1. Being a mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me. It is the hardest and most rewarding thing that I have ever done.

3. I like cheetos.

4. My sisters are my best friends. Holly is probably the most like me. Jen and I didn't really get along as kids cause I wanted her to think I was cool and I wasn't. But now we are best friends. Lisa and I got really close when we worked together one summer at Camp Explorer and hung out a lot after work. I am so glad cause we weren't super close before that.
