What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

For me in this chapter that we are currently in...we are seeing in more of a full view the the new self realization they are learing and discovering everyday. 2 in college and one a junior in HS we battle the teenage agnst and push back but at end of day I get to see what great people they are becoming and the generational and cultural shifts we as parents got to change and or end. I am proud daily of them, proud to see their greatness shine more and more everyday finding their confidence.

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

Their first outdoor adventure camping in Montana. We had relocated from Tusla OK and they new nothing about mountains and waterfalls or just outdoor nature. They seen their first moose cross the lake right in front of us 😳(scary), their first toe in a glacier lake, campfire and roasting marshmallow, cooking a fish on a fire pit, outdoor bathroom (not too impressed with that initially). It was all just such new a experience to watch them take in.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would do a vacation with them with part of it. We have been in a struggling overly stress period these last 4 years with health and new resposnobilities. I just want to see them smile and laugh with now weight. I just want to laugh and relax with them no stress for just a day or two. Invest money for their future goals. Catch up on bills to give the family a breather, a reminder of what our faith and our work is for.
