Question #40

Q: What is the hardest Young Woman value to work on?

A: I would say Individual Worth. It is something I have struggled with my whole life... mostly starting at the age of Jr. High. I have always had a hard time not comparing myself to others and being to harsh on myself about my appearance and my intelligence. It's hard living in the world that we do. It is one of Satan's greatest tools... getting us to compare ourselves to others and not think we are good enough. I have improved a lot over the years.

Question #39

Q: Am I involved in any clubs or extra -curricular activities?

A: In Jr High. I was playing afterschool softball and volleyball against other Jr. High's. I was also taking art. Beyond that... I was doing whatever we were doing in Young Womens.

As of NOW.... I play summer ward softball. Our ward team is pretty awesome. (I guess some of my activities have not changed much). I have also been on and off involved with different choirs. I even made a CD with my friend Wes. I volunteered tutoring kids once a week. Now I'm looking for another place to serve in the community. I have been on and off with taking tap dancing. Of course I have always been involved with church and whatever activities that may bring for me. I should look into taking some classes. I'm always trying to learn new things. I have kind of started a little photography club with some friends. Oh and I got scuba certified.... that was an extra curricular activity. So gald I did it. Love it.

Question #38

Q: What is your favorite hymn?

A:  That is hard. There are so many good ones. I have always loved "Be Still My Soul" and "Abide with Me". Also love "Lead Thou me On" and "Lead, Kindly Light". I just think they are so beautiful and get excited whenever I get to sing these songs in church.

Question #37

Q: Describe your dream home.

A: I don't know if I have ever had a dream home in mind. I know there are certain things I would love to have in a future home. I would love to have a beautiful garden in the back with a pond or awesome fountain. I would love to have a big back pourch area with a cute outdoor furniture... for BBQ's and entertaining. With hanging lights. I would like a nice big kitchen. I would like to have a massage room so I can work out of my home. I would love to have a BIG walk in closet. Oh that is my biggest dream of all for my future home. A big enough walk in closet that I could have a rug and chase lounge and everything is nice and organized. Big master bedroom. If I ended up living next to a beach... I would love to have a big salt water tank of fish and coral and such that I have collected myself on my scuba dives. Beyond that... I just want it to be cute and comfortable and filled with a family that I love.

Question #36

Q: Would you have been a good pioneer? Why or why not?

A: That is a really hard one. My first reaction is no. I'm so used to my comfortable life that I can't imagine having to do it any other way. However... if I didn't know any other way of life that might be different. I am determined and I am faithful and obedient.... so maybe I would have been a good pioneer. Would I have survived? I don't know. I would like to stay that I am strong enough that I would make the best out of life no matter what the circumstances are.... but again, I don't think I will ever know.

Question #35

Q: What is your room like? Do you share it with someone? What makes it special to you?

A: I actually just redid my room last year. I LOVE it. My room is beautiful, with a comfy bed. I love the colors and how relaxing and inviting it is. It is tiny... but I still love being in it. The bed takes up most of the room... but I don't care. I mean, that is where I want to be anyway. Do I share it with someone? No... I wish I did though, only because I wish I were married. What makes it special? The fact that it is my creation. I decorated and designed and painted my room and I love how it worked. How often can people say that? I sleep well, I'm relaxed when I'm there... it is cozy and clean and organized and the fact that I can escape from my busy life and feel calm and relaxed in my room... that is what makes it special.

Question #34

Q: What is a good age to get married and why?

A: That is a hard question. I think it is going to be different for everyone. I think there are some people that do well get married young and it is better that way and other that got married young that shouldn't have because they were not sure of who they were yet. Personally... I think 25 and up is a good age. I think having your single years is important. It is good to be on your own for a while. You learn so much and you have your whole life to be with someone else. Honestly though... I think one is ready when they feel the desire and that they are mature enough to handle the responsibilies that come along with marriage and family. For some that comes younger some that comes when they are younger. Although I continue to learn and grow as a person.... I feel like I have been ready for a while. I'm just waiting for a guy who is ready to take the journey with me.
