Memory with SpouseWhen we were dating Michael drove 3 hours just to be with me. We ended up talking until 5 in the morning! It was great. To this day he still keeps me up late because he just wants to talk to me.
Memory with a ChildThe first time I was alone with Jayla. I held her tight and I couldn't get over how beautiful and perfect she was.
MoviePride and Prejudice, Remember the Titans, The sound of Music and any action movie. I love a good "Chic Flick" and sports movies always remind me of the fun I had playing in high school sports.
Music GroupAnything: Country, alternative, pop, R&B, I love it all!! I love anything that has a beat to it so that Jayla and I can dance to it. She absolutely loves music. When a good song comes on she stops whatever she is doing to bust a move.
Musical7 Brides for 7 brothers...we used to watch that over and over when we were little so it brings back good memories.

Sport to PlaySoccer, softball, baseball, kickball, volleyball, racquetball (anything that ends in “ball”). I grew up playing sports of all kinds.
Sport to WatchSoccer, basketball, gymnastics, dancing, football baseball and snowboarding events, anything but golf. Michael is a huge sports fan and so am I. We have many fond memories of watching games together and rooting for our team to win.
Time of DayBreakfast...Michael helps me cook a big homemade breakfast before he goes to work.
TraditionAfter Thanksgiving we all get together to make gingerbread houses. We spend all day competing to see who can make the most creative structure. I have seen anything from a rocket to a birdhouse to a basketball court.
Vacation SpotSnorkeling in Bermuda. One of our good friends grew up in Bermuda so she knew the island well. We took a cruise ship to Bermuda and then we rented scooters. We traveled across the entire island to all of the secluded beaches unknown to tourists.
