about motherhood?
A: "How much you could love someone unconditionally."
Q9: Do you want grandchildren? If so, how many?
A: (as she laughs...) "One day I do, and no more than two."
Q10: What has been the most rewarding part of being a mother?
A: "Gosh, there's so many things. Watching my children grow up to be strong and independent adults."
